These guys make polyester proud to be turned into clothing. They make hats proud to be worn. They make women glad to be women and men wish they could be as cool. Once Hollywood discovers these guys, everyone will wear pants like this. John Travolta once stole his best moves from these guys so he could hit the dance floor. He would admit it, too.

Imagine!
