We had orange shag carpet at my house - and a tinsel tree in silver and green. I still have an obsession with lava lamps and those full Indian skirts thanks to my childhood.
My dad has this ugly green shag carpet STILL. He refuses to get rid of it and the thing has tentacles. It practically grabs on to your feet while you are walking. My dogs have battles with the thing every time they are allowed to go into the house. Pretty funny actually.
