Remember if your Lab got a hold of the neighbor's Poodle the result was called a mutt instead of a "designer breed"? I saw a labradoodle the other day for 800 bucks!!!

Those dogs look like they've been upholstered with shag carpet.

LOL, and not even 10 years ago they were still considered muts! Couldn't even give one away!
Bell bottoms. Man, I couldn't wait to get mine. Big whales. With some nice swede earth shoes.
And I can't remember seeing an ordinary person, outside of golf, wearing plaid pants. They were a staple when I was a budding lad.

Polyester suits with big lapels, wide ties. Corduroy slacks. Guys wearing shirts unbuttoned down to their navels. Eyeglasses with lenses as big as drink coasters. Weren't the '70s great?

Remember when you swore you'd never be like your parents?
Remember the 1st time you caught yourself saying something to or about the "kids today" & suddenly realized you were becoming your dad/mom?
Remember the time when you realized the music was too loud?
Have you reached the point that it's not loud enough?
Does it ever bother you that so many of those running for elected office are so much younger than you now?

I think we've reached a point where the newest generation doesn't know what to do in one of these:
- I remember when they attached carbon paper with my parents bills.. I would then take said carbon paper as a Kid and forge their signatures on various school forms..
- Parachute Pants
- Atari Computers
- Getting our first microwave oven
- BetaMax
- Celebrating holidays in schools without everybody getting offended.

I think most of the younger generation(s) would have no idea what carbon paper is... Much less the joy of sniffing a freshly mimeographed test/quiz in school.
When the work day was over at five ... sigh.

That's not a problem. They will explain how to do everything, and as long as you pay, it's fine.
OT- What is that glass box for??

Haha. Et tu, Brute?
I suspected I'd get that comment, but then the joke (unintentional on my part) seemed to be missed. Leave to you, Homer. :rockin:
It a time machine right ? A late model Tardis?

Found one of these in my old toys when we moved me Mum after the divorce.
How many times I woke up to the crazy freaking static. The broadcast day never ends now.

Bottle rocket wars with the neighborhood kids, and our parents didn't even care that we were putting bottle rockets in the end of whiffle ball bats and pointing them directly at each other..
The good old days lol

But did it have the pump with it? I had the "cyclescrammer" too. I loved those things. Back when it was age appropriate of course.

We used to shoot Roman candles at each other from across the street. You know, I don't think anybody on our street ever got hurt from this activity, I mean it's pretty tough to miss a bright ball of fire coming at you at night, especially when you konw it's coming. I think more kids got hurt from throwing, or rather failing to dodge/block a walnut or dirt clod.
I was in a waiting room today & overheard a little girl talking to her father or grandfather. She said "OK, let's go ride the elevator now." Made think waaaay back. Remember when you were young enough to see things like elevators & escalators almost as carnival rides?
Regards, GF.
