Short time???
Dude when did they go out of style??
Flannel shirt goes well as accessory.

This is one for those 40+

I remember toys were a lot more awesome. We had the colorforms, lite bright, and easy bake oven. Those were some days when I could spend just hours outside. We were only inside as a form of punishment.
And chemistry sets that had blowtorches, cyanide, radioactive uranium ore, copper sulfate, and potassium nitrate to make your own gunpowder.
I remember something called Sixfinger. An extra finger that was a toy gun with some serious firepower and those little plastic bullets hurt like hell. Wonder how my little brother didn’t get his eye shot out. One of the bullets even came equipped with a cap that would explode on impact.
Ah, the good old days.
My second car 1981 LT...
Dates were much easier to "locate"...
Helped get a few more too.
First car was a 1960 Corvair, second a 1966 Nova, and third was a 1971 Camaro. Got more girls with the Corvair than the other two combined. I guess I went for ones with odd tastes.

....one of my favorite places as a kid....
....and these boys were one of the soundtracks to my teens....
Those look like pretty old cars parked outside, but to be honest, I was surprised not to see horses tied to a post.....one of my favorite places as a kid....

Those were no pity dates. My second big crush drove a Corvair. A real dreamboat! The guy, not the car.First car was a 1960 Corvair, second a 1966 Nova, and third was a 1971 Camaro. Got more girls with the Corvair than the other two combined. I guess I went for ones with odd tastes.
I just heard the huge toy store chain, Toys 'R' Us, will likely go belly up very soon. I used to take my (now 47 year old) son there to pick out Star Wars action figures when he was just a kid.

I've talked about this before. I had the ultimate date car. I'm not bragging, because I was too unpopular for it to be used to spec. But it was the ultimate date car.
Rear seat folds forward. Truck divider folds back. Seven feet of stretch-out room in the back, with big picture window to admire the stars. It was a great car to, um, take camping.

sigh. I vaguely remember those days when I had a hormone.
...I seem to recall a day when I could make a whore moan....yep, I’d just forget to leave the money....
...love me an old Barracuda....
Sambo's restaurants, which had a really interesting evolution.
It was started by a couple guys who got the name from a fusion of syllables taken from both their real names, first name Sam for one, last name starting with Bo for the other.
Well, there was also this story called "Little Black Sambo," which people took to be African (and the stories were generally illustrated as such) but were actually Asian Indian (hence the tigers in the book). Being even the child geek that I was, I wondered how an African family could be confronted by tigers, which are not indigenous to Africa. Anyway.
Rather than renaming or disclaiming that connection, they embraced it, to varying results. The story was either charming or racially patronizing, depending on the sensibilities of the one reading it, and when you step into an arena like that, it's a "please all, please none" environment. So that was a problem. In their expansion, they had other corporate practices that helped seal the ultimate doom.
I liked that restaurant, though. Kind of like a Denny's or Village Inn, but more enjoyable.
