Well, since he got crucified on Friday and resurrected on Sunday they screwed it ALL up.

Exactly! And just think how terrible things would have been if they'd used wood screws like they were taught in shop class.

It's crazy how much electronics cost back then.   Computers, TV's, and stereos.     Those prices adjusted for inflation now would be ridiculous.

I presume the obituary for the owner of that estate included the phrase "died a virgin."

Anybody else ever ride on the armrest block as a kid in the 70's?

My dad was in a wreck when I was riding on it.  Old lady turned left in front of us.  Seatbelt?  no.  Carseat?  no.  I was 5 years old riding on that block and my dad's big ol' arm was my seatbelt.

FUCKING NOBODY, THAT'S WHO.  And fuck you for even contemplating the possibility.

Dadgum - I had that thing!  Don't even remember what it did - a number guessing game maybe?

It played a bunch of games - Tic-Tac-Toe, a ripoff of mastermind, a version of Simon, and even a weird blackjack.  Or you could just push the buttons in the backseat and annoy your patents while they drove.

Label from aerosol can of soft drink concentrate from 1967. IIRC the television commercial featured a kid with a secret agent-type attache case.

Mom was like, "negative Rampart".

The answer to that question is obvious.

For the record, Kate Jackson/Sabrina was one place where I bucked convention.  While everyone else was fawning all over Farrah, I was head over heels for Kate.

 

[retread 2951]

Of the Angels, give me her or Cheryl Ladd every day. On top of everything else, Kate's voice put it over the top.

Damn! There looks to be some high dollar G.I. Joe items in those photos. Wish I was in the area, I'd make a run at a couple of those.
