Members goFish Posted August 30, 2006 Members Share Posted August 30, 2006 When I was a kid, I fought going to sleep. Now, I fall asleep doing stuff I like. I'm watching my favorite show, it's a great episode, and all of a sudden, I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out of town, and fortunately, they missed my area anyway. This also qualifies as the first time in my life I've been called "old man". Although recently, I was explaining to a kid that when I grew up, "dude" meant "cowboy", and no young person ever used that word. He thought for a second or two and then said, "you mean they only started using it in modern times?" Incidentally, I'm 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(my folks are in Michigan City, and they lost a tree and some siding) Falling asleep in front of the TV definitely qualifies you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blue2blue Posted August 30, 2006 Members Share Posted August 30, 2006 Originally posted by boosh Everyone that was born before Armstrong touched the moon is Old. Yes, Booshie... but that is why we know so much more than you. Not only was I born long before Neil Armstrong walked on the moon -- I saw Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong playing on a paddle-wheel river boat. Nyah-nyah-nyah. :D PS... and the same summer Neil walked on the moon I saw Jimi Hendrix jam for 3 hours on a Sunday afternoon. (Well... me and 2 or 3 hundred thousand of my closest friends.)

Members blue2blue Posted August 31, 2006 Members Share Posted August 31, 2006 Well, I really DID see Louis Armstrong playing hot jazz on a paddle wheel steamboat... ... although it wasn't exactly the Mississippi river. It was a man made "river" that went around in a circle in Anaheim, California, with "Tom Sawyer's Adventureland Island" in the middle... But it was really Louis Armstrong and he was playing real jazz -- and it was REALLY hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members D Charles Posted August 31, 2006 Members Share Posted August 31, 2006 I remember saying; "When cokes go up to a quarter in the vending machines, that's it! I ain't buying em no more!" When I was short if I could come up with 60 cents, that was a great Saturday. The movie show was .35, coke was .10, and popcorn was .15. If I could score an extra dime then I could get a pea shooter and peas and sit in the balcony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got more if you bought two 5 cent boxes. Two hamburgers, fries, and a coke for 50 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two hamburgers, fries, and a coke for 50 cents. geez, that's right, the soda was like 7 or 8 ounces, I think the smallest soda you can get at fast food places now is twice that size...ah. the popcorn boxes at the movies, you put your perpetual hard on through the bottom flap while your date went to the bathroom, when she came back she reached into the box in your lap and felt Mr.Happy all covered with erstaz butter. boy howdy, the good ol' days. ps... I never really said "boy howdy" but I heard Glen Campbell say it once when I was stoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
