The soda fountain girl. What a beauty.
Phoebe Cates, my favorite especially after seeing her exit the pool to “moving in stereo”.
Now I give Spam and ammo for Christmas gifts.

I’m calling Jim Rockford. He’ll probably get his ass kicked and a black eye or two, but he’ll find the killer…

I’m thinking Perry Mason, with a side eye on Barbara Hale.

Did you see what they did to her character in the remake on HBO? They made her a lesbian. Paul Drake was remade as a black dude. And Perry Mason, the “white guy”, was an alcoholic.

My former wife used to say … ‘Change is inevitable, growth is optional.’

You’ve been arrested for murder…and you call a dead detective?
Lol.

I would pick Rockford.
I always heard James Garner was a decent human, AND an actor.

Perry Mason without question.
He never lost a case.

He was a childhood friend of my dad’s in Norman OK.
My grandmother told my dad, “That is the hansomest boy I ever saw.”
He was James Bumgarner then.

Well I guess after running over that fat fuck from Morgan & Morgan in my mom’s Plymouth I’d call Columbo, let him gather the facts; I’d then pick up some ice cream in the 442 to share with the bionic woman and wonder woman after we went tobogganing … followed by a Velamint or two. 😀

… and now that I think about it – my parents had those Poinsettia glasses – maybe that’s why one of my favourite sayings is “that’s GAY !”

Rockford and Columbo are my favorites.
Loved the Woolworths soda fountain and guns and ammo department as a kid.
My first college roommate had a GTO with a 4 speed shift.

Boone’s Farm was early 1970s. Nasty stuff but chicks drank it. Lite™ didn’t come on the market until 74-75.

Notice something about the “Good Old Days”? They were the White Old Days. It’s sad that we allowed the to destroy us.

WE didn’t allow it to happen – likely it’s just one of those things that happens throughout earth’s history: the majority of the population becomes habituated to easier living, questioning nothing, while the parasites of the species infiltrate the rule making mechanisms and DUPE the lazy unintuitive minded. It’s all lessons anyway – next life around hopefully more people remember their previous mistakes and will then have an opportunity to move up the ladder.

That sled reminds me that my uncle gave us the hood from a ’50 Chevy to use for a sled on this big hill next to his house. IIRC, eight of us could ride in it together.

Random thoughts from one in the peanut gallery.

-those hard candy raspberry discs that had a jelly center were addicting.

-Agree w/ the anon who mentioned the soda fountain girl. She’s a beaut.

-circa 2023, there’s still a herd of sheep wandering the streets of Philly, making puddles, though, instead of drinking from them. Modern ones are 2-legged, and they too, probably defecate wherever they roam in the streets.

-that bingo hall smoke filled haze…I coughed just looking at that. Imagine if ganja. Holee smokes.

-there’s some beauties in the Miss Universe pageant in ’52. One shudders to think what the representatives of the same lineup of countries would put forward in 2023.
Would there be ANY white / caucasian / natural females?

-from the shoulder up, Mark Spitz looks like he was a star in films rated triple ex.
“Chicka bow, chicka bow, chicka wow-wow…” {funky guitar music to set the mood, lol}

-Kathy Ireland had that sweet, girl-next-door look.

-I can’t peg the TV star between WW-Linda Carter and Boom Boom Mansfield. Anybody?

-I’d give Telly a call from the jailhouse. Especially after seeing that crazy bastard in The Dirty Dozen. {“Majuh! Majuh! Those wimen are born sinnuhs!”}
Marvin: “Yeah? Well, you’re on guard duty, Maggot, so tend to that.”

-the rims and BF Goodrich Radials just add so much eye candy to the Goat and 442.

-geez, those buckle-clasp black rubber boots…remembered well. I’d bet anyone 10 bucks that all 3 of the males on that toboggan are wearing those, and their toes are all frozen and feel like they’re going to crack off. But I do like the old man’s lid…he looks good in that one. Da!

edit / add: that picture of those 2 AF guys loading that ball turret MG is just a great historical picture w/ good resolution. Those jockeys had some cajones during WWII.

Good grouping today, Admin team. Bravo.

Lindsey Wagner.

Star of “The Bionic Woman.”
The spinoof from the “6 Million Dollar Man.” With Lee Majors.
Was going to be “T6M$ Woman” but the exes thought
it sounded like a high priced hooker so the name change.
