” I’m gonna knock your block off !! “
Tyco ho slot cars. Damn, those were fun. But the controllers on mine were a pistol grip with a “trigger”……
And I had the High-Bank Curve tracks….
Slot cars — fantastic.
I did, but it was a little wrong the way I did it. Purloined for cash from the shopkeepers stash around the back. Harold Haddow, the store keeper caught me one day and for a week I could not sit down after Dad removed his 2inch belt and used it as a deterrent on my bare ass. Never nicked anything since.
Boy Howdy……
If only I’d known what was comin’ down the pike back then…….
“Don’t look at my face!”
One bagger.
Homo
I dont find her attractive
Mila Kunis?
Christie Brinkley?
Hot.
Heck even Olivia De Havilland was hotter back in her day.
Probably a nice trim bush on her back then. Yes ma’am Miss Daisy!!
Sour grapes
Ha. I remember neighbor doing a play by play based on skin color…he said the ball was being carried by an N…a big bkack N. The 9 to 10 year old crowd went wild. This was 1978.
Yeah. The thing about using “nigger”…
To me, it was always slang.
Short, for “Negro” with no offense really intended.
Then they started taking offense. NWA. Niggas Wit Attitude. A northern thang.
Then, they started earning the disrespect, with abhorrent behavior.
Then, we had a period of understanding, and moved toward mutual respect.
Then, Obama came on the scene, and fucking trashed 30 years of progress of blacks and whites finding common ground.
Tayshaun.
The minute these MFers canonized a thief, by posting pictures of him as a young teenager in a hoodie, instead of the punk ass thug he was, casing the neighborhood for easy B&E targets, was the beginning of the decay.
Painted that POS as a victim. Utter ‘king BS. He wasn’t a martyr. A criminal.
Then comes big lips George Floyd. Another created martyr. Please.
Enough fentanyl in his blood analysis to kill a horse. Thug. Resistor.
And “I can’t breeve” is the rally cry. Another victim of whitey police brutality.
NARRATIVE. Hands Up.
Then, the rise of Black Lives Matter, and all of their corrupt ulterior motives.
FFS, there are still churches with white congregants who hold signs along busy thoroughfares with the BLM narrative bullshit.
Fucking white guilt.
Useless emotion.
Female in origination. Emotionally driven.
For hatred of their own, the conservative male elders who they despise.
Yet know this:
A black criminal opportunist would beat TF out of you, Gladys, and steal all of your shit, if given the opportunity. Maybe even rape you out of spite and hatred.
Even then, you’d probably forgive him, believing him to be a person of unfortunate circumstances, and worthy of mercy, and generous consideration.
Die your hair blue, madam; just like your progressive city you dwell in.
Your time is short.
If not a muslim invader from Africa, you’ll soon be swarmed by Haitian thugs who have no fucks to give about the emotional high ground you claim.
Then, you shall reap what you’ve sown. Enabled. In your ignorance.
And your white brethren, whom you abandoned in misplaced shame,
will have no fucks left to give.
Own it, bitches.
It’s coming.
BUT, ~on the flip side, there are decent men of all creeds.
Avoid the wide brush painting, I suppose.
This is how a black treats whites when he is in an a white neighborhood.
You will never see a black this nice to a white in a black neighborhood.
Well, you might once, but after that the blacks will kill the black race traitor saying shit like “Go help white bitch now uncle tom”, as they curb stomp his head.
Wtf, dude? I was making a comment about a football game and the fact that a 9 year old kid made a play by play saying a N ran down the field and scored a TD. This was in 1978. And no I don’t wish to be raped by anyone, nor will I color my hair blue. Fuck that shit and good day to you.
āRomanticism is man’s revolt against reason, as well as against the condition under which nature has compelled him to live.ā ā Ludwig von Mises
āOnly stilted pedants can conceive the idea that there are absolute norms to tell what is beautiful and what is not. They try to derive from the works of the past a code of rules with which, as they fancy, the writers and artists of the future should comply. But the genius does not cooperate with the pundit.ā

Phoebe Cates! Doesn’t anybody fucking knock anymore??
She hit the wall face first at ludicrous speed.
And they’re all ugly inside. But the rose sure does shine.
Today, they’re just fat, entitled whores.
Whatever.
We’ll always have this…
Hi , Brad….
Cates = Katz
3 of the best actors tha ever played the game. Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef
Don’t forget Charles Bronson.
Charles Bronson was captivating on Man With A Camera!

My first album.
Remember the little green dinosaur soaps given away at Sinclair gasoline?
I remember the plastic dinosaurs they gave away.
No GenXer would remember that scene. They weren’t even an itch in their Daddy’s sack back then.
I remember when it went up to $0.18. My dad read rhe attendant the riot act. āWhat -do you think we are all made of moneyā?
“The attendant” – another bygone institution.
My grandparents owned full service gas stations/repair shops. I pumped gas , swept up , moved cars….every day they bought a couple dozen donuts for customers. Free coffee too. Great days.
When most of us die and techno-Davos at last rules, no one left alive will ever believe that any of this ever existed. They’ll think it’s a white supremacist, heteronormative, Gaia-raping deepfake.
Or they’ll dismiss it as stupid and boring, compared to two-dimensional digital virtual reality. But there’s hope:
The Machine Stops, by E. M. Forster (1909)

What movie is that photo from?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road
If you click on the pic, its URL contains the words “road” and “cormac”: The Road, based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy.
(Glock doesn’t know anyone who’s experienced an unspecified apocalyptic global cataclysm . . . yet.)
};^D
I recommend the book over the movie, but the movie ain’t bad.
“The Road”
Cormac McCarthy.
The most underrated author of all time.
“Blood Meridian”
“No Country For Old Men”
“All The Pretty Horses”
A true genius.
“Blood Meridian” is one of the best novels I’ve ever read.
“Lonesome Dove” might be the best. Larry McMurtry.
Also wrote “The Last Picture Show” (genius) And “Terms Of Endearment” (WAY better than the shit movie)
Here he is, eulogized by some & demonized by others. More proof that everyone has an opinion – and other body parts:

Every Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day ā¦Ā the rest were indoors (New Years, Thanksgiving, Christmas) ā¦ and all of them often had 25+ extended family attending.
Like the song says, “Those Were The Days”.
Hollyweird was poking fun, but we know where it’s at.
Carrol O’Connor was a liberal (no surprise for an actor) yet he embraced the Archie role rather well-a real craftsman at his trade. Rob Reiner, on the other hand, is beyond a lost cause-especially as a human being, irrespective of his political views. Jean Stapleton likewise was an excellent actress. Too bad Carrol and Jean have moved on.
Reiner is insufferable, like DeNiro.
I would not make a sandwich for rob reiner.
He has been too much of self absorbed dick and he is going to get a lot of his buds killed with his mouth.
All those Norman Lear produced shows were Marxist propaganda, the whole long litany of them. Until “All in the Family” it was leftists that were the racist Union devotees, this shit flipped the script. It was part of the biggest psyop of all time, to the point that stupid RINO’s identify as fucking “red”. But they talk about Johnson’s great society still like it’s not the biggest cudgel used to destroy black America. Blacks are the example of what the Left wants for all the rest of us.
God bless America!
Maybe that’s from kissing Mrs. Claus ā¦
It’s 2024 and Santa smells like cannabis, astroglide, and lithium.
Why would anyone want to leave Gilligan’s Island?
BTW, why can the professor make a radio out of a coconut, but he can’t fix the hole in the hull?
Badoozh.
He didnāt fix the hole because he was doing Maryann.
Smart man that professor.
So, what you’re hinting at, is that he was indeed working on plugging up the hole all of that time?
The vax was already ruining lives and careers back in 1970:

The record company producer had a fight with the guitarist during the sessions.
So he buried the guitar solo under the background vocs.
Seen it a million times in Hellywood.
On a three hour tour:
Why did ths professor bring aresearch library?
Why did the Howells bring several trunks?
How come the people who spent the most time on the boat, The Skipper and Gilligan, only had one change of clothes?
No upper lip.
It’s a sign from gosh!
All hail MaryAnn!
Hemi Cuda – worth a fortune today.
I think this tune is more appropriate for the subject:
I’m dyinš¤£š¤£š¤£. Prolly because I’ve been there.
All those girls were completely safe.
DLR saw more young female ass than a toilet seat.
David Lee Romp
David Lee Rump
He likes boy butts.
Saw it, and then went and sucked cock.
Warner Bros will block the full video in America – copyright BS
More like the 70’s. Does that count?
Morgan David , we called it MD 2020 .
Not Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill ā¦Ā our poison was Boone’s Farm Apple Wine ā¦Ā to get our MDAR of formaldehyde ā¦
But — when we didn’t have any of the old sponduits, the drink of choice was Red Mountain Wine ā¦Ā $1.59 per GALLON ā¦
Did you do the cross over to Bartles & James? That drug it out another five years!
Would you like to know more?
I sure as hell do!
But . . . but . . . ya hadda actually look at people and talk to ’em?
That was the great benefit of those days — and earlier, as we Boomers know — none of this fake stuff like today ā¦
yeah…but they ALL looked prettier with the beer goggles on!
Started my life long interest in guns..
I had a red ryder , before that I had numerous toy guns. Back then they looked like the real thing.
We should have taken Shakespeare to heart even back in the ’50s and ’60s and gotten rid of all of the lawyersĀ ā¦ they’ve brought US nothing but pain and suffering.
Maybe We The People should file a class action lawsuit against all of themĀ ā¦
But then we’d have to hire lawyers . . .
Fourth grade, one warmish January day after returning from my lunch at home (while most of the other kids ate in the cafeteria) there I was out on the playground by myself making snowballs and throwing them up in the air. Shortly after recess was over the God damned old Miss Clarke grabbed me, took me to another classroom that was empty, and told me to write 500 times “I will not throw snowballs”. Later found out it was that stupid Patricia Strube who ratted on me-all because I was enjoying myself watching wet snowballs go up into the air and then splatter on the asphalt playground. It was about that time I learned that women were mostly fucking useless bitches. In the ensuing years nothing has done much to change that opinion.
“Blackboard rubber” ? WTF?
It’s called an “eraser”…DUFUS.
She has aged incredibly well.
77 years old.
Beautiful.
Lol , here’s a Savageism ” from Wonder Woman to wondering if She’s a woman ” Badabing !!
Imagine if we had gotten a Superman/WW film with Christopher Reeve and Lynda Carter in/around 1980?
I’d do it for my country.
Mom and Dad played bridge all the time with friends-never a shortage of used playing cards.
And you had real gasoline ā¦Ā not ethanol-laced gasoline that ruins things and costs a bundle to grease the palms of the farm state voting bloc.
NYNEX ads:
Be someone!
I don’t miss those. I do miss slamming down the receiver when I was pissed off though.
Right after AT&T was forced to allow Bell System customers to use their own residential phone equipment I drove 60 miles to the one guy who sold IT&T phones up in the big city and bought a white rotary wall phone-he didn’t have any other colors, but that was fine with me. Had the thing for over 30 years.
No caller ID , ” Hey do you have Pop in your cooler or Prince Albert in a can ? ” Prank phone calls ,and my three older sisters got their share of obscene phone calls .
“It adds its own spices.”
};^D
Had one of those until about 5 years ago. It still worked.
I gave mine away decades ago.
My mom had the Avocado version.
AhhhĀ ā¦ teflon is not a spice ā¦
But it IS a buzz . . .
My mother still uses one. Makes awesome corned beef hash!
Mom made pork chops and rice in it, which was my all-time favorite meal that hasn’t been replicated since. My mom forgot how to make it and this required artifact is no longer in her kitchen.
Did she use Campbell’s Mushroom soup with the rice?
You do that with chicken.
Sauteed onions on those chops?
Still have one, although quite a bit newer than the one pictured. Mainly relegated to hash brown duty for larger crowds.
I thought Mary Tyler Moore was so damn sexy
Mary was fine, but I was always drawn to Cloris Leachman:
The creation of Leeloo:
Mila Multipass.
Milla Jovovich is still perfect š
That works for me because Terry Garr was the one that I had wood for …
Madeline Cahn was also a hottie.
About as sexy as was allowed in those days. The producer could have really pushed the envelope and she would have been as famous as Wonder Woman.
Every time your Dad got a fill-up at the ARCO station, I got another animal for my Noah’s Ark.
Phillips 66 gave out iced tea glasses-real glass that was heavily textured so it wouldn’t slip out of your hand on a hot, humid day when the outside sweated cold water. Still have some in the back of the cupboard.
Wow. Wouldja lookit the social constructs on that li’l honey? Hubba hubba.

James Stewart & Donna Reed in a promotional shot for It’s A Wonderful Life.
It was, back then.
Nice nose.
No, um, bend.
Wow. Did life ever NOT SUCK back then.
It sucked when you were 13… too old to be a kid and too young to drive!
Even from a distance, it sounded like a 6-speed chainsaw separating time from space:
And this started my love affair with motorcycles.
Little Fauss & Big Hawlsey
That was my first bike, and how I learned to use a clutch.
I didn’t appreciate growing up in the 80’s anywhere near enough.
Thank you! So many of these…Ferris, The Breakfast Club. So happy to have been born in the year I was.
Siouxie Sioux of The Banshees and Robert Smith of The Cure.
YES, Bangles chick , hottest ever.
Yeah, she’s still super cute these days as well.
What?!
No mention of Wacky package stickers?!

Generation’s years are arbitrary, there is a big difference between an 1965 GenXer and a 1979 GenXer. Same with Baby Boomers 1946 boomers are alot different from 1964 boomers.
