So this is where old folks come to post huh? Nobody is going to come in here with their pants hanging down around their butts axing me "whats up dog"? All of us in here were alive before a man set foot on the moon?
So this is where?

I was 14. The future looked so bright through them cheap sunglasses. Damn...wuh happen?
I guess I'm just too literal though. The first time I was asked, "Wus happenin' dawg?", I said, "I ain't no damn dog!". In the 60s being called "the man" was a bad thing, like being called a member/representative of the "establishment" or something. So the first time somebody told me, "You da' man", I said, "No I ain't, asshole!!!".
Tom Rush sang a song back then named, "Kids These Days" . No fuckin' shit man. Tom sure got that right. SSDD.

I was a year old when they landed on the moon. The PJ's comment made me blow out the hit I had just taken when I read it.
Nice to meet you. I see this is your first post.
i was about 1 yr old as well on that day.........recently I had a couple of younger friends over and they each asked me for a slice......My responce was I guess I could throw a frozen pizza in.........And I could not understand how they found it so hilarious.....turs out theses days a slice is what was a 1/8 for as long as I can remember
lol...slice is new to me too. But then some of my younger friends think a lid is what you top your jar off with. In my day that could have been a half oz or a righteous hat.
I was 9 when they stepped on the moon. Coolest part to me was that I was up past 11:00pm! Yes, I literally had on my pj's during the event.,,lol...

Damn!...I was a 20 year old veteran. I had a lot of partying to catch up on. I wasn't aware of the moon landing until about a week, later...when they got back....

Moon landing LOL!
I remember when "they" sent up Sputnik, and the long, long night of the Cuban Missle Crisis waiting for the end of the world as we know it.
I remember the Krazy Kat TV show, way before Howdy Doody ever premiered.
BTW, what's up dog?
(just kidding of course).

I gave one of my daughter's the middle name Moon because she was born on 20 Jul. Just a mere 18 years after man first stepped on the big cheese head.
That's about as hippie-like I ever got besides doin' the green, of course, and respecting mother nature. I suppose you might say I have some general hippy attitudes adjusted some to fit the realities of life in the USA.
Don't mean to hijack here, or start an argument, but wasn't that hippy movement started in the USA? Isn't "hippy" an American word? I see a Google in my future.

I cant really answer that question. I was born in 68 when the hippy movement was really going. Add to that the fact that I've been pretty much country all my life qualifies me even less. My parents were hippies though. My mom was a flower child. I always thought the UK had the hippy thing too.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The hippie subculture was originally a youth movement that arose in the United States during the mid-1960s, swiftly spreading to other countries around the world. The etymology of the term 'hippie' is from hipster, and was initially used to describe beatniks who had moved into New York City's Greenwich Village and San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district. The early hippie ideology included the countercultural values of the Beat Generation. Some created their own social groups and communities, listened to psychedelic rock, embraced the sexual revolution, and used drugs such as marijuana and LSD to explore alternative states of consciousness.

I just posted elsewhere the very first time I heard the term 'homeboy' and it happened to be directed at me while I was working in a bar in NY, I grabbed the guy (a 1st timer there) & slammed his ass against the wall telling him "I ain't NOBODY'S BOY!!!" and then threw him and his friends out.......
I really was tossing them for screwing w/the female clientele in the bar that night but calling me 'boy' anything was just fucking wrong & the very last straw.

Wow, you sure took that wrong. We don't despise ya, really we don't. We were laughing at ya though, really we were. We know we did silly stuff too, shoot many of us still do. We've earned the right to kid the younger generation as much as we please though as long as we're not being disrespectful.
