[Dr. Purpur]

Didnt find what i was lookin for so far but found this stuff.

The silver propeller medal was my great uncles, The Braves was mine from the sixties, The brass coin is a Hadrian Dupondis ( 117-138 AD)

there was no color TV

I think our family was the LAST on our neighborhood block to get a color TV. Somehow films look better in b&w instead of
Turner-izing into color.

...when it was safe for kids to attend school...

Hi All~
Remember going to the movies in the summer? .50 for a Sunday matinee, and .75 cents the rest of the week. Then sometime around the late '70s or early '80s they went up to like 2.50 for a damn movie!! That was so much $$$!!! LOL! Now I don't go to the movies. If I really want to see it, I'll wait and watch it on DVD.
And I remember in the summer we would walk to Taco Bell and get taco's for .35 each. Less than 4.00 fed my sister and I quite well!

Hey, I have a big collection of baseball cards(bought at an estate sale). I don't know much about baseball, and am wonder if any of you guys here could name a few players that would be awesome to have in a collection?

BTW---I sort of hate CD's. Have never told anyone that before. But I miss using my stereo, LP's and 45's. Such an HUGE collection. And the sound...well, I know CD's are supposed to be better, but there is just something I miss about the ritual of playing my records, and using them to clean weed. =/
Peace always~

I remember sneaking up the back of the Hollywood Bowl with my sister to get a peak of the Beatles in 1964.

We could hardly see them but we could hear them well.

We then were chased away by a concerned Skunk

I remember growing up in Hollywood when the stars still walked the streets. It has changed a lot and I never go there anymore

I remember when rifle racks were a common site , how long would that last now ?

 

[otis33]

Concert tickets were 12.00

 

[The OrigF/clred]

I'm pretty sure they still make em,they were great at the saturday matinee movies! They made another one called a Black Cow,it was a Slo-poke covered in CHOCOLATE. We have a cool penny candy store that has all the old candies......but they ain't a penny anymore. A Maryjane costs a nickle! I always liked those little wax bottles with the syrupy stuff in em. Still love Necco Wafers too. "In those days,nickles had bumblebees on em,and we all wore an onion hanging from our belt.".........Grandpa Simpson

I remember complaining bitterly about having to pay ten bucks to see Charlie Daniels, J. Geils, ZZ Top I believe Headlined By the Rolling Stones. July 4th 1975. Good Times. Last summer without her being preggiers or with a kid. Last time we dropped acid.

one advertising ditty that bugged the crap out of me (for some reason couldn't get it out of my head for hours everytime i heard it - for Brylcream hair cream (for men) - "a little dab'll do you, lasts all day".

And that ad was particularly well placed on the "77 Sunset Strip" TV show w/ Efraim Zimbalist Jr and Cookie (remember the ditty for the show? "Oh Cookie, Cookie, lend me your comb" - Cookie, played by troy donahue who had zero acting talent but did have a great for tv signature move of whipping out his comb and running it thru his pompadeau

and speaking of tv shows, i remember "Spanky and the gang" with alfalfa, then "Paladin: Have Gun will travel"

oh ya, those were the days
then going to US Navy Comm school in San diego, 18 yrs old, going downtown for the first time off base, only to see two cross dressing future transvestites get into a bitch slap fight right in front of me at a corner waiting to cross the street.These two were dressed to the nines in designer gowns, high heels, hats, purses etc, looking like they stepped out of an issue of La Vogue magazine and these guys were clawing at each other, swinging their purses trying to do serious harm to each other.

I didn't leave base without a good buddy with me, for six weeks after that - before that day i'd only heard about "queers" and such, having grown up in a small town - this was 1969 and the alternate life styles & sexual preferences weren't in vogue as they are today

oh yeah, those were the days

I remember being taught to respect your alders, and to give up your seat on public transport to a female lol, don't see that much anymore.
