BWAAAAHHAAAAHAAAA.....thirty minutes later, i look down & can see the hair on my arms swaying to the music

Damn, I read through all these posts and thought to myself "If I post here I'm officially resigning myself to some kind of old fogie status", but what the hell.

At least I have the satisfaction of knowing I'm just barely over the cut off for this particular forum.

The Nepalese temple balls and Panama red brought back some memories, cheers guys!

And don't be so sure about those Members Only jackets never coming back, stranger things have happened.

P.S. Sabuda, just saw your "help I'm a rock" which brought back major memories I almost forgot of being completely baked at a buddies place, listening to that album and on that song thinking "damn this records been skipping for like 10 minutes now".

Hey old grunt I remember when Hersey bar size hunk of hash in Germany was $20. that was in 69 also.

I can remember watching the first Landing on the Moon
20 cent gal gas
10 cent bottles coke
guns all over the house
fireworks, m80, m100, skyrockets everywhere
crossing into mexico without boarder searches
illegals were accepted as friends and neighbors
10,20,30,40 lids = 1finger 2finger 3finger 4finger bags of green buds
hippies shooting heroin under the pier
hippies begging for a quarter to buy some cigs
all in Huntington Beach Ca 65-70

the list goes on and on

I remember when weed was never weighed on a scale, it was measured by fingers, and i loved it cause my "dude" had fat fingers.. =)

HAH! I also remember buying 5 dollar little brown manila envelopes of weed out of a slot house.

Walk up, hand your money through a slot, out popped a $5 dollar(Nickle) bag.

I remember the first time I saw a gun on the table while buying a couple of kilos (1974)..from someone I considered a friend....guess I was wrong. Colombian @ 800 USD each.

- I remember when it was a 10 zip to cover cost, 6 zip stash equation.

- Decent Mex for $10 per zip, Jamaican was $20 (15 if you knew them well), Columbian was 25-30 USD.

- Not all cops dressed like storm troopers

- The last time I grew outside (1980)...excepting some seed spreading experiments and feeding cannabis seeds to birds.

- Ronald Reagan was considered a right wing nut case...before it was proven

Wow, some of you guys are reaching back further than I can. I am 42.

I remember my mother as a flower child.

I also saw them go through disco

I remember that when cars had 80,000 miles on them they were considered worn out.

I remember lids

I remember everybody had a orange lid tupperware rolling tray under their couch

I remember Merry Gins. (currently looking for a few of those, guys)

Cokes (sodas to non Southerners) did not come in plastic

Lone Star cases still had targets on the bottom of the cases

Kids played outside (heck, I wasnt allowed inside during the day)

Folks had pride in Made in America

I could go on and on but I wont.

One more thing, most of us remember when there were no home computers.

I remember here in Texas the police were not even allowed to question a passenger in a traffic unless he was doing something stupid.
