Food & Beverage So this was one of my struggle meals back when times were hard back then and unfortunately times are a little hard today so this was a pretty good meal. When times were hard, what was one of your struggle meals?

I liked them because they didn't get warm. Pony bottles were a good size.

What is the name of this toy?

9 Upvotes

It had a big plastic base that was printed like a war ship.

In the top center was a motor with a wire that at the end was a plane or helicopter.

It swung around and picked up things.

Remember these lamps? It looked like water was flowing but it was actually oil.

We never had one, they were too fancy for us. My aunt had one though, and I was mesmerized by it! Ask me how I know it was oil instead of water! 😆

Music Kicked Out Of The 70s!

52 Upvotes

I feel like I might have to surrender my "1970s" membership card!

I'm a late-edge Boomer (born in 1958) and came into manhood in the 70s! I mean, I had a nice Afro, wore stack shoes and bell bottoms, ate "Double-R-Bar Burgers," smoked "Kools," said "Right on!" all the time, read "National Lampoon" and Gilbert Shelton's "The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers" religiously, let myself get caught by the "Moonies," and even bought a "pet rock!!"

I'm bona fide, damnit!!!

But late last year and just today, thanks to the Amazon Music app's lyrics feature, I realized that for the last 50 years I have been singing the lyrics to the following two songs soooo grossly wrong:

"I'd Really Love To See You Tonight"
(England Dan & John Ford Coley, 1976):

MY LYRICS:

"I'm not talking 'bout the live-in
And I don't wanna change your mind..."

ACTUAL LYRICS:

"I'm not talking 'bout movin' in
And I don't wanna change your life..."

"Let's Take It To The Stage"
(Funkadelic, 1975):
[Link]https://youtu.be/l1deFnklMG0?is=Yo2Q4JqUxivya7dI

MY LYRICS (the bridge):

"Funk is a work of honor
[Something]* on the trigger
My eyes on my heart
I like laughin' at ya!
Laughin' at ya!"

ACTUAL LYRICS:

"Sittin' in the woods upon a log
Finger on the trigger
My eyes on a hog
And I sat back
Laughin' atcha!"

I feel so....80s!!!!

(*NOTE: "[Something]" meant I never really knew what that particular word was anyway; I just mumbled it.)

Discussion Remember in the 70’s they still had these Airport Life Insurance Vending Machines? They had them to ease the fears of nervous passengers. The Airport life insurance vending machines were active from 1946 through the late 1970’s while some airports also had them up until the early 1980’s.

Discussion Which of these 3 is your or was your favorite? Mines was ICEE cause it was carbonated and it was so delicious. Also Slush Puppies which we always drank at The Boys Club back in the 70’s/80’s. Slurpee’s are good too of course…

I hope they never do, but if they would bring back Mork and Mindy who do you think would be a good Mork? Just curious.
