Let me tell you about the good ole days,

Stop ! Stop I say ! You're killin' me ! :shocked:
That's really is depressing, isn't it ?


Doing Donuts in my all stock pale green '69 Pontiac Firebird 400 cu. in.

Each and every date (high school) that I would go out on and we didn't have to fuck to have fun and love life, as well as the dates that I did have sex, were both equally memorable.

My pal's 69 Chevelle SS 396 with a Bored out 454 to 502 c.i.d. est 450 - 500 horseys, Dark Metallic Green - Black factory trim & stripes, no vinyl top, 4 speed M 22 Tranny, the obligatory 4:11s or were they 3:73s (?), a Single 850 Holleycarb . . . yea what else would you like to know ?

Will E Worm

Conspiracy...
Bad part is my son won the school wide spelling bee a week ago lol.and he is only in the fifth grade, proud proud, but when i look back at when i was his age i had at least 10-12 yards. mowing that i kept up with per week. heck my son has no clue how to start a mower, but when it comes to the internet. he shows me how to work it.arrgg lol

hell he is a straight A student, High Honors to say the least, He loves school, didnt get it from me thats for sure lol

So, he does read then.

Teach him how to use a lawnmower. ;)
 
I dont know if im in a single boat here but this child of mine refuses to want to learn anything that requires real work,anyone else in this boat"? Its not like i dont try and teach him some hard work. we go out and get firewood in each year and its like trying to pull teeth with this kid. eventually he will buy into it but i was ride him pretty hard. but once we are done and i say ok you can get on the net now, hell he blazes a trail from outside to inside lol
 

Facetious

Moderated
^ For every hour that he's on the dope (computer) he should have to match it with equal time on his readin' writin' 'rithmetic or outdoor physical activity, otherwise he's going to be a lazy pudgy lush and never grow up. YOU have to instill the courage within yourself to be "the dick" sometimes. Nobody said that it was easy being a good parent.
You won't teach him to respect you if he always gets his way.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BE YOUR CHILD'S FRIEND !
They'll thank you later

:2 cents: :hatsoff:
 
Born in '87 but...

Remember when MTV actually had M (music)?
Remember when there were sitcoms on T.V.?
Remember NBA on NBC?
Remember pogs?
Remember buying CDs?

P.S. - Great thread OP:thumbsup:
 
Back in the days when a car had a carburator. not fuel injected, had to let it sit and warm up before you took off for the day. anymore old time umm stories or experiences?
cigarettes{15 cents a pack} gas{10 cents a gallon} ride a bus all over chicago{5 cents}
 
When they actually used to whip your ass in school, Had a science teacher that everyone feared, you couldnt sit down when he was done with you. I think that was a big downfall when they took punishment out of schools, just my opinion

How about playing baseball or basketball all day outside instead of kids (and adults) glued to fucking WII's!
 
How about funerals with the deceased in caskets, people visiting and viewing for closure, instead of cremations and scattering your ashes in the ocean.

What the fuck are all those numbers? My first car was a... err.. ::gives it some thought:: A blue.. chevy.. something. It had fuel injection and 4 cylinders. I'm not entirely sure but.. it sucked tons.. upon tons.. of ass. Sort of like a go kart posing as a car.
 
in the good old days there was no AIDS and chicks were easy

I remember now...God how I envy you the experience. My all time favorite hot car...Firebird 400ci.
My bud had a SS 396 after acing his driveshaft doing wheelies in his Olds 442...I had the use of my mom's '59 Chevy station wagon. The one with the wings...:rofl:
I can remember the shock I felt when the family went to a friend's house to see the newest thing in TV...a COLOR TV! We watched Disney, then...Bonanza...I was stunned; Little Joe's horse was a brown pinto! I had no idea it wasn't black and white...
Now, of course, I critique HD sets for people, and am a bit blaise about DVD if if isn't BluRay.
I saw Milton Berle on Live TV; Jack Parr's last show; and filmed the Moon landing with my Dad on a 8 mm movie camera.
I keep it all in perspective...got DVDs of the Cisco Kid, Annie Oakley, Red Skelton...just to keep in touch.

Shit back when I was a kid the adults said the same thing except they bitched about kids being glued to the fucking televisions. Going way back they probably said the same thing about radios.

Which era are you talking about?

The further back you go the less easy they were.
Also, the pregnant teens were shipped off and away. ;)

Easy isn't a criteria...involved is.
The easier a thing is, the quicker we are done with it and move on to something else...the more things we do in a given time the less we grasp the activity, and the more overwhelming the amount of things we are uninvolved in. I'd had fun playing hours of kickball with the whole block's kid population, til dinnertime killed the game.
Now, there are so many activities available, most kids never see any, or a very few, of the other kids on the same block in any specific time period.
Tired from hours on online or tv gaming is a different kind of tired; running and yelling for hours is a guarantee of a good night's sleep.
And having sex occurs before the pregnancy, so girls being easy isn't connected to where they went if they got preggers.
Anyway, fear of STDs or pregnancy have affected a lot of casual sex; anyone with half a brain is careful who they do it with before vetting the said new meat.
 
Watching TV and having to get up to lowering or increasing the volume or to change channels by rotating the dial clockwise or counterclockwise to another channel.

Rotary wheel phones....

Going to the arcade because those games were better than what you could play at home with the atari 2600.
 
My first computer for playing games: a Commodore 64.
I liked to play sportgames, but the 100m or the longjump playing with an old joystick....yack!

I think that was my first "handjob".:rolleyes:
