The Brady Boomers - The 'Tween Generation - Thread 2

[WIMom]

---

Most who were born at the tail end of the baby boom

- 1956 to 1964 or the beginning of GenX - 1965 to 1970 -

feel we are not part of those generations.

Therefore, it has been decided, we will be forever know as

THE BRADY BOOMERS

---

1. We were too young to serve in Vietnam, but remember the news.

2. As far as we're concerned, the music, television and popular entertainment and heroes of the 60s were and still are a matter for personal taste, and don't represent the shining apex of all civilization, icons to be revered by generations to come - in short, the Beatles were just a band that some might not like, and old Trek was cheesy and not well written.

3. Old boomers came into adulthood at while we were playing with Barbies or G.I. Joes.

4. Our clothes and music tended to be lighthearted, and we are more conservative/libertarian as a whole than the older boomers.

5. And of course, we faithfully watched The Brady Bunch every Friday night.

The Brady Boomer Threads

[Roebucks]

I'll admit it, I was hot for Mrs. Brady. (12 yr old runt that I was...). Worked for Greg. ;o)

[lowbridge]

Aside from the appearance of Joe Namath, what other Football figure made a cameo in the Brady series? How much reward did the Brady kids get for returning a lost wallet containing over 1100 dollars? How much salary did Sam offer Greg to work as his delivery boy? What was the minimum wage then in real life? What did Greg plan on doing with the money he earned in that episode? Who was Marcia's first love and what was his hobby? What was the name of Jan's real and imaginary boyfriend? How much reward did Peter get from the newspaper for saving a girls life?

[Roebucks]

Hey oph,

Go to any football games for $5 beer tonight? Any ex's hanging around? ;) I had to ask...

I was born in 56, how 'bout you?

[WIMom]

I can't answer those questions, wouldn't be fair to the others.

In other words, I have no clue!

[WIMom]

Could be! I think you started a monster!

[Diddle E. Squat]

Anyone else notice that the interior architecture didn't match the exterior shots? Start with that stupid colored-glass window above the door to his study(in the picture with the staircase).

[Roebucks]

OMG, please let me know. I don't want to be too broad. In fact, I'm not a broad at all.

But, if you're kicking out 1956, then I'll leave with dignity, grace and a virtual chip on my shoulder. LMAO.

[WIMom]

Carol didn't have a job, either. What did that woman do? At least June Cleaver vacuumed wearing a dress and pearls. LOL!

[soccermom]

BLASPHEMY!!!

[WIMom]

We can stretch the age requirements for the old coots out there. hehehehe

[Roebucks]

Well, at my age at least I can still hold the flashlight. Marsha, is that you? Damn girl, you're looking good. Now what did I do with those contacts? ;)

[WIMom]

So, you were in on it when the aliens were in the back yard. Ah ha!
