“Never divorced politicians.”

Carter sucked bigtime. So did Ford and Nixon.

“Democrats who cared about America.”

They never did. Never.

Why oh why has no one remembered School House Rock on Saturday mornings between cartoons when educating a child with good stuff still mattered?!

You mean like this one?

I remember being at the bus stop and some kid was passing out Jimmy Carter stickers. Now the DOE and DOJ run the schools and they just program the kids directly.

I still own a late 1800s set of encyclopedias and a 1903 set of Americana encyclopedias.

I also used to sell encyclopedias door to door in Texas, Kansas, and Missouri, I also had up to a dozen employees although the turn over was constant except for the rare person who could handle it.

It's a required part of any true Gator fan's wardrobe.

Yes, and can you believe Vegas and pintos in very good condition can bring upwards of five figures? The thing is most pintos and Vegas rusted out before 1980. But there’s a few that are still out there parked in grandma’s garage for the last 45 years, I guess.

Jenner didn’t surprise me as he already had the lesbian haircut even in the 70s.

Jenner’s first movie, “Can’t Stop the Music” was so gay that it even embarrassed the “Village People,” who were in it. Since it was such a big budget production the crew had to hire plenty of straight people. They called the film “Can’t Stop the Homos.”

DING. NIce one Gator. I think that this still sums up the late 1970s TeeVee.

My dad fixed a Pinto up for my mom.

It gets driven once in a while.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hal Lindsay tells of pushing his ninety-year-old father in his wheelchair in the mall when they passed a gorgeous young lady.

Hal said, "Must be nice to finally reach the age when that doesn't bother you."

His dad replied, "Must be."

Is this a setup for a 'mom joke?'

Actually the car belonged to a friend of my mother’s and for some reason had to have it.

Some parts were nearly impossible to get.
