Ok, one more post and then I'm leaving. I just noticed that my last post to you and Dasher was 1966, the year I was born. Kind of freaky.

Yeah! We made it to the 70's!!!

Geez. This thread is still going on? Pissant, is it a record?

Did any mention to backgammon get made as a 1970s thing?

We'll keep blathering about nothing and see if we can't make it through the 80's, too!

"...and find something to wear to a party tomorrow night. . ."

A "little black dress" and pearls should do it! Can't go wrong there!

This may not look like 70's news, but when this wardrobe malfunction took place all I could say was

"Oohhh Penny, how could you." My Good Times memories were ruined forever.

I can only imagine the disappointment Florida Evans must have felt.

"A most unusual car..."

Yeah...a ladder-frame midsize with a small-block pushrod V-8 and rear-wheel drive. Out of Detroit.

Wheeeee, somebody catch me, I'm growing faint with wonder! To be fair to the ad, it is from the place I'd expect.

Poor child. At least the baby will be able to wear his toddler pants well into his adult life.
