Finally retired the 1979 Cad Eldo Biarritz in 2000 (still running!).

[pissant]

That's a set of Hot wheels. We'll put that in the good column!

Paul Lynde could get me laughing, anytime. Dittos: Dom deLuise. Johnathan Winters. Harvey Korman.

[NRA1995]

C.W. McCall HAD a discography beyond "Convoy?" Must confess, I enjoyed Jackie Gleason in the first "Smokey & The Bandit", but my favorite 70's movie is "The Sting", no question.

[colorcountry]

My first "car"

[TChris]

Worst- Leisure suits

Best- ABBA

Agreed! I think ABBA is one of the most under-appreciated musical forces in the past 50 years. They get lumped in with Disco as a group, which they are far above, IMO.

[TheBigB]

Josie was hot.

(bonus question: what was Josie's last name?)

[Hoodlum91]

The best tagline? OK, now I'M blushing.

And to think, I was trying to come up with a new one.

[pissant]

Yes. I do value my life! ;o)

You sure picked a good thread topic, missy!

[NRA1995]

Saw several topless photos of her back then....

[conservativebabe]

I got my first car in 1985- a 1977 Monte Carlo. It was still mint, with a V8 and some serious b@lls.

[lonestar]

I (hic) loved Foster (hic) Brooks.

[Army Air Corps]

Don't forget the Gremlin. Blech!

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

LOL I do some of my best work against my will.

[Alia]

HAH! Books like:

Coffee, Tea, or Me
Valley of the Dolls
The story of "O"... erm... the flicks like.... uh.. "Deep throat"?

Best of the 1970s? That would be me, dog gone it.

Check it. I was born in December of 1971. I won "Pimp of the Year" in June of '72. When I gave my acceptance speech, my main honey had to change my diaper while I was on the podium.

My mom even had my platform baby shoes bronzed because of it.

Ya heard? ;-)
