The Official Friday Silliness Thread Salutes the 1970's (All Skate)

Dig it: The 1970's are calling...pick up the phone and groove on the memories. When was the last time the Democrats ran the House and the Senate? When was the last time the Conservatives wondered what became of the GOP? When was the last time people craved an "energy policy"? When was the last time the word TAXATION was used in the same sentence as inevitable? When was the last time people considered Ford and Carter as Presidents? When was the last time Iran seriously threatened the USA? When was the last time AM radio ruled the airwaves? When was the last time music was as purposely bad as today? Dynamite! You remember the last time was the 1970s.

Trip out and go back in time to AM radio, a pick in your afro, corn rows platform shoes, bell bottoms, silk shirts, short shorts, large neck chains, mood rings, disco music, rollerskating mania, teen idols, Farrah Fawsett, the Brady Bunch, the misery index, high inflation, price controls, SALT, Annie Hall, and invention of the personal computer. Come join the fun--

All Skate.

I had a green ghia model with a 301 in it. I souped it up a bit and it was fast. Then a rather large jacked up pickup truck with a piano in the back ran over top of me at the beach. I'll have to see if my dad still has the insurance file with the pics of that.

I got a great bargain the other day when I bought a forklift for half-price. It's amazing what you can pick up these days.

That Italian chef is really annoying. He's making a pesto himself

When the florist was running behind in delivering the roses, he had to put the petal to the metal.

The compensation received by the Italian chef was a pretty penne.

Here's my first. Same color. Dart Swinger 340. Had the bumblebee stripe around the back.



My buddy wrecked it when he "borrowed" it.

The science teachers broke up because there was no chemistry between them.

A former doctor, while auditioning for a play, broke his leg. But luckily, he could still make the cast.
