No doubt that reading the 1977-1981 run of National Lampoon as an adolescent had a profound effect on my adult model of thinking.

I can thank the '70s and P.J. O'Rourke for that.

We'll never see the likes of National Lampoon again.

Oddly enough, commie CNN rat Jeff Greenfield used to write for the 'Poon.

That brings back memories, and you are absolutely right about the Lampoon. GREAT, all time funny satire.

I've got 'em all from #1 up through about 1985. Gathering dust in the attic...

Has anybody noticed that 80s movies had a lot more sex and cussing than today's films (PG-13 or so)?

I have been shocked looking back at 80s films at how much nudity was shown and how often characters said F this and F that.

It makes today's films look conservative in comparison.
