"Oh plez...you could have been off bashing Bucanan over his stance that the border should be closed like was all the rage on here a few years back."

I'm just embarrased at being so friggin' old.

[TigersEye]

I am officially embarrased by my participation in this thread.

the poodle bites, the poodle chews it

Your fate is sealed.

OIC. Are you saying your remember why they were called record stores?

[VR-21]

"the poodle bites, the poodle chews it"

C'mon Frenchy...dammit you guys!

[Haddit]

I had dog doo doo in my right eye, I had dog doo doo in my left eye, and I exclaimed...I can’t see.

The guy was twisted but he was great.

[TigersEye]

Ah, the days before Chinese dog food. Not a speck of cereal!

>I’m just embarrased at being so friggin’ old.<

Tell me about it. I was the only student taking my college final equipped with a calculator that I got for free in the mail from the AARP. LOL!

[Haddit]

You had calculators? Came after my time.

I wrapped some newspaper ‘round my head so I looked like I was deep....
I said some mumbo jumbo then, I told him he was goin’ to sleep.
I robbed his rings, and pocket watch, and as long as he was hangin’ around, I said, “The price of beef has just gone up and your old lady has just gone down...”

"OIC. Are you saying your remember why they were called record stores?"

I certainly remember calling them that, but I can't say I really knew why. The term was pretty interchangable with "album store."

I took my final yesterday.

What I’m saying is I’m the oldest person in my class.

I’m a very late bloomer.

The first time around, accounting was still manual.

Thank goodness for computers!

[VR-21]

You know you could make more money as a butcher. So don’t you waste your time on me.

“and knock the little jockeys off the rich people’s lawn!”

[Richard Kimball]

Weird that you posted that picture of Freewheelin’ Franklin. When you posted the picture of Mr. Natural, I started thinking about the underground comix and checked to see what had happened to Gilbert Shelton. From what I could see of his recent work, he’s still stoned.

This may be a good place to revisit this old thread:

Zappa Fest Descends on German Town

We need a Frank Zappa aficionados ping list!

[VR-21]

Ouch! I remember when I was in the Navy (in VR-21) pocket calculators were quite new and we marveled at them. In high school we actually used slide rules. Old Old Old Old Old !

[Califreak]

My husband used a slide rule in high school.
