| Rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated  |
Purchase 3.2 beer at the age of 18. Play a 45 record. Even know what a wire recorder is or was. Use a reel lawn mower. Take your grandfathers 30-40 Kraig to history class in high school. "Someday I hope to be half the man my bird-dog thinks I am." FBLM LGB! | |||

Good Brother Rightwire. Thank you for this thread. It has brought back a lot of memories.  "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

Replace your broken car antenna with a coat hanger wire. Use a coffee can lid as a Frisbee before there were frisbees. Cut your fingers with that coffee can lid. Drive an automatic transmission equipped car that still used a manual foot clutch when accelerating from a stop or coming to a stop. Using hand signals to indicate turns and stops. Your grandfather's personal protection pistol was a Colt Peacemaker. Making carbide powered lamps by punching a small hole in a tin can with a lid. Cars with a big metal external visor over the windshield and a glass device on the dash that would catch the image of the traffic light because you couldn't see the light because the visor blocked it. What was that glass device called? Using school desks from the previous generation that had inkwell holes. Using fountain pens. Playing cards or balloons attached to bicycle wheels to mimic a motorcycle. Spoke guns using crushed kitchen matchheads as propellent. | |||

| I believe in the principle of Due Process  |
Never heard of Fibber McGee, Molly, Amos n' Andy, The Green Hornet, Mickey Mantle, Jack Benny, Johnny Carson and wouldn't know Sal Magli from The Barber of Seville. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

I had a circular E6-B when I first took flying lessons, it fit a jacket pocket nicely. I have no idea where I lost it. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

Church keys to open beer cans Floorboard starters on cars/trucks Watching the used car "hawkers" and their fast-talking commercials, especially those with Cal Worthington Cigarette commericals on TV ____________________________________________________________ Money may not buy happiness...but it will certainly buy a better brand of misery A man should acknowledge his losses just as gracefully as he celebrates his victories Remember, in politics it's not who you know...it's what you know about who you know | |||

A 10' cord on the phone so that you could sit in the living room and talk on the kitchen phone.

In the winter, taking the old horse collar that was hung by the wood stove to the outhouse so that you had a warm seat. In the winter, hanging onto the bumper of passing cars on the poorly plowed roads. -------------------------------------------- You can't have no idea how little I care. | |||
