I'm so old I Remember when:

As my brother likes to remind me when seeing thunder thighs and donut rolls challenging the seams of those things walking into the local grocery, "they're a privilege, not a right."

Spandex should come with a "load limit".

Spandex should come with a "load limit".

It's a walking advertisement for how strong the stuff is.

I recall earlier in the thread someone mentioning the Blues Brothers. I just happened across this.

With all the things that have been recorded here on almost 300 pages I wonder what the next generation will think? Will they appreciate more the things the have that generations past didn't. Will they instill some history on the next generation and more to come? They can't say the posters here have not tried. I must thank all for your contributions. I've learn a lot from history here. Keep it going as long as the world turns.

The more I see of the future laid out before my grandchildren, the more I believe Ayn Rand was a prophetess.

Quick before it runs off again. I don't think this has been discussed or cussed but back in my day at lunch time we were fed what the government hat to much of on hand. Peanut butter and American cheese most often. I think there were others and must have been understanding the system now a little better. First it was just peanut butter that was kind of square and 4-5" long like a soft candy bar. I got a lot of those cause some kids just didn't know what they were and if they didn't know they wouldn't take a chance on it. Then the American cheese was served the same way. In a same sized stick. There must have been a lot of surplus canned spinach too. Even Popeye couldn't get kids to eat what we had but I cleaned up on it. Didn't even have to trade anything on my plate for it. We actually got some really good fish sticks back then too. Nothing like the crap sold as fish now. I can still see the bartering and horse trading we did to get more and better on our plates. I'd trade a carton of milk for a meat and a vegetable or even more when I could. Image businessmen by the first grade.

Government cheese made the BEST fried cheese ever. Just grate some into a hot skillet and let it melt into a big crispy wafer of goodness.

Time moves faster the older you are.

I remember the cola commercial, "I'd like to buy the world a coke" and the singers were standing in a field holding candles. When the camera panned out they were in the shape of a Christmas tree.
