I think I'd better spell it out.
Rest In Peace to a true entertainer with a big heart. Thank you for being you.

I mean no disrespect for the cars I mentioned because those were the cars that actually some friends drove around with me

Ford pinto had the Mercedes emblem

Datsun b210 had the word or numbers letters of the Mercedes kind of car (which I have forgotten now this was back in 1977)

& I remember seeing a Yugo with the rolls Royce emblem

Now that was hysterical

If you eat "American Cheese," you've had "government cheese," or at least as close as you can get to it, these days. Starting about WWII, the US government processed all different types of cheese and cheese bases into a single yellow style that was dubbed "American" cheese. They did the same thing in the 1980's to help keep farming afloat, handing out the cheese as part of the Welfare program. It caught on and stuck around. Nowadays it's just made that way from the start.

To my memory I have yet to find any cheese as good as what I remember ( I have not tried all the different kinds of cheeses)

I will have to try American cheese now

And of course my taste buds could have changed

Glad you said "close" because to my memory - and having eaten both at the same time in my life - it ain't the same ... but, as you pointed out, close as you're gonna get nowadays.

Who do we petition to bring back "government cheese"?

yes

I'm so old I remember using the outhouse

Kinda hard as I know MANY folks who still do. LOL!

It's really bad though, when in 2021, public outhouses in MT were cleaner than most restaurant & rest stop bathrooms. Anywhere across the states between NC & MT.

Did anyone have one of these? I played with this thing a long time til my brother broke it to see how it worked.

Oh geez. I'm old enough to know how to make keyboard emojis.

Edit: It converted it to an actual emoji!! BYC!!!!

I remember making my own on the typewriter back in the seventies and eighties

All you had to do was turn the paper sideways

Colons and semicolons parentheses capital p and d and others

Put your code. But space it out. I mean like, leave a space between each element.
