Imagine taking a little 6 cylinder Baccaruda (my pet name for them) and making it into a fierce drag racer. It even has those "anti-flip-over-backward" things which I obviously can't remember the name of, LOL!

I never saw hood pins on a trunk lid, though. Is this another AI foul-up? In which case, that car doesn't even exist. Bummer.

Yes! Thank you. Although I don't think I need any right now.

I love that movie. Did anyone ever watch the sitcom "Wings?" There was one very funny scene in one episode where Helen was trying to make dinner for a guest (she wasn't very handy in the kitchen). Earlier in the day, she'd stopped in at the beauty salon to have her blond tips re-bleached, so she had foil things all over her head. After a particularly nasty fight with some flour and biscuit dough, the doorbell rang and she went to answer it, covered in flour, dough bits and foil all over her head. It was one of the guys, Brian, and as soon as she opened the door, he dropped to one knee, held out his hand, and said, "Klaatu Barada Nikto!" I almost peed my pants the first time I saw that, it was so unexpectedly funny.

I can't find the clip online anywhere. It's sooooo funny!

Maybe it was her blond roots. I got that wrong.

This is what i miss most not having my elderly neighbours. They didn't ask, I didn't tell. They would just walk out their doors see their porches, sidewalks and driveways clear of snow, except under their vehicles if there was one.

The mowing and trimming was harder to hide, lol.

 

[AmbereyesWolfie]

Are these Moon-Pies now?

When I was young I had one of these

Had one of what? Yeah, duh, I do not get it oh hum.

I remember putting the wrapper back in the holder and trying to trick people with an empty wrapper.

I wish you were my neighbor.

I loved those. They were called Mallo something... Mallomars, I think? I could eat a whole box in one sitting.

It was a trick pack of gum and when someone would try to get a stick of gum it would snap your finger like a weak mouse trap

Howdy Doody started in the 1940s and aired it last episode the end of September 1960. Clarabell finally spoke goodbye kids

Howard Johnson’s • 1970s

​

Had more than just its famous ice cream. Grape, ginger ale, root beer, cola and orange soda—a little taste of the soda lineup you could find back then.

Except back then, the pay phones were only a nickel, or a dime.
