And a lot of people who like watching football players tongue each other are gay. Are you gay?

 

 

 

We went down there six to a Jeep, and had barely enough money for gas to return. We figured we would skip eating and drive as far back to Rochester as we could with what we had. Somewhere in S. Carolina (I think...maybe N. Carolina) we passed a car that looked to be on fire. We pulled over to see if help was needed, and an old couple was watching their engine smoking pretty badly. We had a CB, got on the radio, and within minutes an 18-wheeler pulled off, got his fire extinguisher and called for police. He left, police showed up, and the couple gave us $100 for stopping. I can still remember the slice of key lime pie I got when we pulled off the next exit.

 

That's awesome. $100 went a long way back in the dinosaur age when we were in Lauderdale.....kids today would B word they have the middle seat on the plane

It is all about spendinig the coin! Disposable income!

 

On Saturday, my 15 year old son and a group of friends caught the train and headed to the beach (North Ave.) in Chicago... It is about 35 miles from the station to the Chicago Loop. Guess how far 60 dollars gets you now? :lol: I mean, between train ticket, cab ride was only 9 bucks split 3-4 ways (don't even get me started on the cab thing... Coulda took a bus) and whatever (lunch, etc...)...

Sportscenter is running a piece about the 10 cent Beer Nights during Cleveland Indians games in the 70s. They said a $1 could get you a cheap seat in the bleachers for 50 cents and 5 beers. Its crazy how different things are nowadays

That and stuff like Disco Demolition Night. LoL

 

It is all fine and dandy to have cheap alcohol... BUT part of the reason that's its good prices are steep is to stop the stupidness that would certainly tag-a-long w/cheap booze.

 

Yeah... Yet, if Google makes good on its vehicles, drunk driving will be a thing of the past... The can lower booze prices again. ;-) ;-)
