So we killed the neighbour's dog and made moccasins.

Ohh..yeah...and I remember when I worked in an Army and Air Force Service Sation (Grease Monkey)...and the electrician came in to upgrade the gas pumps so they could charge MORE than 99.9 cents for a gallon of gas...

My wife's neighbors ate her cat. No joke.

Anyone remember sometime in between '77 & '81...conserving energy by not keeping Christmas lights on too long? That was as Lame as it gets....there were gas lines then too. He's a much better x-president than he was a president!

Carter is as much of a worthless POS now as he was then... well, maybe more now.

I remember when Jack Paar was host of the tonight show. Anyone else listen to The Shadow on AM radio? No FM yet.

remember odd / even gas days if your plate ended with a odd # you get gas on a odd # day only.

Atari 400 and 800. I had a 400.

And years before that used to watch Dark Shadows with the character Barnabas Collins.

Is that the "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts and minds of men? The shadow does!" show or a different one. If it is the same then I got the title wrong and I shall promptly quit the intrawebs.

There's a local radio station here that plays The Shadow every night after 11pm. I've been tuning in for the past 10+ years whenever I get the chance.
