If you’re doing punk in ‘69 then Detroit would be the place not New York or L.A. since that’s where The MC5 and The Stooges were born.

Graham Kerr and Julia Child were the only TV chefs on in my area when I was a kid. All of the variety of cooking available on video these days is probably a better thing but I still get a twinge of nostalgia for those days when I see clips like those.

There is also the pending nuclear war in Kashmir that seems to have slipped through the cracks.

I really enjoy these minor league games. They’re just so much more fun than major league baseball. 

You have Dr. Syn? I loved that one. My first McGoohan. Though I see in IMDG that it was from 1963 and I wasn’t born until 1965. I must have seen it on a rerun. I know for sure that I had the book.

(which includes its many networks like Showtime, MTV, BET, Comedy Central, and Showtime)

Does the Navy still use that term? They used in when I was in during the 80s but I assumed it would eventually die out.

This brings to mind a very deep thought expressed by John Cusack’s character in The Sure Thing: “Who invented liquid soap, and why?”

Wait, wait, hold on a second here. The Jamie Kitman is writing pieces for Jalopnik? How the hell did that happen?

You have to include the Wonderful World of Color days from TV.

Nope, Larry is the lesser Hemsworth.

I’m not sure why but the phrase “all hat, no cattle” immediately sprang to mind. I’m sure that isn’t true as there will be plenty of large ranch owners that will spring for one as their take the family into town truck. They will make up 1% of the people who buy these but they’ll be there.

I think SNAFU is applicable here too.

The owner of a new Corvette might have more of their wealth in that car than the owner of a Lambo does and had more aspiration to own a Corvette than to drive one. It’s not a horrible thing, though, since that makes finding a low mileage used one trivial. 

We have a Y membership ($75 a month for the both of us) and my wife takes a class 3 times a week. At times her class is basically a personal trainer session since attendance can lag. It’s the biggest and nicest gym around too. 

Very appropriate gif, since he later goes in to a spin that perfectly mimics the working classes’ attempts at stability.  

I will admit that in the 80s I dated a woman who favored Sperry Top Siders. Of course, she also did dressage, had a trust fund and a complete ignorance of what being poor is like. Oh, and a serious drug problem. 

To be fair, the acquisition of an accounting software company is the kind of thing that would make anyone giddy.

Interstellar!

Judging by the trucks around here the drivers believe that a bumper sticker with the names Smith and Wesson on it make you tough. Now I would say the person who can survive life without a weapon is tougher but I’m a godless snowflake so what do I know.
