Old-fashioned things you'd like to see revived

I’d always heard exactly this about Mack, and I had also always thought that that was the rule (that managers needed to be in uniform to enter the field of play); I was surprised to find the link that I did, earlier today.

I don’t know if the rule was different decades ago, or if that web article (despite being on MLB.com) is inaccurate.

Looks like Connie has been at Broad Street and Pattison Avenue since 1971.

Another statue was of Philadelphia Athletics icon Connie Mack. That statue was also refurbished by the Phillies and was placed on the west side of Citizens Bank Park. That statue originally stood across the street from Connie Mack Stadium, and it was relocated to Broad Street and Pattison Avenue by the Phillies in 1971.

Party in the back? lol

It would probably have a better chance as a healthy and unremarkable social phenomenon if it were normalized to be acceptable for both/all sexes. The most toxic aspect of traditional sex work, and the main reason it was socially tolerated, was its distorted view of gender relations and sexuality. Men were expected to have sexual desires that they could satisfy extramaritally, and women were expected not to.

Rejecting that double standard is probably the first step toward gaining open acceptance and respect, rather than just don’t-ask-don’t-tell sexist toleration, for sex work. In other words, if you want a better working environment for Fanny Hill, support Magic Mike.

Yes of course. In my hypothetical American Utopia where sex work is legal and normalized, the same is true for both men and women (workers and customers).

Trams, interurbans, and trains everywhere. Proper dining cars on intercity trains. Also mandatory home ec in middle and high school.

I’m not a lady, but nice. It’s sexy when a man are comfortable in his own skin.

Well full disclosure…that’s not really me. I wish. I’m a bit longer in the tooth than he is.

Duels between politicians.

Polytheistic religions.

Use of the term “shell shock”.

The speaking filibuster.

Fins on cars.

Saturday morning cartoons.

As noted earlier, MEtv has 3 hours of cartoons Saturday mornings, check your local listings.

Just going to repeat what I said in that thread :

You can probably just take it in after a few hours, once it’s dry. Six months seems like overkill.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I needed that!

Ha ha

Still have 2 dairies that make deliveries where I live. I don’t know if they make any money doing it, their prices are twice the grocery store prices. I tried one for a while till they start tacking on a surcharge if the bottle were not returned clean enough.

Something like these?:

Yes, but not so modern.

I did that with a Ford in-dash AM/FM 8-track I bought at a yard sale. I used a WII power supply for the 12V source.

If it makes you feel better, hockey coaches still wear suits and ties.

No. Halloween was never really or exclusively for kids. It’s ours too and your kids can’t have it.

Where were those, ever? My memory goes back to the 50’s and I don’t remember any place like that (I grew up in a moderately-sized US city). Maybe in Europe, definitely (still) in Japan. Not in the US.

There is a YouTube channel called “Not Just Bikes” that talks about those kinds of places as good to have, but virtually absent. I don’t get the sense that the host is talking about something that ever existed in US cities in the past.
