Was there stuff between the 60s and the 80s? A lot of us never even noticed.
Gotta go, I’m going to type out a response to a comment in a Straight Dope book, mail it to the publisher, and then wait til the next edition is printed… and then see if anyone responds to my comment in the edition after that.
(How am I going to wait two years to see if someone got my “Hi, Opel” joke?)
Ooooh…ahhh…fashion!
Hi,Opel?:dubious:
From Austin Powers II (before jumping to the time machine):
Can it be done right-left right-left, or will that result in walking backward?
Only if you’re a right wing conservative.
No, but if you enter the code as right, left, right, left, up, down, up, down, A, B. You get 30 godwins against right wingers in the message board.
I know some people who walk left - together - right - together, but I think it’s because they’re kind of old.
Or in a wedding.
We can talk the talk, but can we walk the walk?
woo hoo!
But Skipping is magnificent!
Well, that’s mainly because we’ve been deprived of YOUR witty and valuable contributions for all these years.
You know what I miss? Binaca. That stuff used to be everywhere!
The OP joined 15 years after the 80’s ended. It took an additional 11 years to decide he likes books better. I don’t think I’ll be around by the time he formulates and posts his opinions on Bill Clinton.
Right forepaw/left hindpaw, left forepaw/right hindpaw, right forepaw/left hindpaw …
Unless you’re a weasel: right forepaw/left forepaw, right hindpaw/left hindpaw, right forepaw/left forepaw …
Or a giraffe: right forepaw/right hindpaw, left forepaw/left hindpaw, right forepaw/right hindpaw …
And my favorite, a horse at gallop: right forehoof, left hindhoof, left forehoof, right hindhoof … fly … right forehoof, left hindhoof, left forehoof, right hindhoof … fly … right forehoof, left hindhoof, left forehoof, right hindhoof … fly …
So, DO horses ever leave the ground like this?
Cream Rinse. Whatever happened to that stuff? Oh and Brioski. Went looking for that on Amazon the other day. They don’t make it anymore.
Chocodiles.
Only sold on the West Coast, to ensure freshness?! Um, it’s a Chocodile.
“There has been debate over whether a Chocodile is a chocolate-covered Twinkie or a facsimile.”
No internet?
How would we complain about mundane shit to strangers? The mail?
Semaphores.
