Quoted: Yes, the primer-powered little 24-grain stuff. Speer/RCBS made some (38 cal) primer-only plastic shells & bullets too, but cleaning was a nightmare. Or do they still make those? https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-5g8vjnp7d/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/11565/16856/s562511878356124186_p2684_i2_w259__06741.1564573717.jpg?c=2 View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: .22?

Quoted: Doubling on handlebars of bikes. No helmet required. View Quote Sheee-ot, we used tor triple. 1: the peddler 2: the guy on the handlebars 3: the guy standing on the back axle nuts (way before pegs came into vogue), holding on for dear life. also "bumper sliding". It's when it snows and they haven't plowed the roads yet, hang out by a traffic light or a stop sign. when a car comes up and stops you squat down and grab the back bumper. The driver can't see you so they just go, bringing you for a slide as far as you can hang on. works good with old shoes with no tread. they slide better. |

Sometimes hanging on so long that I was afraid to let go. |

Quoted: Remembering when Skate Boards were first invented. Get a flat board about So long and about That wide, This thick, nail your old roller skates onto it......http://ar15armory.com/forums/uploads/emoticons/default_old1.gif View Quote Oh HELL yeah! I had 6 or 8 skateboards before you could order ANY hardness/width/diameter/color POLYURETHANE wheels you can imagine. Nobody around here sold decent skateboards: I had to order mine from California. One ER doctor told me he'd like to give me some $100-off emergency room coupons. |

The Indy 500 was NEVER shown on TV the same day.
You had to listen on the radio instead. Complain much about commercials breaks, do ya........One Race Day it seemed there were more commercial time than there was coverage of the race itself. |

Patriotism. Love for the country. Weirdos were on the fringes of society and not runing society. Dress codes for employees. People fleeing communist countries. People being shot or jailed for attempting to leave communist countries. Somehow, people from China can defect to the U.S. today with no problem ...almost as if China is sending them here for a purpose.
I was preschool age when the bi centennial was celebrated in 1976. I recall EVERYTHING being red, white, and blue with a '76. I just watched Smokey and the Bandit which reminded me of it (the scene when the Bandit is propositioned to make the beer run). Cups had '76 and stars/stripes. Edit to add...also remember rifle racks in the back windows of trucks. CO was red. CA could elect a R governor. PA could elect an R governor. People on drugs were seen for what they are...manipulative,desperate, and effed up in the head. Smart kids would avoid you if you were doing drugs. |
