I never got whipped with Hot Wheel track, though I had plenty of it.

Getting told to go bring back a switch was the worst. And don't bring back some twig.

Massive bush was so prevalent back then, there used to be a commonly used (semi-scientific) expression when referring to a slight distance... "just a cunt's hair"

So like if you needed to adjust the windage on your scope, or the carburetor on your small block, or the flaps on your approach...you'd say something like: "adjust it just a cunt's hair" - and somehow everybody knew exactly how much that was.

You couldn't get away from it.

Can't enjoy a meal while inhaling smoke.

Never understood people who actually smoked while eating, unless they were training for a wife who's cooking sucked.

This.  I remember going into restaurants where there was literally a low-level fog bank of cigarette smoke...and that was at breakfast time!  Ugh!  Sick.

As an asthmatic I sure don't miss the cigarette smoke. Don't miss low def TV.

Kinda liked life better before the internet was in everybody's hand, people are alot less sociable today. Didn't mind hairy beaver then or now. Life was simpler with 4 channels on the TV- NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS. People was more relaxed then, ambulance chasers have them to up tight today. What I mean in the 80's nobody cared if you rode dirt bike or quad on them as long as you didn't tear up a hay field. Today everyone bitches about law suits if you get hurt on their property and won't let you ride.

I would go back to living in/like the 80's if I could and keep modern medicine.
