I use to eat an entire package of Oreos when the munchies kicked in. Seems Bud has picked up that trait… 1973 was a great year musically, and one of the over-looked albums that year was Bachman Turner Overdrive’s first[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The Polaroid SX-70 made the 70s even more wild and crazy as “swinging” folks would exchange fun little photos of each other. Today we just text these to our friends. I haven’t done a full-on boob joke in a while[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Welcome to the offical launch of Sunday comics for 1977. In the grand tradition of print versions of Sunday comics, the first two panels are designed to be “cut out” as a “throw away” joke. Many newspapers would (will) cut[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
OH, Lynda Carter was my favorite fantasy & poster in 1977. I had this HUGE poster of her as Wonder Woman… like 4×5 feet… took up a whole wall practically. It was the conversation piece of my apartment for a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

And Jeff learns another lesson in life… lie. Okay, not all the time… only when it counts. 🙂 BTW… the Bi-Cotton Rod is what I call a generic Q-Tip. Jeff’s dad created it and is filthy rich… for those of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
What a pickle, eh? Easy on the MILF jokes, I’m not done with this story yet! 🙂 I once dated an older woman and what fun it was too! Not only was she older, but she was my BOSS! Double[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

One more time, with gusto… It was…Okay, one more than back to the 1977 time line. My kids ask me why I acted the way I did back in the day and my usual reply is “It was the 70s.”[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
