    When a real good looking woman or girl walks by and your jeans/trousers don't even move. No embarrassing action going on at all.

    And you now realize that you are in that camp that says , " If I were only 30 years younger..."

    #1752 3 years ago

    An above post mentions Novak. And you think of the bombshell Kim.

    #1753 3 years ago

    Vintage hottie of the month..Kim Novak

    When you throw peas and carrots at your buddy's wheelchair and miss by a mile

    Or thinking she'd make a great baby sitter.

    That super “ I don’t give a shit what anybody thinks”.

    If I'm going to the red lobster i sharpie the tape with black.

    #1759 3 years ago

    Photo shows very small traces of last red lobster visit. Been a while since the Red Lobster.

    .....when it becomes totally obvious why staircases have banisters, and you use them.

    #1761 3 years ago

    Haha. When you call them bannisters.

    #1762 3 years ago
    Quoted from Jjsmooth:

    Haha. When you call them bannisters.

    I did look up the proper spelling before hitting "send".

    #1764 3 years ago

    When you know that a Davenport is a sofa bed in today’s parlance.

    #1765 3 years ago

    Yep
    My gramps had a Davenport and a vestibule too.
    I would say "Ya mean the hallway?"
    and he would say "No, the vestibule!"

    #1766 3 years ago

    You remember hearing the word "lavatory" in reference to the rest room.

    #1767 3 years ago
    Quoted from rollitover:

    My gramps had a Davenport and a vestibule too.

    That is too funny. My grandma's Davenport was in the sun porch which was off the vestibule. Not a sunroom...a sun porch.

    When men and women dressed to the nines to attend a Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Game at the long gone shrine on Carlton where I worked as a kid.

    #1769 3 years ago

    I worked the wooden custom built souvenir stand with my uncle who owned the stand. A wonderful wooden hexagon beauty. The games , concerts and memories.

    And the fights were always "gentlemanly".

    Shit, man, my first airplane flight was in 1970. Everybody on the plane was wearing a jacket and tie. Same thing for going out to eat. Going out to eat was a big deal.

    Now everybody wears flip flops and thongs

    #1774 3 years ago

    Was watching a few episodes of the hilarious house of frightenstein, dracula to igor: "i must invent something that puts you asleep" igor: a phone call from your mother should do it master. The witch cooks something that makes her stoned!
    Cameos by Vincent price. What a hidden gem of a comedy thats mE laugh harder watching it all these years later.

    Funny how things change. PBR and Schlitz Tallboys were the popular beers, while Whiskey sours and Tom Collins ruled my parents bar. Now it's craft beer and sex on the beach or slippery nipples in the bars.

    #1776 3 years ago
    Quoted from RWH:

    Funny how things change.... sex on the beach or slippery nipples in the bars.

    Some things never change...I recall back in about 19 and 70 trying a slippery nipple.

    Quoted from cottonm4:

    Are you blaming your pinball skills on your age? Surely not

    of course not, just kidding about the situation

    #1781 3 years ago

    Had the croup so I rubbed on some Musterol
    Couldn't go so took some Black Draught and Cola Syrup
    Went too much so hit up some Paregoric and lemon
    Brushed with Tooth Powder and gargled with hydrogen peroxide.
    Slapped on some Burly aftershave after a close shave with the Injector.
    Finished up with Lilac Vegetal
    Put on my new Double Knit suit with Argyle socks and Nettleton tassel loafers.
    Chicks will love the Highwaters ! Ready to go.

    No lie
    Being in a big hurry I quickly jumped into my truck and sat on my right nut.

    Old man saggy nut syndrome ....

    Excruciating pain followed by the realization that I’m old.

    I don’t know if this has been mentioned yet, I’m to lazy to look for my spare readers that I dropped somewhere in the cracks of the couch

    Ball adjustment is critical in golf and in life.

    Your willing to go through a filthy barn to grab a game. Paid 30 bucks and spent the day fixing and cleaning.
    Cool retro game!

    No Lie -- my shopping basket from Wal-Mart the other day:

    Pair of new reading glasses.
    Case of Strawberry Boost (High Protein)
    Bottle of Prevagen (supposed to help with memory).

    Hopefully I can remember to start taking the memory pills!

    #1787 3 years ago

    They say that the mind is the second thing to go. I forget what the first thing is.

    #1792 3 years ago

    There a granny and the gators pinball available at the barn. Still time but she's not pretty

    ...Or has been married for several years and is soon to give birth to a child of her own. Tempus Fugit!

    #1794 3 years ago

    ...you get rattled by a bikini clad new neighbor and park your boat in the wrong slip. I did that and very ashamed/embarrassed when I had to back up and re park.

    #1795 3 years ago

    2 major strikes against me already
    Totally embarrassing myself
    Wedding pictures at the mall

    I need a neighbor like that.

    #1799 3 years ago

    Parking your boat in the wrong slip is not good. In front of everyone. I was not paying attention damit
