PS..Yup..Huge Flares ...an Afgan Coat...and My own Roger Daltry Perm....

I think you should sport that in Moab next year!

The sad part is, there is only a hand full of people that have a clue about anything in this tread!

I remember $0.14 a gallon gas.
I remember gas rationing in California! People waiting in line for hours (some running out of gas in the process) on their assigned day (license plates ending in a odd # gas on Tue. and Thur/ end in even # gas on Mon and Wen) during the "gas crisis" when gas jumped all the way up to $0.27 a gallon!

Since this is Ldubs afterhours thread, I just wanted to add a few things not relating to much. First, I recently obtained the recipe to make the famous chocolate "moonkee". The wifey got the ingredients so we could try them this last Sat. night. We made our first batch (full blender). I poured mine in a large iced tea type mug and went out to the garage to rub the VX with a little "Quick Detailer". It's been pretty hot here in Fl. so the first "moonkee" went down like a chocolate milkshake...got another one while the wife made dinner. I think she had started on her second one too. Mean while I'm back in the garage and the neighbor and his wife come over. Making a long story longer they liked the "moonkees" too. We finished off all the stuff to make them except maybe a little ice. I think the last batch was Ok except I had to substitute some brownies for the chocolate ice cream and added a little vodka to the rum. Anyway, I woke the neighbors to see if they wanted to stay for dinner. They did. My wife had fixed an old southern meal, a pot of pinto beans, cornbread, fresh onions, fresh tomato etc. Look for my next post to be in "Embarrasing Exhaust".

this thread has jarred something else loose in my skull......any of you remember some kind of stores that you took "stamps" that you accumulate from regular store purchases and you would fill in a sort of stamp book that once you had so many pages filled you could "cash" them in for certain items in the "stamp-store"???????

I was pretty young (prolly like 5-6) and I remember Mom taking me into this "stamp-store" and picking out an item that could be had for sufficient "stamps".




P.S.- Not to be confused with food stamps.

[tom4bren]

Yup, daughter still gradumacated (luckely we had the party 2 days after graduation).

Bottom line: we had a BUNCH of flavors of jello in the pantry, BUNCH of 1/2 bottles of different flavors of rum & vodka left over ... we got creative.

Our jello shots may not have been up to LBUD's chocolate monkee standard but they were strong & we had plenty of 'em.

Back on track with this thread ...

Zots.

I remember one weird childhood event that changed my life forever - I was 9:
An uninsured illegal Mexican driving a rusty Ranchero hit me whilst doing 60 mph as I was leaving the school bus. This was the pre-cursor to a bunch of childhood memories:
1st time my shoe flew 50 yards into a cottonfield.
1st time breaking my leg.
1st time seeing the top of a school bus!
Landing on pavement for the 1st time.
Blacking out for the 1st time.
Waking up from my 1st black out. My sister was dragging me out of the street while another speeding car passed the bus illegally.
1st ambulance ride.
1st surgery.
1st 50 staples.
1st CAT scan.
1st temperature of 106. Drain Bamage? ...well, if you know me...
1st spinal tap.
1st sponge bath that scalded the nurses while I was shivering.
1st catheder.
1st time seeing my innards on a screen as they filled me up with fluids, checking for leaks.
1st time spending Christmas in the hospital.
1st time I heard my dad was going to murder someone. He didn't.
1st time on crutches.
1st time I couldn't poop for a week.
1st time I had a doctor slip his finger in my arse to see why I couldn't poop for a week.
1st time home schooling.
1st time I was taken away from my friends and placed in the troubled students class with all the Mexicans who couldn't speak English.
1st time I experienced hatred and racism while being pushed off my crutches.
1st time I expressed, understood, and accepted hatred and racism inside me.

After that weirdness, a mis-spent yoot indeed...
Bitter, party of one...

You forgot one:
1st post on this thread to make me shoot soda outta my nose (OUCH) while reading it!
Thanks for sharing your pain....
Best,

Just thought I'd bring this back up since it was the "dub" who gave me the recipe. Wife just called (she's a school marm)since yesterday was her last day with the kids in school she wanted to know if I would pick up the stuff for "moonkees" tonight.

Looks as if the "Chocolat Moonkee" revolution has spread to sunny Florida...

In your first post you said "woke the neighbors"...WTH?, had they passed out after just one or two ......

Glad you're enjoying "the recipe"... (Baldwin sisters reference)
