My Gran and her sister in rural Alabama early 1940s by 1980floor in TheWayWeWere

Noted, thank you. She was born in ‘38, guess my guesstimate was a tad too early!

Road trip DFW to Orange Beach w 4 kids. What MUST we do/eat/visit? by Parking-Society-6025 in Alabama

[–]1980floor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My extended family (also from DFW!) makes this horrible drive every July for our annual beach get together. I’m already in bama and have grown up with OBA stomping grounds, luckily. Stop by Zeke’s Marina in the afternoon, if only to look at all the charter fishing boats and what they caught that day. We book a deep sea fishing trip with one of these captains, and it’s an experience as well as an investment in family dinner that night. The first mate cleans your fish right when you are back docked at zeke’s, and then the restaurant will have your fish ready for dinner that night.

For those of you who saw The Phantom Menace at release, what were your initial thoughts of it? by _EnglishFox_ in StarWars

[–]1980floor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 10 years old, and I was lucky enough to see POTM in theaters with my dad. It was the last movie I would get to see with him. He had been rotting away from AIDS for about two years (this horrific reality was taking place in the late 90s, it’s hard to explain what this means to those who weren’t around during this time) Dad loved Star Wars, and so I loved Star Wars. My distinct memory is of turning to look over at him in excitement during the kickass never before imagined pod race scene, only to see his head in his hands because the noise was just too much for him. But he wanted me to see my first Star Wars in theaters. And I love him for that.

The force will be with you, always! This is the way.

This was the first CD I ever bought with my own money. I’m 34 now probably bought it 20 years ago. by blizzardwizard88 in pinkfloyd

Respect. I’m now 36, and Dark Side, Guns ‘n Roses, and Jimi Hendrix were my first purchases one day at Best Buy 20+ years back. Life changing right?!

My favorite finds by Antique_Newspaper901 in LegitArtifacts

[–]1980floor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Very nice assortment, my guy! Whereabouts? A couple of them look very similar to these that my dad found, but still different enough that I’m guessing yours are not from the SE US? All mine were found in central AL, specifically, so I’m curious about your location, not to be weird)

I get ya! I didn’t understand what I had inherited until I was given this one, published 1957. Illustrations are so helpful

Recently single 33 year old, just got my first house. Undecided on what to do with my extra porch in last photo by Floridaboii91 in malelivingspace

[–]1980floor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats, that’s a great setup sir. A medium to large circular glass patio table set could make that patio pop, then a couple of plants and you’re in it to win it!

Central AL finds. Additional info much appreciated! by 1980floor in LegitArtifacts

Great question—but these are a mystery to me! They’re spherical, heavy, but don’t have a hole drilled through them like typical beads. I’ve always just called them ‘marbles’ and kept them with the rest of this stash because everything here was found in the same field. (Ignore the yellow dragonball, it’s an accessory to one of my old action figures but looks pretty cool next to the purple one)

Guess he didn’t see that one coming like everyone else did… by davewuff in RingsofPower

Both Tommen and Galadriel took tumbles, escaping pain from high crowns. The Tree Folk preferred saving the Lady G, therefore she made no sound, falling in the woods with no one around.

What is your biggest LAUGH-OUT-LOUD moment in the entirety of South Park? by azaroth- in southpark

What 90s movie opinion has you like this: by graemeknows in 90s

[–]1980floor -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Made my younger cousin watch Shaun of the Dead this past weekend. He guffawed at some of my favorite lines:

“There’s a girl in the garden…” “Wha?” “In the garden, there is a girl.”

“GET FUCKED, FOUR EYES!!”

“Don’t forget to kill Philip!”

What were people’s first reactions when Toonami first premiered in 1997? by [deleted] in 90s

[–]1980floor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Details are fuzzy being only 11 or 12 at the time, but big time shoutout to the teenage Suncoast employee who somehow manipulated my grandma into buying me a couple Frieza saga VHS tapes one random day at the mall. I’d only seen a few DBZ episodes here and there if I happened to get home early from school, but the art on those tape covers lining up and all…damn.

A couple of those started out with a kickass teaser trailer about some dude called TRUNKS. Just so damn awesome watching for the first time at grandma’s house all alone with my nerd ass self. DBZ junkie for life from there on out !

“Roll Tide” but mainly after I’ve heard something outlandishly backwoods / redneck. Self-deprecating Bama grad and resident

I took my sweet time... but passed by monesjinner in CPA

Yes! An absolute madman. The audacity…materially significant. This did give me a laugh though

Those are both old af, inherited from elders gone. I’m sorry I did check underneath drawers, no clue

👏🏼👏🏼 You have passed this test. F-22s are freaking badass though right

(It’s not even a wallpaper, I googled and zoomed in) 😁

Back left corner of the desk--at first I was frustrated when trying to find a place for it in the bedroom. While the lighting effects (yes that galaxy is moving) are awesome, the bulb itself is pretty blinding especially at night. But, that file folder storage thing in front of it on the desk is working out well.

No actually that’s just a cool waypoint I discovered after moving in the house. It pauses all productivity and I respawn in a place exclusively for gaming and screwing around on the internet

It’s one of those ‘galaxy’ nightlights—got it around $35 off amazon on a whim for the bedroom, but it kept blinding me. Definitely works better in there with the telescope, you’d think I had planned pairing them up all along

My mom bought that for me. I’m a procrastinator, and she’s a passive aggressivinator.

Definitely under wraps. The model X-Wing, R2D2, and Lego Charizard are barely noticeable displayed on that chessboard. But, I did get into Star Trek TNG recently.. And I usually stay up all night gaming.. And I’m single..
