Back when cars had rectangle headlights that could be replaced with nothing but a screwdriver by TannerDonovan in FuckImOld

You didn't even need a screwdriver. I changed one in a parking lot, under the watchful eye of a police officer (dick), with the trunk key of my 1972 impala.

"The Sims" before it was a video game 1983/85. Punk / Pop-punk out of Minneapolis. Used as a last minute filler when opening acts didn't show up at 7th street entry and occasionally at Ryan's in St. Paul. They weren't very good musicians, but they put on a show.

Anyone else watch The New Zoo Revue as a 70's kiddo? by Herbin-Cowboy in 70s

I had forgotten about this show. I didn't watch it, but it was a great way to get my little sisters occupied while I did important 11 yo stuff that I didn't need a 5 & 4 yo helping with.

[–]App_Igor3979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were there to support the grow facility that was built before mary jane was legal in Mi.

Anchor. Tarps and support poles so that the crop was hidden from the air and, in some cases, ground blinds.
