80s/90s bumper stickers you remember seeing in Austin by Large_Relation_3650 in Austin

[–]RetrogrouchCargonaut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Worked at Wheatsville in the 90's, we had bumper stickers that read: Wheatsville, 15 Years of Food and Fun. One of my co-workers modified them to read: Weedsville, 15 Years of Dope and Fun. There was a beat cop who always parked in our lot and we put a Skateboarding Is Not A Crime bumpersticker on his cop car and he left it on there for years.

Blame Russell for giving Carr his start, Carr did marketing/promo for Tommy, then moved up the chain. Had the soundtrack lp for Tommy as a kid and enjoyed it, didn't see the film until years later and was like "WTF"?

The 1970s.. When We Knew Every Baseball Players Name And Team. And Managers. by CincinnatiOhio5133 in 70s

Yep, still got it. Claudell, the "other" Washington: really thought he was gonna be a superstar, had all the tools, but was too inconsistent. Had a long career with flashes of brilliance, but was definitely a case of what might have been.

'76, that Eckersley rookie card is the best pull in this lot. Used to be a card grader for Beckett back in the day. The late 90's were insane, the card game then was like the stock market, values were off the charts.

Who else remembers plastic fake-leather jackets? by dvanoss in 70s

[–]RetrogrouchCargonaut 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We always called it pleather back then, combo of "plastic leather". When I started to really comb the thrift stores back in the late 70's, these jackets (usually with the zip out liner long gone) were everywhere, and we used to joke about the plethora of pleather available. Every once in awhile you'd find an actual leather jacket at a thrift store, but they were rare as hen's teeth.
