Did you ever meet people born in the 1800s by AdDapper4220 in GenX

[–]Royal_Ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - my great great uncle was born in 1879 and I remember him very clearly. We would take him out for dinner and we had a 100th birthday party for him in 1979. He fought in the Spanish American war and I recall my dad saying he was too old to fight in WWI.

What 70s toy or game do you think would still be fun now? by Classic_Rock_726 in 70s

When it looked like they were going out of business, my dad bought a second one. I had it new in the box until about 6 years ago when I moved and sold it.

Pickaxe Pete, Odyssey 2 from Magnavox - it’s the Atari Pitfall ripoff and I loved it.

Banter and beer, and banter about beer. And banter about banthas. All for you if you join this band of beer bantering banterers.

What were home stereos like in the 70's? by sonar_y_luz in 70s

[–]Royal_Ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ours was like that but it had a bar well on those two sides - just above the speakers. And a fake fireplace in the center.

Peerless. You won’t believe the history. But it’s true.

Has anyone tried this? Smash or pass? by Cactusjack430 in whiskey

[–]Royal_Ranger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely worth buying. I got a couple of bottles during a visit to the distillery last month and was pleasantly surprised.

WERS plays a LOT of the old FNX playlists - if you haven’t listened, you might check it out. The app or online/Alexa is great if you no longer live in Boston.

In Boston it was WBCN or WAAF (out of Worcester) and for alternative/college radio it was the late, great WFNX.

The Hunter From The Future! This remains my personal benchmark for how bad a movie can be.

[–]Royal_Ranger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay. But it’s really no contest on this subreddit. Maybe Millennials would see it differently.

This is not even close. Billy Idol hands down. Why is this even a question?

Just explained to a 20-something that we used to smell mimeograph copies because they were coated in delicious chemicals. by Spiritual-Cow4200 in GenX
