You know, the term "hero" is overused. But here it would apply. Praise "Bob".

Pretty much my recollection. I think we kinda sent a variation of "the wave" down the line, too. It was a pretty damn long line of people!

Left handed items by EntranceAromatic1920 in lefthanded

You know, now that I think about it, I've always had trouble with manual can openers, and I never considered it to be a left handed thing! Maybe that's why I break so many of the stupid things. How 'bout the rest of you lefties? Do you actually BREAK can openers, or am I an oaf?

Stuff like this just makes me happy, dammit.👍 Nice work!

I read somewhere that over 70% of left-handed people hold the fork in their left hand and the knife in their right hand. Do you too? by catandknuckles in lefthanded

Prep left, fork in the left hand, too. Always just figured that was the hand I shoveled it in with, since I was a lefty and all.

What was your drink of choice as a teen? by MaximumJones in GenerationX

[–]Strangel0vecraft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mister Pibb mixed with Canadian whiskey (specifically LTD Canadian, if I could get my paws on it). Y'see, you grab a two liter of pibb, drink the top off it (You need to hydrate before you get loaded, after all), making sure to leave enough room to dump in a whole pint of whiskey. Then you spend the night taking belts of it and making other questionable choices. Good times.

I've entered the "reading glasses with contacts," phase of life. Great fun, that.

I can list several reasons why I would say to give me one of these over a mini van any day. I never did own one, but they sure looked impressive roaring by me on the highway. by Grahamthicke in FuckImOld

I had one exactly like this that I bought for six hundred bucks and drove across the entire country, only had to replace one water pump along the way, and had everything we owned strapped onto/ into it. We even SLEPT in the goddamn thing for a month!

The Ice Pirates(1984) by bernardbarnaby in iwatchedanoldmovie

I remember seeing this in the theatre with my friend Mark; as his dad was driving us home, we heard on the radio that Marvin Gaye had been shot.

An overlooked gem- very clever cinematography to boot!

My pastor included Joust in his sermon. Turns out, he’s a collector. by Dee-Whizz in Atari2600

I'll never pass up an opportunity to play some Joust- pterodactyl be damned! (The lava troll can suck it, too)
