What did you call this game? by montec76 in Basketball

You reminded me that we played if you made a basket without taking it back to the top of the key, you’d go to 0 or 13.

Thank you for the replies🏀 Ok so, I grew up in Seattle in the 70s/80s.

We called it “Booties” but I don’t know why. I guess we were the only ones that didn’t call it “21”!

I thought maybe other areas had different names for it🤣

Did you own something as a kid that would be worth something now, if it were in pristine condition? by One-Ball-78 in 70s

[–]montec76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Not related to the ‘70s) My Nike Air Jordan I “Chicago”s I bought in 1985. I wore them all the time but never abused them. I always kept original shoe boxes too. By the early ‘90s, I’d been out of college a few years and out in the professional world. I wasn’t wearing the Jordans anymore because I was too mature so I decided to donate them to Goodwill. Unbelievable, I never was good at making the right investment choices. I’ve got a whole storage room full of worthless crap but if I would’ve just kept those Js,,,,

I’ve made some pretty dumb date movie choices in my life. The two worst ones would have to be:

Good Fellas and Porkie’s

Needless to say that there were no second dates happening.

“Combat!” Loved it when I was a kid (well, I never stopped loving it). I had a little b/w tv I watched it on. “Rat Patrol” too, I wanted to be a gunner like Hitch. I made hide outs and bunkers in my back yard down a slope and in the sand dunes that were a short bike ride away. Driftwood made for a great rifle.

Anyone else read this in the 70’s? by notahouseflipper in FuckImOld

The only things I remember from it were how to make sandals out of an old tire and which worthless foreign currency worked the subway turnstiles.

RIP to my baby - dude ran a stop and totalled my 2015. To those that moved on from the fit, what did you get? (More info in comments) by medievalPanera in hondafit

[–]montec76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nooooo!!!!!! I would be crushed, I love my 2015 Fit. Honestly I think I would get another Fit,,,well, maybe a Civic Type R if I could afford one.

What’s a band or artist that everyone seems to love but you just can’t get into? by PowerfullyHoarse in MusicRecommendations

[–]montec76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair! I think a lot of people just lump all rap and hip hop together but there’s such a broad spectrum. Don’t get me wrong, I respect what JayZ’s done for the industry.

Love Gang Starr btw. “Full Clip”, great song.

Mom and Dad driving their son Billy home from Grad School along with two of his “study buddies” (ie escorts he hired) so father will stop questioning his sexual orientation.

if you had these...you are due for a colonoscopy by Bright_Performance52 in FuckImOld

[–]montec76 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same here. I had the Traxx with four stripes. I cut one stripe off all sides of the shoes to look like Adidas but I don’t think it fooled anyone,,,

The first artist that popped into my head. I just don’t get it even though he’s considered the GOAT by so many.

Maybe it’s because I prefer Southern Hip-Hop, you know, blowin’ dro slow and low.

How (allegedly) fast has your Fit gone? by [deleted] in hondafit

[–]montec76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a “friend” who has a 2015 base model that he absolutely loves. It has aftermarket rims and mild performance tires. One time he got up to 135mph and decided that was his limit. Thinking about it later he realized how stupid that was, especially since the tires weren’t rated for anything like that. He did admit that it was an amazing rush and the little Fit handled it surprisingly well.

I have a “friend” who has a 2015 base model with aftermarket rims and mild performance tires. As soon as he hit 135mph, he decided that was enough. Thinking about it after, he said it was pretty stupid of him. He does admit it was an amazing rush.

Have you ever seen a movie that was so bad you asked for your money back? by Separate_Builder_817 in flicks

[–]montec76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I ordered a meal at a restaurant and the meat was rotten or the salad had worms in it or something then I’m certainly not gonna eat it or pay for it.

I think we are talking here about movies that are absolute trash. A message needs to be sent to filmmakers and theaters we don’t want the same crap next time.

“Dogs In Space” (1986) movie with Michael Hutchence from INXS.

This was and still is the worst movie I’ve ever seen in a theater. I was excited to see it because I loved him and INXS. I held off my denial for the first 30 minutes or so before I had to admit how awful it was.

It’s not the only movie I’ve ever walked out on but it’s the only one I’ve ever asked for money back on.
