Just because that may be your preference doesn't mean everyone is like that.

Do they still charge by the carload? We used to pile as many people into the car as we could in HS, even had people in the trunk. Never watched the movies, just parked in the back and got drunk.

By law, no beer can be over 4 percent in Utah unless it is sold at a state liquor agency, so Utah still has 3.2 beer, or "near beer."

Yea they do, I think it's 7 or 9 bucks now though. When I was in high school we'd do the same, or get high. What year did you graduate? I might know you or something. I'm also in the Toledo area too.

I remember when....

I was little and Kevin Mack and "The Ice Cube" Gerald McNeil were my favorite football players.
......When every sane Browns fan couldn't stand John Elway.
......When hanging out at "Home Pizza" past crew few after the Middle School dance was walking on the wild side. LOL!

1) No remote controls for tvs and sets had a separate dial for UHF channels
2) taping music with a tape recorder holding it next to the radio
3) the network nightly news actually being important, let alone relevant
4) leaded "regular" gasoline

Postum.

You could go to the store at age 13 and tell the clerk your dad needed a pack of smokes and they would sell them to you.

Renault automobiles.

The taste of the gum that came in a package of baseball cards.

Having lunch outside everyday except rainy days.

Getting my allowance of $.10 per week.

Teachers in their smoking lounge. When you opened the door you thought the Miami Hurricanes were running out.

Students getting paddled in hallways at school. The room would get quiet just to hear the ass get cracked.

Bench clearing brawls at high school sporting events.....and no one got suspended.

Playing pinball in the local business and actually trying to beat a certain score so you could get a free game and save a quarter.

Two kids talking shit at school planning to fight after school, then they actually did.

Girls with he 80's hairspray that had their hair teased to the moon, and they were hot.

Pulling your socks up to your calf, because that's how you wore them.
