I don't remember seeing any in dad's garage, but he had electrical tape.. black tape on white sneakers :P Most of those beers I don't even recognize the names of. But then again, we don't see Genesee beer around here either. Is Hamm's still made? I remember that commercial with the Hamm's beer bear :P "comes from the land of sky-blue waters"Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765443131151220391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-80332250276029742010-05-06T07:37:26.058-04:002010-05-06T07:37:26.058-04:00Diane:

(go figure, I can wear plaid now!) <br /><br />But we had the smiley bumper sneakers when I was in 7th grade..and then we went to Nikes with the red swoosh.. I wore mine until they fell apart, and then held together with electrical tape wrapped around them (great during a MN winter!) <br /><br />When did Schlitz Malt Liquor get replaced? Gee, I must be stuck in the early 80s. <br /><br />I was at the gas station this evening at the Exxon where I have a CC for (gee thanks) and there was a drunk screaming female in the parking lot, some car pounding with bass, and 2 cars with a bunch of yutes smoking dope. I gassed up the church van as fast as I could, pushed NO for a receipt (didn't want to wait that long) and got the heck out of dodge.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765443131151220391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-62774266243793155232010-05-05T22:20:34.764-04:002010-05-05T22:20:34.764-04:00Now for the countdown ...

Gosh, where to start?
I was at a MickeyD'...Bob:<br />Gosh, where to start?<br />I was at a MickeyD's not long ago. I had ordered and was waiting for my food. This gal came up to the counter. She was wearing the tight pants, the bare midriff, the tats, and the attitude. She had a male with her whose pants were around his knees, with shorts underneath. She orders and says then: <br /><br />"It's fresh cooked--I want freshly cooked."<br /><br />Her attitude...I want what I want and I want it now. I had to actively suppress two urges: 1) To ask her how she grew such arrogance and entitlement and what did she do to entitle her to boss people around in such an arrogant and demeaning way? (She talked down to the man taking her order, like he was her butler or something.) 2) Pour my large Coke on her head.<br /><br />#1 would have caused a verbal (at least) disturbance; #2 was a waste of perfectly good Coke, so I did nothing but shake my head and mutter apologies to the order taker.<br /><br />What in the world did we do to our selves?<br /><br />Just have to keep fighting the good fight!

I've relegated JEANS to yard work or home repair. <br /><br />I wear CAMO BDU's about the house (most days...they wear like IRON - PLUS, I consider myself somewhat in a "war zone"...lol), but if the missus and I go out, I've got enough "dress" clothes to fill the bill.<br /><br />I believe in that the way you DRESS (to fit the venue) speaks VOLUMES to other people.<br /><br />You wanna DRESS like a slob...then don't bitch when people VIEW you AS a slob...it's that simple, right?<br /><br />Hey, thanks for stopping by and commenting.Bob G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09222203353717749897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-81339763050144597882010-05-05T11:37:18.267-04:002010-05-05T11:37:18.267-04:00Dear Bob,
I never get the belt under the butt. All...Dear Bob,<br />I never get the belt under the butt. All this was supposed to be satire at first (I mean, the hat worn the wrong way,like Stepin Fetchit). Now I don't know how people walk.<br /><br />But as for those big shirts, I know how they're hiding guns.<br /><br />I will say standards of dress have taken a steady nose dive all over. I don't know what happened. sometimes I watch noir movies just to see somebody in a tie or dress when they're just hanging around.<br /><br />The beer couture,right.<br />Ann T.Ann T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11128699035211561119noreply@blogger.com
