Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

[jamespowers]

Mac and Cheese etc........about the same time Ramen noodles hit, and ruined everything.

Mac and cheese?! :eusa_doh: Forget it. :eusa_doh:

What is it? Pizza in a mug?

Hmmm, Pizza In A Mug?!? You intrigue me.

See now? If they invented that in the 70s then I might like it.

What is Mug O' Lunch?!

"If you're hungry and you know it, MUG O' LUNCH!
If you're hungry and you know it, MUG O' LUNCH!
If you're hungry and you know it
Then the taste will surely slow it!
If you're hungry and you know it, MUG O' LUNCH!"

The beef flavor was the best -- like beef stroganoff only without actual beef, and served in a cup. Best cheap after-school meal ever.

Trashy. No thanks.:eusa_doh:

You're sick in the head.:rage:

Really, in the end, I have to say I hated them, too. Doran, JamesPowers, and Lincsong had the hippies to deal with, and in Brooklyn I had the cugines. 'Cugine' is Italian for cousin and it denotes the young vacuous boys/men of fifteen to twenty-five who wore 90 mile an hour hair, gold chains, and wife-beaters. They listened to disco and drove around in daddy's Mercedes picking up cugettes in ankle-bracelets. What a horrible lot. My salvation was in bands like The Ramones and Elvis Costello and the Attractions. Aside from that, I don't look back fondly on those days, though I still am finding some good things about the European banker style.

Thanks to Mr. Powers, et al, I started to think of what I really did learn from the 70s. A short list:

1) It's probably a good idea to spend at least one day a year thinking about the earth.

2) Even a President should really have to obey the law. Vice President, too.

3) Dancing funny doesn't hurt anybody.

4) It's ok to just have fun for awhile.

5) If a lake catches on fire, you might want to take that as a sign.

6) Discrimination, in general, is a bad thing; diversity, in general, is a good thing.

7) Not every rule needs to be followed.

8) Freedom of speech can be very entertaining.

9) Hippies are way cool.

Geez, if you didn't learn all those things, except that last one, before the 70s, I don't know what to tell you. :eusa_doh:

 

[Lincsong]

Absolutely!

Thank you for being consistent.

Land Of The Lost?

I know, I know. Rubber dinsaurs, bad acting...you hated it.

Even worse---someone bought me the board game back then. Its still in the garage somewhere. I'll have to start up the chipper tonight and throw it in. Thanks for reminding me that I still have it and can get rid of some bad garbage.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Don't be foolish, James -- sell it on eBay. lol

[J. M. Stovall]

There was a board game! Awesome! The show had to be good if they made a board game after it, right?!?!

 

[jamespowers]

Don't be foolish, James -- sell it on eBay. lol

I would get greater satisafaction from the chipper. What's a game like that hunk of junk worth on eBay $5 plus shipping? :eusa_doh: Running the 70s through the chipper is worth much more to me.
I did run across bunch of 70s ties extremely representative of the period. I am going to take pictures and put them in the Classified to see just how much the 70'sophiles here are willing to put their money where their mouth is.

Regards,

J
