  1. Nah. This is a family joint:
  2. That vintage aluminum foil on the package tray doubles the value of any kit.
  3. What could you do with these four things?
  4. Let me clarify. I meant land yacht Caddys from '54-'99. Post-2000 models would have the appearance of wheeled Easter eggs or Peeps.
  5. Caddys are the only cars that look good in pink.
  6. Neither should one who dresses like an 1890's newsboy, either. Now, where did I leave that bag of M80s?
  7. No photoshopping, Pete. It's one of a series of pictures from a "branding" photo shoot for F.E. Castleberry:
  8. If that's your thing, zei gezunt. Just don't attribute your particular recreational activities to someone else.
  9. Nothing like 35 year old kidults. Who wants to join the Kickball League?
  10. Danno, are you anywhere near Salida?
  11. Oh, sorry to hear that. If you bothered to read the fine print, you would have noticed the disclaimer that, as of 2015, all Ford passenger cars and trucks are dry clean only.
  12. Uh, you gonna eat all that by yourself, maaaaaan?
  13. A friend of mine owned a gasthaus. One day, he asked me if I could do him a favor."Joe, you know how much I like a good steak. But, Gott, oh Gott, it's to expensive here, for sure. The Commissary has very good prices. If I give you some money, can you buy for me some T-bone and other steaks?" I told him "no problem." He pulled out a wad of twenties (400 bucks, to be exact), and said, "Great! Buy what you can with this." My friend Jim and I went to the commissary the next day. If you remember the price of meats there back in the early '80s, it was dirt cheap. We cleared out all of the steaks from the shelves, which grossly overfilled five shopping carts. The cashier gave Jim and me a really suspicious look when we were at the register. "Uh, we're having a company cookout." "Yeah, sure you are." My friend didn't sell any of the steaks at the gasthaus. He threw a huge barbeque/beer bash at his place and gave the steaks and brews away for free.
  14. Greenwald is about 20 miles north of Paynesville. From Paynesville, take MN-4 N until you see Greenwald Pub on your left. I was at this joint in February 1987 and was involved in a hellaciously wonderful bar brawl with the local gomers.
  15. Hey Mike, you have to admit that they were pretty roomy inside and had a fairly large trunk, good for storing cartons of cheap PX smokes and Class VI store Jim Beam just in case "somebody" might need some.
  16. My first car while in Germany was a pumpkin orange 1972 VW K70 L. It ran for exactly as long as one would expect a $250 car to, not very.
  17. A guy (26 years old) I know, who operates a tobacco shop here, had a souped up rice burner with all of the goofy looking accoutrements.. He recently sold it because he bought a 1970 Dodge Charger I showed him online. He has seen the light. Alleluiah!
  18. The key is to be a smart shopper. Use the internet to your advantage. The average person who searches for info with Google only looks at the first two pages of results. You'd be surprised at how many real bargains you'll find from Page 3 onward.
  19. Charlie, can you PM me a few pieces of general info? 1. Can you tell me what your buddy's approximate location (like cross streets) is in Red Hook? 2. The same regarding your lady friend? From those two, I can give you more detailed directions on how to get from Point 1 to Point 2. Right off the bat, I can tell you that there are only two subway lines, which operate from the same stations in Red Hook (the G and F trains from Carroll Street and Smith-9th St., the F is the only one running to Midwood.) I'll also be able to give you some information on bars, restaurants, etc,
  20. I hated when security stamped indelible ink on my forehead to validate me at clubs. A simple wristband would've sufficed.
  21. Drag racing and the cars aren't popular with kids today as they were in the '60s and '70s. I went through the Hot Wheels site and there isn't one dragster/funny car listed.
  22. Raccoon flambe, served on lefse, is a real crowd pleaser in Paynesville and Greenwald. In fact, raccoons are the secret stuffing in My Pillows
  23. Hmmm... I just read an article about Hempstead, N.Y. enacting a law five days ago which mandates that gas stations provide, and make access to, free air with pressure gauges.
  24. There's a conspiracy theory thread for that one, Danno.
  25. That's old hat around here. Crazy Eddie, a defunct electronics chain, did that back in 1985
