One sentence game

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Experience the joy of reading" is advice that generations who are certain they can be instant experts on everything by listening to 30-second sound bites or watching 3 minute videos will never heed.

[NOBLNG]

Heed the advice of your elders is not really a thing anymore.

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Anymore" isn't any easier to start a sentence with today than it was last time.

1964 was back in the days when people still knew what sentences were.

[Tim W. SoCal]

Were you as passionate about the scale model hobby in earlier years as you are today?

[Ace-Garageguy]

Today reminds me of mornings in my youth when I was really really anxious to get to work on a model...but alas, some "adult responsibility" always seems to take priority now.

[Tim W. SoCal]

Now I'm remembering the early days of my youth when Revell instruction sheets had tables listing the names of all the car parts, which was the inception of my automotive education.

 

 

 

 

 

[Ace-Garageguy]

Education as to the names and general locations of many automotive parts began with building car models when I was a kid, exactly as Tim says above, and once that had started to sink in, I began to understand the technical articles in the real-car magazines.

Magazines of the hot rod / custom (kustom) / high performance / race car variety were the harbingers of the car culture news for many, many years.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Years ago, I quit buying car mags when the ad content began to vastly outweigh the editorial content, and what tech articles there were were thinly disguised ads themselves, dumbed down to the "see Spot run" level, a far cry from the multi-page hardcore tech articles in the 1950s and '60s that actually had (OMG OMG!!!) real math sometimes.

Years go by fast and now I’m old

[Ace-Garageguy]

"Old" sometimes doesn't seem so bad, especially when I look around at a lot of "young" today.

[thatz4u]

Today is what you should live for according to this Grass Roots song

 

[Tim W. SoCal]

"Song" is a very weird word to start a proper sentence with, but I'm not criticizing.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Criticizing can be helpful or destructive, depending largely on the intent of the one doing it, and the way it's packaged.

Packaged meats can be handy for making quick sandwiches.

[Tim W. SoCal]

Sandwiches made by my wife are what fill my belly every work day when I'm on my lunch break.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Break my bones may sticks and stones, but words will never hurt me.

[Tim W. SoCal]

Me, myself and I are my own worst enemies and harshest critics.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Critics of my work who've never demonstrated that they can do at least as well don't rate my attention, but criticism from genuinely accomplished practitioners of whatever-it-is is always welcome.

[Tim W. SoCal]

Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends, we're so glad you could attend, step inside, step inside!

[Ace-Garageguy]

Inside my mind, you'll find a fair selection of unresolved issues, but I chip away at 'em a little every day.

[NOBLNG]

Day two builds over bone stock replicas are what I prefer.

Prefer all you want, but if you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding.
