That 70's Thread!

Do you remember PDQ drink flavor beads ?
I remember PDQ!

Is this what you are talking about, or were the beads different?
 

Speaking of '70's cars . . .

Who remembers the AMC Gremlin?:

And the AMC Pacer?:

That was American car-making at its worst, there.

We had one of these when I was a kid. Who needed SUV's when the sedans were this big?

This was my first car. A 1967 Ford Fairlane. Mine was navy blue with a white convertible top, and light blue interior. I paid $750 for it. What a pure POS that car turned out to be! I should have hung on to it. This guy is selling his for $19K!!!

Dave's photo of the piece of junk made me have a flashback.

Look who it is:

Good Lord!

What a decade!

CB radios and all the lingo - Welcome Back Kotter - my wife went into labor listening to Horschack's laugh for the first time!:

That's funny Dave.

And it reminds me of Welcome Back Kotter.

I remember this came out when I was in junior high.

And how odd it was that these 30 year olds were portraying high school students.

What a decade!

Up your nose with a rubber hose.

And, while we are talking 70's TV,

How about the Fonz?

Same deal.

I was supposed to believe that this old man was cool?:

Sorry, but I never bought into that.

Everybody in the TV industry was obviously ingesting massive amounts of drugs in the 70's!

L - R: NTSammy5, DES1954, Big Al (1919-1981). Christmas 1970

Alright, this has been bugging me all day.

Al reminds me of somebody.

First I was thinking of the sidekick from the Wonder Years:

But, the glasses aren't right.

Then, I was thinking Meathead from All in The Family:

Minus the moustache and plus the glasses?

No, that's not it either.

Al looks like somebody.

I just can't place him.

NTSammy5 looks kind of like James Spader in Stargate Atlantis.

Only with shorter hair.

Yes he does.

If you took the hair of the kid from the Wonder Years, and Meathead's eyes, and put them on the guy from Stargate Atlantis (never heard of it or him), I think you would have Al circa 1970!
