Saturday morning cartoons were the whole reason for the weekend. Now kids don't even get up early enough to watch them. DS sleeps in on Saturday.
I would have a pack of saltines (don't like milk so i couldn't eat cereal and DM and DD would still be sleep) and sit in front of the TV from about 5AM until noon. Then I would get to watch soul train at noon. (the real soul train before the half naked girls ) and practice all of the dance moves.
Whatever happened to all of the dance shows (American bandstand was good too) and why were we so fascintated with watching other people dance on TV.
Shennie - OMG - I lived for Soul Train (but I was young with babies) I did my housework and danced with the babies....I STILL watch soullllllllllllll trainnnnnnnnn...lol My DS's still remember that and then they would watch wrestling.......
And yes American Bandstand, etc........
Yes, yes! I know why they've lost it. Its because instead of seeing Soul Train, our kids would much rather be able to watch their idols and the half nekkid girls on BET and MTV. Such a shame.
Julie - Yes to all of the above. First DH and me use to watch Star Trek everynight (before babies)....
The places where the girls come out to your cars are called drive-thurs, like A&W. Actually here we still have a couple and the girls bring the food out on trays on rollerskates, the one we go to is called Fast Eddies. It draws alot of Classic Car nuts....
Guy gets on a plane and finds himself seated next to a cute blonde. He immediately turns to her and makes his move.
"You know," he says, "I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger. So let's talk."
The blonde, who had just opened her book, closes it slowly and says to the guy, "What would you like to discuss?"
"Oh, I don't know," says the guy, smiling. "How about nuclear power?"
"OK," says the blonde. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff -- grass. Yet the deer excretes little pellets, the cow turns out a flat patty, and the horse produces muffins of dried poop. Why do you suppose that is?"
The guy is dumbfounded. Finally he replies, "I haven't the slightest idea."
"So tell me," says the blonde, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know ****?"
By following the simple advice I heard on a Dr. Phil show, I have
finally
found inner peace.
Dr. Phil proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all
the
things you have started. So I looked around my house to see things
I
started and hadn't finished; and, before leaving the house this
morning I
finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White Zinfandel, a
bottle
of
Baileys, a bottle of Kahlua, a package of Oreos, the remainder of
both
Prozac and Valium prescriptions, the rest of the Cheesecake, some
Saltines
and a box of Chocolates.
You have no idea how freking' good I feel.
Please pass this on to those you feel are in need of inner peace.
