When you were a kid and you used bad language it was ok for your mother to rip off your arm and beat you with the bloody end, with no intervention from the police, DCFS, or any politically correct organizations.

 

I'm older than you. When I grew up, not only were friend's parents allowed to beat you within an inch of your life, so were random strangers. In fact, society actively encouraged it!

But what I really want to know is, who taught nuns how to fight? Because when I was a kid, I'd rather tangle with the biggest bully 2 grades ahead of me than the smallest nun. You didn't stand a chance against those sadists. I'm pretty sure Sugar Ray Robinson was giving them lessons on the side.

Showbiz Pizza and the Justification for Higher Education poster framed most of my childhood dreams.

When I started racing bikes, the class for "masters" racers, the old guys who weren't willing to risk life and limb for a podunk race, started at age 35. Those grey haired has beens expanded when I was in my early twenties to allow age thirty and up in most races. I've been a masters racer for five years now!

 

When we moved outside the Baltimore Beltway in 1971 that was considered moving to the country. Our friends all said they'ed never see us again. Now that area is part of the general Baltimore Urban Sprawl.

 

When 'Gimme Caps' were free.

 

You had gravel??? Why back in my day the guy who eventually invented gravel hadn't been born yet. We only had one really big rock and had to make everything out of grass...
