    This may not make it past the censor. Some of those seven words sneak in once in a while so beware.

    If you care to, google George Carlin 10 Commandments at your own risk.

    Come on, if some of you don't remember these, it must be because your view of the TV was distorted by your baby bottle. :D

    You forgot "Keds" and "Pea-Coats".

    This thread is like a walk down memory lane, except for a brief blank spot in the 70's.

    Sunday Blue Laws...nothing open but restaurants and pharmacies and if you didn't buy your alcohol on Saturday, yur outta luck!

    Fast food was grabbing a donut at the all-night diner...no McDonalds, no 7-Elevens.

    Cigarettes in vending machines.

    Movie theatres had one screen and really, REALLY sticky floors. :D
