Yep. Had the dump truck & crane. When we got older we’d ride them down a steep road near us. Indestructible.

Ah yes a simpler time when IRBMs were made fun and accessible so that way you wouldn’t fear them when the reds would use them on you.

A joyous time when dark-skinned people knew their place, mommy swallowed five Valium and vacuumed the same place for an hour just to avoid the fact dad was beating her due to his insecurities and too much blended whiskey.

When you could eat a whole stick of butter on one potato and never think, is this bad for me? Hell its butter, its Borden’s Butter, it HAS to be good.

Yes a gentler time when Caucasian folk ruled the nation without fear of feminazis, immigrants, coloureds and liberals. Where a man was a gun-toting, bigoted, sexist coronary waiting to happen and mommy was a stay at home wife that would put out whenever commanded and cheerfully bring beer after beer to hard-working old dad.

Too bad those golden days are over.

When crime rates were a fraction of today, health care was readily available, people had manners, you could walk the streets at night. Should I continue?

… and kids could actually eat the candy they got for Hallowe’en
… and doctors made housecalls – with a smile
… and Playboy was pornography
… and, and … tears are blocking my view of the keyboard
