as a kid growing up in the uk we used to play 'cowboys and indians' and watch high chaparal and bonanza along with other cowboy films.
later, in the 70's kung fu would be shown with caine going through the 'old west'.
we even had a chocolate bar that was marketed with a 'cowboy' theme...milky bar.. as far as i know the 'wild west' as shown on tvdidn't actually exist.. are there people that believe it did?.
Punkofnice, would you like to travel back in time to 1888 Deadwood South Dakota? Listen to this song and get a taste of what it would have felt like on a lazy afternoon in a Deadwood saloon. This music and story are how it still feels in the small towns outwest.
You're going to smile ear to ear. I promise. Very atmospheric. It's called Deadwood and it is by Nanci Griffith. It was written by her former husband Eric Taylor. This was recorded in 1988.
as a kid i only collected comic books until around 1962.. my collection was very important to me and i had emotional excitement at the release of a new comic--but--i made a date with 2 girls.
on the same day and didn't have any money!
(not thinking it through, you see :).
I collect historic firearms and look upon it mostly as an investment. Most of them can't be shot, but they double in value approximately every 8 - 10 years.
My paternal grandfather had one full wall in his basement filled with antique and historic firearms. He also built replica Civil War cannons, steam engines and scale locamotives and train cars with tracks, from scratch. One of his trains is in a museum.

I like collecting magnets because they are fun, portable and easy to keep clean. My kids and made magnets when they were growing up as well. The watermelon ones are a couple from those times.
Just some of my magnet collection. I have collected more since these pictures were taken. I had some pigs that would fall off and their ears would break off.

This is the first I have heard of this story, too.
It is pointed out that this young woman's parents sat there without tears. That says a lot about what life was like for this girl, growing up. And where did she learn to punch a child in the face?
i don't know about ya'll, but i did not appreciate the 1980s enough.
i was too busy lamenting how different they were from the 1960s and 1970s to bask in and appreciate how wonderful they were.. this is 80s music, especially new wave music, and 80s fashion and culture appreciation thread.
what did you love about the 80s?
The original of Miss Amanda Jones was done by the Rolling Stones. The Some Kind of Wonderful sound track has both the original and the 80s cover version by The March Violets.

I really enjoyed watching Moonlighting with Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd in the 80's
So did I. TV shows were something I did actually enjoy watching with my ex husband, the born in JW. We loved mysteries and trying to solve them together. We also loved REmington Steel and Quincy.
Viola, love all of those. Thank you.
I loved the Brat Pack and John Hughs movies:
my wife and i still like each other.
fortieth is "ruby.
" since rubies aren't in the budget, we went to ruby beach for the weekend.
OK, I was thinking of posting a pic taken outside the KH on Oct. 6, 1974; but then I looked at it and decided not to. It's there on a post a year ago if you want to look.
Give us a link or PM one, please and I will.
