Or a more appropriate subject title could be:

Welcome to my parents basement. Lets party like it's 1983!

Ok, I graduated high school in 1983, does that mean I have to sing the Flock of Seaguls song, "I ran"?

I graduated in 1985. So in '83 my bunch would have been old enough to drive to the carry out to buy beer.

Anyone that wants a subforum down here with the subject title of their choice is more than welcome to ask. Then you will be offered the choice of moderating your own subforum.

Not me, I kept chasing the drinking age in NY. They changed it to 19 Jan 1st, Jan 18th I turned 18, then when they changed it to 21 on Jan 1st, I turned 19, I should have taken that as I sign, I just wasn't meant to drink in HS, maybe that saved me.

Alcohol is highly overrated.

That's why I have ALWAYS been the designated dummy.

The drinking age was 19 when my buddies and were already 19, so we were grandfathered in while the 18 year olds had to wait another 2 or 3 years or so.

True 'nuf!

I think Ann wants a subforum to hide in

Put in a trapdoor

A trapdoor--yes we can go deeper!!

How far do you wish to go?

Don't encourage her

Don't encourage me.

Have a cookie Harold You'll need it for the cookie war

Not much of a fight when I own the cookie and the war.

Don't tell me youll be repaving

We the people and the media own the war. Do you really want the 'Harold Star' to start up and truly reveal all those "nasties"? You may own the cookies, but we the people own the war.

Just keep digging and see how deep we can go!!

"It's a LOOOOOOOOng way to Tipperary!"

Ok you True Believers. We should be running version 7.1 in about a month or so. We get to pound on it first as beta testers. Aren't we special?

Yes we are

I'll only feel special if we get full post tracking.

When we do get FPT we better watch out, someone might go on a kissing spree.

Me first.

You want to kiss Kris? Okay go for it.

No everybody gets to kiss me.

Kris and Harold

I'm in line!

I hope you let Lisa kiss you.

Sitting in a tree.

... You evil woman! Now I'll never hear the end of it from Lisa.

I am soooo confused. I don't remember if I believe in kissing and I think that I would have to be under the sink for a long time before .... Oh crap I forgot

I believe in kissing. In parked cars, with the windows all fogged up.

You know, kissing and krissing is only off by one letter. Have some fun, include the "r".

OK

Ah memories.

Ah, I'd like to make memories like that, wait, no.....nevermind.

And the bed of Trucks
Dizzy I know you know what a ute is

No beds of trucks-just back seats of cars. What is a ute spray?

we call them ElCaminos here Ann , Utes in Aussie land .
The ElCaminos are not made anymore here , but they still make the Holden Ute and I think a few Other Brands as well .

Oh I remember the ElCaminos

They're top on my list of the ugliest cars ever made.

You have never seen the Pacer or Pinto. How about the Corvett?

An image of a Pacer isn't coming to mind.

What was that 1950s/1960s car with the bullet nose?

This is the car I wanted but never got-guess that is why I got the yellow mustang. For the young ones it's VW Karmann Ghia

Was it a Studebaker?

Early 70's

Pacers are fun.

I love Volkswagens. I remember sitting in my aunt's lap while she drove her VW Cabriolet. It was red; and, given my age, it was probably a 1988 or 1989 model. I was like her first child, and we spent a lot of time together. Then, she met Ron, married him, and had her own children.

That was the name that was on the tip of my tongue!

Henry J had a bullet nose and was a studie
I drove a 76 orange Karman Giha for a year back in 83 .
My mother drove a AMC Pacer for years and loved it .

The 1964-72 El Caminos were cool Joseph , I almost bought a 86 SS El Camino new , but got a loaded Tahoe S-10 instead , biggest mistake I ever made !

In '74-'75 I was at Davis monthan AFB in Tucson. The SAC side had U2's there. Those folks used El Caminos as chase vehicles for the U2. Watching those vehicles chase down the runway after those birds was a sight to behold. The El Caminos had the biggest motors that would fit. Also the way they were souped up (old Term for modifying the motors to get all the power possible.) The drivers had to be careful because of the acceleration, they could burn the tires off the thing.

The coolest car I ever had was a Yellow 1960 Austin Healey Bug Eye Sprite. I haven't gained enough brain matter to post pics yet. so if someone can help me out. You can all see how cool it was. I think they developed a cartoon character from it.

Here you are Gort

Isnt that the same car doctor who rode in called betsy?

Thanks Ann.

I finally figured it out. Ann I am not sure what year that A-H was but I think it was older than 1960. Here is what mine looked like.

Trally you're not thinking of Dick Van Dyke in "My Mother the car" are you?

Nope, Doctor who's Jon Pertwee drove a car like Ann showed

http://shillpages.com/dw/story/d3/st--3t32.jpg

I think I am becoming dyslectic. Why didn't I know that?

So Ann if you never got that car, What car that you did have was your favorite?

After that I got married-so cars became just something to get from one place to another. No reason to look sexy in a yellow convertible.

Yea , one place to neck to the next place to neck

After I was married-car necking was over!!

These days I would just as soon do without as do the deed in a car.

Me too!!

I want an AMC Pacer. Anyone got one for sale cheap?

Actually, it isn't a bad looking car. But I'd never get away with buying a car from 1979

I can't afford any of the cars I like.

I want this

Lexus IS 300 , I almost bought one 2 years ago
Volvo is coming out with a cool little 2 door I would like called the C30

The IS 350 is nice. (Why isn't it a two-door? In person, the rear doors look almost useless) I never much liked the older generations. I am quite excited about the Lexus IS-F.

I've never much liked a Lexus until this last year. They're loosing that plain-jane vanilla look and are actually getting a little pep. I do wish Toyota would loose a few more of the similarities in appearance with their Lexus branded cars, however. They are actually beginning to make me prefer them over BMW.

Ok, I looked at the back and sides of the Pacer. I retract my statements about it being a cute car.

I'm not into cute cars. I like sleek and sexy.

The Mclaren F1 for an older build is a sleek sexy speedster

And the SLR mercedes is a sweet heart , all carbon fiber and fast , and oh how I would lick the paint off that puppy if it was mine

Oh, yes.

I'd also like to lick the BMW M6.

I have always been a porsche fan , I wanted a 87-91 RUF CTR Yellow Bird
Or a twin turbo Carrera older model .
How about the Saleen S7

A Porsche isn't my cup of tea.

well then , when I win the lotto , you wont want a ride in my new 2007 Porsche GT
or My Ford GT 40

A son of one of my in-law-outlaws has been sleeping under a bridge. He just won $17000.00 in back pay from the court. He spent it all on a Mustang. He says if he can sleep under a bridge he can sleep in a Mustang. I wonder if he will park it at the end of the bridge.

A real brain-e-ack

As much as I love a nice car, I'd rather have a nice roof over my head.

For 17,000 he could have got a nice used trailer.

For 17000 he could stay in my garage for a couple of days.

Going back to the Pacer, I had one. There was a lot of problems with the front steering assembly. They really had a bad design. The whole steering unit failed because of some o-ring gaskets and you could rebuild them but they would fail soon after. You had to buy a whole new unit and it was about $1,700.00 We sold ours.

It was an AMC product , cheap , cheap , cheap , why do you think they failed

I always wanted an AMX (1968) was the only year they were cool. Never liked the later ones.

I drove a 1975 Gremlin for a year in High School during the mid 1980's.

Those are nice , I always wanted a 69' .
A buddy of mine years ago liked all AMC cars and had a Gremlin drag car , his daily driver was a black 69 AMX , and his show cars was a real rare 69 SC/Rambler , and was in the process of restoring a 70' rebel Machine .
Never have seen him around town anymore .

I believe in you, TURD !

You two.. Get a bathroom!

Kristopher, I BELIEVE in YOU!

Now that is a scary thought!

Scary for you perhaps but incredibly amusing for the rest of us.

LOL

LOL: Look Out Love?

What is going on here!

Could it be.....Laughter?

Look Out Laughter? That doesn't make any sense!

Look out Lovey!!! Sometimes Harold and Dizzy roleplay they are Mr and Mrs Howell from Gilligan's Island

You have some really freaky dreams Tral.

Yes Lovey!!!

Trallyus needs to get his meds fixed.

Depends on the day of the week as to which one of us needs an adjustment on our meds.

You guys never cease to crack me up!

Which is why I suggested to Harold he outlaw crack on the board. It is not good for your health MaryB. Not good at all! Please, can't we all just leave the crack alone!

That's why we both have innocent minds kris since we don't use crack

Any excuse. We still don't believe it you know.

We say it long and enough times you just may believe us

Not likely. I may get slightly confused at times but I won't believe that line of B.S.

You will believe our B.S.

You have to do better than that Tral.

darn!!!

Oops.

Oops?

Yes.

Ok.

You're not trying to make me dizzy with all of that spinning around so that I'll believe Tral's line of BS are you?

My son started to worry me the other night. We were in the basement drinking at the bar we built from scrap lumber and log siding that we had left over. He looks over at the basement wall that I just scraped the loose paint off and says" You know what would look really cool? We should paint a mural of the Martian landscape on there and leave the low spots as craters" Now he is showing a creative side that is a culmination of both his mother's and my abilities( very scary) I must tell him to use this power wisely. So now I will have to invite Debra Harry down here to sign her rap song and we can name the place The Bar from Mars!

A Martian landscape mural! You gonna do it?

Take lots of pictures..

We are still talking about it! The thing about murals is that you put a lot of work into them and it kills me to see someone else paint over it. Had that happen to me in the Air Force. We spent weeks painting a mural of an A10 shooting up a tank and a new NCO came in a month later and said get that crap off of the wall. It was a well done mural and everyone loved it. It killed me to see it painted over. But anyway I think it would be great and I want to do it.

I am a true believer I am.... really... I am

Wow I just had a revelation Harold's Place = HP

Wow I wonder if he gets secret funding from them.

Ya know it would be nice if someone would turn on a light for me down here. I think there is someone standing in the corner and I don't know who it is.

You're looking at the wrong corner

How would I know I can't see anything down here.

True believers don't need a light to see our truth.

What did I just step in?

I'm glad I decided not to follow in your path.

OK I wiped my shoe off and it smells better.

Your shoe had a runny nose?

All Hail Harold!!! His light of truth always lights the way

Reclasified as Haroldvision

Who took the toilet paper?

Some one took it over 3 years ago

Oppps Sorry, But I'll sell some to you, 25 cents a sheet.

2dogs will just use Amy's cat , he isnt going to pay for TP !!

I will not. Besides no one was using those guest towels.

What , Afraid of a few deep claw marks on yur bum ?

wink wink

when did we get guest towels?

you may not want to use them after 2dogs used them *wink wink*

true, I just hope he don't clog the toilet trying to flush them

I think he's giving them a swirly flush wash , and hanging them back up
Gives a whole new meaning to smell my fingers

DUCK!

Daffy?

Hello.......Anyone?

I'm here
