Or when you could tell your mom you didn’t call to say you’d be late because you didn’t have a quarter (or a dime depending how far back we want to go)I remember when this is how I made a phone call.View attachment 432174View attachment 432173
Or when mom had to stop fast her right arm would automatically come across the front seat to stop us from hitting the metal dash! (As if it would actually workI remember standing on the bench seat of our Monte Carlo, between my mother and father, driving down the road at 65mph+. No need for seatbelts, child car seats, or any restraints at all.![]()

Not hit... just a lil shmack shometimeshsss...I remember when Sean Connery said it’s ok to hit a woman.
Guess bond never read or watched a Mike hammer movie or bookNot hit... just a lil shmack shometimeshsss...![]()
I wouldn't call it fake. Not with the injuries the guys take, it's real. It's just scripted but it's as real as ballet. In fact one could look at wrestling as testosterone ballet.I remember when I thought wrestling was real.

oh gosh green stamps. I forgot about that including the huge warehouse retail location on the same hill as the roller rink"Hey, Rosita, come quick!

I remember back to around 1952 and onward. I lived in NH then. I remember our phone # and no dial. We had switchboard operators, private and party lines. My Gramps smoked Days 'o Work hand rubbed out and put into a cob or something. He'd carve it off with a knife and I'd watch thinking he'd cut himself. He was a giant to me. Gruff, large, strong, and yet gentle and affirming. He died at age 62.
My first cigarette was a Pall Mall at age 6, shared with my neighbor hidden by a hill by the railroad tracks that brought huge cars of granite to the mill at the end of our street. I got woozy. That would have been in '56.
They're giving green stamps with Tequila!"

Hmm uh grabbing other men while oiled up and wearing rubber pants don't hit that testosterone ballet.I wouldn't call it fake. Not with the injuries the guys take, it's real. It's just scripted but it's as real as ballet. In fact one could look at wrestling as testosterone ballet.
if you're implying things about wrestling that it deserves to have said about it. I'll remind you that westerns have lots of chaps and men camping together so....Hmm uh grabbing other men while oiled up and wearing rubber pants don't hit that testosterone ballet.
Start watching good westerns.
Totally agree.I wouldn't call it fake. Not with the injuries the guys take, it's real. It's just scripted but it's as real as ballet. In fact one could look at wrestling as testosterone ballet.
The whole scripted matches thing came from the fact that certain wrestlers were so good that people stopped enjoying their matches and it slowed ticket sales. People knew that guy always wins. So at first only the main event matches became scripted. Another thing people don't realize either is that sometimes the match is scripted from start to finish and sometimes it's just the out come and the wrestlers can either choose to script out the whole thing themselves or choose to improvise and actually see who really would have won. The whole thing isn't "real" but there is more real in there then people think.Totally agree.
It gave the impression of scripting in the UK, the eternal "good" guys and "bad" guys guaranteed to get granny ringside waving her handbag in fury. But then there was the tragedy of Masambola, which certainly wasn't planned.The whole scripted matches thing came from the fact that certain wrestlers were so good that people stopped enjoying their matches and it slowed ticket sales.

Though apperantly the fakest thing in wrestling was having to pretend to like and respect certain faces.
