The Flagg was a myth, spun for luring in children's hopes and dashing them upon the rocks of christmas morning.

Now, ask us about the time we lost a bunch of his joes in the snow and then went around trying to find them the first time the snow melted, or having rattler vs skystriker battles in the back yard, or setting up jungle ambushes in his mom's plants and we'll go on for 20 minutes.

stealie72 posted:This is a guy that I and another friend have been tight with since essentially birth, and over the past 30-ish years have brought up the Flagg multiple times, and all three of us agree it was kinda lame once you got past the giant box under the christmas tree and the general "holy poo poo, I got the USS Flagg" ness of it all. It mostly served as a display for him to lay out his vehicles and line up his guys when we were done playing. Friend, if you think you're going to dispel this particular defense mechanism against childhood disappointment, i got some bad news for you.  Ya see the trick is to not let even one fall down, cuz then the other, more important ones are vulnerable.

I was playing GTAV recently and We Built This City came on and i never listened to the lyrics because its a bad song, but its literally about San Fransisco being where good music from the 60s came from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1b8AhIsSYQ It's also funny seeing the 40 year old members of Starship trying to look cool by putting a bunch of hip 80s kids with them. It looks more like the teacher took the senior class to see the talking Lincoln at the county fair.

Mentioning THAT SONG is now worthy of a sixer, y'all been warned. Do not earworm me with it ever again. Although a PYLF Earworm thread might be fun...? Nothing but tormenting soundguys with "Take Me Home Tonight" by Eddie Money (there's a tape drag or something halfway through, you can hear the pitch shift. Drives me insane when we have the 80's station on at work.

IIRC Grace Slick was the only member in common between Jefferson Airplane and Starship, and she didn't like it either.

Oh yeah. Have you ever heard Skip Spence's solo record? He was like the Syd Barrett of Jefferson Airplane. Moby Grape's self-titled record is really great too.

Boomers were still in their 30s and early 40s then so they were still kinda young and hip so you would think as a kid "yea hippy music was the best music!" when your dad would get excited about all 60s weekend and have to hear Beach Boys all weekend.

And we had one of those when I was a kid. You shoved some ice cubes in the hole and then turned a crank in the back and something inside (probably a blade or something else similarly dangerous) would shave off bits of them as it spun around. Once you had enough you used the little shovel to extricate the slush into the cup, then you aimed for a 50/50 mix of Kool-Aid concentrate "flavoring" and ice to get a sugar rush. Or at least I did. It was kind of a pain in the rear end and a lot of work for what you got but it was heady times to be able to whip up your own snow cone at home on-demand.

Though I remember a lot of people having that sno cone maker but it was never used. I figure it broke super easily.

If it's anything like my experience, it's from lack of ice. Once you get done with that first round of cups, the leftover ice is melted and you have to wait for more.
