I am so freaking upset right now

[Thtwudbeme]

I haven't seen a baseball game in 2 summers.

I can't stand the taste of Miller Lite anymore.

I want a phone that fucking DIALS...none of this wimpy assed button pushing shit. I also want one that one has to sit the hell down and talk on; none of this taking it anywhere crap.

I want a typewriter. Specifically, I want a portable Olivetti.

I want to ride down the road in a 63 Dodge Dart Covertible without Triple A, a cell phone, or a credit card...and listen to Elvis.

I want to believe that a person who pursued a PHd in Biochemestry wouldn't have anything to do with this new "Intelligent Design" horseshit:

Especially a relatively good looking Dr. with a beard who might like Elvis.

Fuck this shit: I want to go "home," and I mean HOME at my grandparents 1969.

1. These are for you. I'm sure you know how to use them.

[JimmyJazz]

2. Can I interest you in one of these?

[Thtwudbeme]

3. At first I thought that was a futuristic Mandala!

But, yes! You can!

1969 was the BEST year for me....lots of deep snows...a really, really cool flexible flyer....

Oh man.....

[Thtwudbeme]

4. Btw....I was just talking about you

with one of your friends!

If your ears were burning, they shouldn't have been...it was all really good!

;)

8. You can't just throw that out there and not provide details.

That's just mean. :(

[Spider Jerusalem]

5. Hm.

Here's a phone for you: (lots more at http://www.customphones.com ...converted to work with modular RJ-11 jacks, even).

And the typewriter: http://salestores.com/olmsprplpoma.html

Other than that, well...like Thomas Wolfe said, you can't go home again.

6. You want a typewriter??

And good on you about the Miller Lite... that stuff sucks.

But ok... yeah... the simpler life and all that... right? Sometimes. Maybe.

[Thtwudbeme]

7. Only the "Simpler life" in terms of gadgets

I sure as hell don't want Vietnam, pre-civil rights, pre-women's movement back!

I just want a car without all the bells and whistles, and a typewriter. And the dialing phone.

I want "now" without all the damned noise! And all the whacko scientists who believe in this new "intelligent design" horseshit!

On edit: I want men with beards to be real men! Men who could field dress a deer with a silver salad fork! I want men with goatees to be intellectual-

See what I mean? It's just so damned complicated now.

9. hey

i would value your thoughts on this

and yes im being serious

what exactly is intelligent design supposed to be
i havent read anything about it though i know its been discusssed quite a bit here

i can assume but we know what happens there (a little throwback to 1969 for you)
and yes i would love for it to be simpler times

[Misunderestimator]

10. True... as you put it... very true.

I guess I just don't see where it's ever been simple. Not really. On the other hand... I never imagined that the pendulum could swing this far in one direction... It's astounding really. Complicated? Yes... I guess it is. I guess it always is.

11. I tried to dress a deer once.

It kept kicking me in the goatee as I was putting on the underpants.

13. .

:spray:

12. Ah, poor poor Thtwudbeme...

You have my sympathies.

For what it's worth, I've been driving a car with manual windows
and door locks for a couple of months. Electric door locks and
power windows really *are* a necessity. They can keep the rest
tho... ;)

14. You need to go to your happy place.
