You young barbarians with no culture need enlightenment. 

 

You are ignorant of the good old days. 

 

I shall attempt to enlighten you about our ancient culture.

 

Wacky Packages

Our generation giving the finger to consumer culture.

Over the Edge (1978)

This movie is 100% authentic seventies. If you want to know what the 70s were really like, look it up. It's on YouTube.

I have the coffee table book-lette issued with all the Whacky Packy images. It's cool, and came in a bubblegum paper dust jacket. Loved them when i was a kid

No dungarees, but had that hair. Spotted a teenager who looked like a '70s escapee on Thursday.

Actually, re the hair, I remember going to Jersey zoo, the one in the English Channel, a New Guinea Pink Pigeon kept trying to give me bits of straw through the glass, I think it thought I had a nest on my head.

The Midnight Special!  I would sneak back downstairs to the basement rec room to watch that!  Or, if I was lucky, could have a slumber party and stay awake to watch it!

You and I are twinsies! Over The Edge was one of my favorite movies and it so perfectly reflected being a kid back in them thar days. Is it any wonder we turned into The Grunge Generation. :D
