Fountain pens with the cartridges that leaked all over your shirt.
Had pneumonia in the '50s and after the doctor came to the house he called for a portable Xray machine and they took the picture while I was lying in my own bed.

A. Charley Weaver: Three days of steady drinking should do it.

Have you ever watched any of the Allen Millyard YouTube videos? He almost always features his mechanical Charley Weaver in every one. And I think all of his videos should be required to be watched by everyone in the world, because then it would be a calmer place.

Flip up rear facing seats in the back of the station wagon.

My brother and I would do this as kids, and on nighttime rides home, we would sit in the footwell and watch the reflections off of the tailgate window, and we called it a "movie" lol

Pardon me if this has already been posted. I remember saying the pledge of allegiance to America in school every morning with my right hand crossed upon on my hearts. Also the daily civil defense drill. Which may be coming back here soon

My son bought a box of tools at a yard sale a couple years ago. He sent me a picture of the spout wanting to know what it was. BTW he's 38. Some things have improved.

Well, if it's on the Internet, doesn't that mean it's always true?

It is! And, the internet say's I'm tall, dark and handsome!

those aren't nearly as old as beer cans that required a can opener, remember those? I was just a young kid, but I remember my dad opening them.

I think the oil cans made it into the early '80s, the beer cans were done by the early '60s.

That guy is an absolute legend. What he can do with a hack saw and a BBQ grill is beyond amazing.
