Posted: 11/20/08 at 9:27amOh wow, that was awesome. My mom caught me doing it once; then later that day she found a bag of pot I had stashed away. It was a red letter day!

The 70's had some good music though. I'm sure mom's are still sneaking around on their sons even in this age of enlightment.
I always allowed my sons their privacy. All I asked of them was that if they wanted to drink to please drink at home and if they were going to smoke pot to ask one of their uncles to get it for them, I didn't want them getting sick on bad pot.
I may not know a lot about theater but I know that I love it.

I think the 70's was when I caught my parents having sex!
I loved the 70's. 70's and 80's were my two favorite decades, fun-wise.
I mean c'mon-DISCO!

"I'll be sure to knock next time, ok?"
Yeah Mom, that would be fabulous. So now, every time you knock, I know you're knocking because you think I can't stop playing with myself.
The 70s contributed so many wonderful things including great art, music, theatre and films, but somehow managed to be the worst fashion decade in history. The fashion and decor of the 70s was absolutely repulsive and I can't wait for the 70s revival to finally END. Why would anyone want to relive that crap?

"[Gore] was widely perceived as arrogant. If you know something, you're not smart. You're a smarty-pants. It's annoying. People get annoyed with your knowledge. It goes back to high school, to not doing your homework ... 'There's something I should know, I don't know why I should know it but someone knows it and I don't. So I'm going to have to make fun of him now.'"

Were the seventies so militantly anti-wall decoration?
I kept expecting the mom to say "I simply must get that recipe"

We are, but we're approaching an odd decade, so we'll have a 70s/90s revival before we know it. The 70s nostalgiaized the 50s, the 80s the 60s, the 90s the 70s, etc.
#11re: Yes, the 70s really were this creepy.
Posted: 11/20/08 at 12:03pmWe're just at the dawn of the 80s revival. The 70s is still lingering, much to my dismay. Ick.

You're right about the 70's clothes and decor. It seems there were only three colors......orange, brown and olive, if I remember correctly. Did someone say the eighties are coming back?I'm not sure which decades were involved but I'd love to see the Art Deco era come back.

Hell, my Mother painted the whole kitchen red, white and navy blue. Including a 'target on the antique, round dinner table.
My dad was pissed.
But not as pissed as when he found a homemade dildo in the bathtub after I took a bath. Try explaining THAT away.

It was plaster.
Shaped like a penis.
No hiding what THAT was.

Yep '76 was the bicentennial baby!!! It was all about the red, white and blue. Like everyone else said the fashion was horrible, except for tube tops creeping up, awesome!!!
The music in that video was kinda creepy although if that were me, Janis Ian or Joni Mitchell would have been on blast. I'm pretty sure my mom and I would have had to have the "other talk" by then. MMMM good times *warm&fuzzy*.
Diva I must say you never cease to amaze/shock me!!! LMMFAO!!!!!!

Posted: 11/20/08 at 3:00pmRemember that rock groupie, Cynthia Plaster Caster? She used to do plaster casts of famous rock star's penis's. The main one I remember was Jimi Hendrix. He was supposedly very well endowed.

Joe - I remember star-spangled everything in 75 and 76. By 77, we had Star Wars and finally let go of the bicentennial. Sci-Fi was on the rise and everything had that "computerized" font, including Space Mountain, which was supposed to remind you of trips to the moon. Around the same time, NASA changed its logo to a more modern design, quickly followed by OMNI magazine, which used the same font as NASA.
Diva - Did your father confront before or after his bath?
I remember the weirdest things.
