What do you miss the most ... from the 70's

[zoic]

Well I was taking a ride down memory lane looking through some old pictures. You know the kind you took with your Kodak camera that had the little square blocks you put on top to get a flash. That got me to thinking about what I miss the most. Lets face it, we all had a favorite car at some point, mine was a 71 Olds Cutlass.

But what I really miss the most I think was my original copy of the limited edition of "High Times Encyclopedia of Recreational Drugs". I had notations and dog eared pages and I spent many hours looking at the book. The sad part is that I loaned it to a friend (thought he was anyway) and he abruptly moved out to Edmonton to get in on the big job boom. I never saw it again.

So, Boyd Bradley, where ever you are, you are a fucking lowlife thief. Jeez that felt good.

I'm Boyd Bradley. I still use your book each week. I think about you and laugh my ass off each time. I never really liked you, but no hard feelings. Sucker...

LOL, I have to admit this was not a response I expected. I should have known someone would try that.

Oh! I forgot to ask what you miss the most about the 70's ..... or are you still there.

those dirty teen chicks, everywhere man, belly buttons and faded jeans, long untamed hair, their smell of sweat, dope and patchouli and the perpetual boners they engendered, a great time to be a kid looking up. I still see 'em today- new ones and and old ones too and they're fucking hot l. I met one in hs my age and made her my first wife. still even. we old now, hippies rock!

Towne club soda! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towne_Club

I was pretty young, but I remember going to the "pop store" with my parents and running around the huge stacks of cases of pop picking out different flavors. Loved that stuff.

Towne club pop is still around, but not sold anywhere I can find near me.

...But what I really miss the most I think was... pharmaceutical Recreational Drugs.

I love how one of the advertised benefits of Quaalude-300 in that clipping is:

"Now, the physician has one less tired, sleepy and apprehensive patient to contend with."

That Quaalude ad is awesome .. wish I had some. Different world.
But the best thing about the seventies was the music, comon.
Cars were shitty and undependable, no internet, and pussy was way too bushy.
Not that I'm old enough to remember. Childhood amnesia isn't a bad thing.

I miss the family members that was there then, and that is not here now.

I miss my 72' cutless, 71 grand prix, 73 Monte Carlo, 74 ltd (not much) .

I do not miss my 74 F100, 79 Granada, 76 mustang 2, 79 Accord ( can't believe I survived that POS )

Most fun for the money 73 gremlin 25$ .

Pussy was definitely bushy.

I MISS THREE FINGER NICKEL BAGS

Lets face it, the seventies were the best decade for music. The list of good songs is almost non-exhaustive. I doubt I could pick just one as my favorite.
