The worst show I ever witnessed was at Starwood. It was Dave Matthews during his prime. He had a broken rib and had to sit in a chair. The place was dead. My girlfriend and I (wife a bit later) sat out in an almost empty grass area and just casually talked over the music. Nobody around us. We wound up leaving early.

Not that I'm a Dave fan mind you. It was just a chance to see some live music. No bueno.

I saw Meatloaf there right after Bat Out if He’ll 2 came out, but the show was 1 mostly.  One of the best concerts I ever saw.

About 1/2 those NFL team have different logos now and three aren't in those cities any longer.

Or exist at all. And Daisy isn't hot in tiny shorts anymore

The Dukes will always live in Hazzard, but about that second part . . . .

I think I got that lunchbox in the 1st grade.  
 

I think technically four.  Chargers, Raiders, Oilers moved and the Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens.  Then a new Browns team was started.  It also sucked. 
 

ETA:  make that five - the Colts were still in Baltimore.

LOL! I was counting the Browns but totally forgot the Raiders had moved.

You're right about the Colts too. That lunchbox is from 1976 and the Colts left after the '83 season.

And nose rings. Yesterday, a young lady at Firehouse Subs had one, and apparently it blocked the sound to her ears considering she screwed up the order.

You'd think that since it looks like maple syrup it'd taste good, but it's not as good as the one with pig on the label.

I remembered that they were glue bottles but can’t remember what kind of glue.

I spent a LOT of my weekly allowances at the TG&Y store during my childhood. Last thing that I bought there was a real leather first baseman's glove. I had it for years, but somehow it didn't make it through all of our moves.

Way back in the day, I blew pretty much every penny I could find on model airplanes at TG&Y.  WW2 fighters in 1/48 scale were my biggest weakness.

I remember spending lots and lots of Lincolns, Roosevelts, Jeffersons, Washingtons at the Ben Franklin. I had the largest, well equipped little green army in my neighborhood. Even had a balsa wood air force. Good times!

I think that was the glue. iirc it would harden sealing the slit in the rubber top and would need to be reopened with a knife or pair of scissors. Good times

Ah, good ol’ Ben Franklin. I had many of those little green army men.  Most ended up succumbing to the bic lighter.

$1 for a bag of 100 men.  Great war games with firecrackers and BB guns.  I left divisions of these in the dirt at every childhood home.

The short Lincoln Log pieces were my mortar rounds, which I launched from a Lincoln Log-made see-saw.  One accurate shot could wipe out a whole platoon of green men.
