We are Brad & Jon both considered Generation X (1965-1980) also known as GEN X. However we were born 10 years (a decade) apart and Brad being born in the United States, Jon in England (an ocean apart). Reacting to music, nostalgia stuff, taking trivia / quizzes to see how a decade & ocean apart makes a difference in Generation X.
Dang it! I never got a notice about this update. I simply got curious enough about why I haven't heard anything to decide to search for you guys. RU-vid is so idiotic. When algorithms and AI make decisions, common sense goes out the window. I hope you guys are able to get things straightened out.
The whistle is if there for, if a group people survive and float in the Ocean, the can whistle so they can hear were the other people are and get together, a 10 or 30 people by each other are more likely to been seen from a plane and scare the sharks away.
I was born in 1981, I used collect Master of The Universe Action figures, I lterally has the whole collection...if i took care of them now they would be worth thousands. I also was huge Michael Jackson fan and had his red jacket and cloves, and his little dolls...he was the king of the music industry, i remember how popular music videos were, the Advent of MTV and music videos the golden Era of music. Such extraordinary time to be a child...i became a kid and a high school teenager in the 1990's. My cousin who is like a brother collected Thunder Cats. We would trade toys so I can play with the Thunder Cats and he can play with my Master Of The Universe toys.
The best part is that they kept in a lot of the ad libs. Tim Conway always did it, and in the scene when Mama yells insults, Carol Burnett hadn't heard those ones before.
REMEMBER WHEN THE AIRWAVES SHUT DOWN AT NIGHT AND ALL WE’D GOTTEN WAS WHITE NOISE FROM THE TELEVISION..EVEN THOUGH WE DID NOT HAVE A LOT THE 70s AND 80S WERE THE BEST TIMES IN AMERICA. I ABSOLUTELY HATE THESE WHINING ENTITLED MILLENNIALS AND GEN-ZERS EVEN THOUGH I CAN TOLERATE SOME OF THE GEN ZERS THEY ARE NOT AS BAD.
Ferry across the the Mersey … nope nothing to do with a Ferry disaster … it was on the soundtrack of a movie of the same name … you may be getting it mixed up when it was re-released in 1989 as a charity record to aid those affected by the Hillsborough Disaster when 95 Liverpool football fans lost their lives …
Good stuff. If you would like to watch more Bill Engvall (without signs), check out: - Bill Engvall tries Marijuana (part 1) - Bill Engvall and the rest of the marijuana story (part 2) 😂😂
Smokey and the Bandit had relatively mild cussing, actually, and if released today, might warrant a PG-13 rating, at most. There were no obvious F-bombs, with the closest being Sheriff Bufford T. Justice (Jacky Gleason) saying it, but a truck horn drowning him out (to prevent an R rating), The Bandit (Burt Reynolds) saying, "Do the letters F.O. mean anything to you?" and Kerry (Sally Field) flipping off a cop.
You think that the Queen Vic is in Coronation Street and that Nando's serves 'Indian food'? Are you sure you're British? lol. :) I've never eaten at Nando's and I don't watch soaps but even I knew those were wrong. Love them or loathe them, both are staples of British culture. :)
Comedy that's observational, satirical and based on our society or current fads, is always gonna make someone, somewhere a little chippy.. Offense is fine but keep it to if we're directly involved - 90% seems to be on behalf of someone else just to wield the stick at someone we don't agree with..
Still carry keys, Victorinox SwissChamp in a belt pouch, on sunny days i carry a sun compass and a sundial, a small coin purse, a small book with my bankcard and ID, and i still almost only wears cargo pants
Try checking out Dave Allen on Religion (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jxo81Ok9Urk.html), or his religious jokes compilation (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mYXenjpefNU.html) - due to his very strict Catholic upbringing in Ireland, he's now an atheist...!! 😁
My best friend has two brothers that are SEALS, They say the same thing, If somebody has to TELL you how much of a badass they are,,,,,,, They usually ain't lol
Gonna put in a comment for everything on this video that struck me personally: Never could afford polaroid film..i had my moms "brownie" I wish i still had those pictures. We had a huge snow storm in 1977 in dayton ohio...feet of snow...we were out a month (i was in 5th grade). I went to a catholic grade school, the parish priest would read out grades on report card day ...no one wanted a bad grade. As for restaurants ..that was something special...you didnt do it very often. We had a "party line" what a pain that was. I learned to type on a IBM Selectric in 8th grade. Best class i ever took bar none, its a skill i use daily for 45 years (Prayers for old Ms. Tiller who taught me), Learned cursive in 4th grade ...Sister Francis Mary ...she was a saint. Saturday morning cartoons, brady bunch, and the Wonderful World of Disney were the highlight of the week. Bicycles were my life from 5 yrs old until i was 12 ..then girls...
The thing is that these are NOT unacceptable, really. This is a mere figment, a false creation that can be ignored with relative ease. Heathers is one of my favourites, by the way. No one ever mentioned the similarities with the Columbine shootings. Now there's something to get offended over, real stuff. That set a trend.
How bout the times you ripped off your pinky nail when it got caught in the swing chains. I broke my arm 3 times…when I fell off the seesaw 6’ up in the air, when I feel while roller skating in the street (remember the adjustable metal skates that clamped onto your Ked’s?), and when I fell out of a tree I climbed to touch the electric line going to our house to see if I would get electrocuted. I remember damn near decapitating myself when I ran into the metal cable anchoring the antennae on the roof pedaling my bike around the yard. You cried, you ran home and got threatened w the mercurochrome, and decided you were fine after all and ran back outside for more. Picking the scabs off your knees and seeing who could get the whole thing off in one piece was a weekly contest. I still have scars.
They didn't mention the loss of merry go rounds where you would get it spinning and then everyone would jump off. Or getting the swing so high that the chain would go slack on the way down or you stood up on the seat and launched yourself off. We also explored a lot of construction sites and jumped off roofs into branches like tarzan.
I had colleagues who were all about offensive jokes and being politically incorrect. I am that 'leftie nice guy' or assumed to be. So I threw a joke at them that offended them. Fun part: I didn't say anything offensive unless you interpreted it as such. It's great to offend people who all about 'everyone's so easily offended'. It's not as hard as you might think. The 'politically incorrect' especially are melted snowflakes when you fire their weapons at them.
I was born in 1961 my young childhood. I rode my bike to the parks across town stayed out all day in the summertime. As long as I got home before dark mom didn’t worry about me. We played cops and robbers, Cowboys and Indians with sticks for guns if we didn’t have cat pistols. It was more fun with cat pistols. I love the smell of the cap going off the powder that was off smelled wonderful. We didn’t have cell phones. We didn’t have video games. There was no text messaging. If we wanted to talk to somebody we had to go to their house. Mom wouldn’t allow us to stay on the phone and talk to friends. I remember living in Austin Texas in the second grade and walking nearly 2 miles to go to the municipal pool and go swimming because it was free. Walk to school more than a mile from the first grade through the 12th grade. I started the first grade when I was five I graduated at the age of 17 so my entire time going through the school system. I was a minor and we were allowed to walk to school with no supervision unlike today. Kids today can’t even play in their own yards if they’re not supervised because some nosy neighbor will call the police and say the children are being neglected and child protective services will be called. You don’t see children riding bikes, hardly anymore you don’t see children going to the park alone or walking to school alone, the media other people want to put fear into everyone that there’s a pervert behind every bush. There are no more perverts today than they were when I was growing up. Everything is sensationalized now because we have the Internet anything that happens is put on the Internet almost immediately and goes around the world. When I was growing up you found things that happened in your hometown on the local news or in your local newspaper. I can go on the Internet and find out about what happened in Berlin yesterday if I want to. It was so much more when I was growing up. Life was so much more innocent. I never heard the F word until I was in high school. I didn’t know about sex until I was in high school and it was taught in my parenting classes. Now a little three year old four-year-old kids will give you the middle finger and give you the word it’s disgusting. I wish I could go back to the 60s and 70s.
