original gangstas - one of the greatest movies of all time imho

at 7:03 the cop says a very dirty word - the movie is from '61 - I didn't think they ever used language like that in the movies at that time

the popular Dick Van Dyke show had to show separate twin beds for husband and wife

the censors would not allow the filming of husband and wife in the same bed on TV

My wife and I always get two beds when we stay at a hotel. It is a treat to have a bed to myself as usually it is shared with at least one wife and two large dogs.

I knew my family was poor since my parents could only afford to sleep in one bed. The Ricardos were married in real life but slept in two beds on their show. The Mertzs were not married in real life, but slept in the same bed in at least one episode.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.

As someone who is kicked in the kidneys until dawn by ferocious daughters (when they're in range), this is highly appealing.
I often go off to one of their beds when they invade.

Not a problem when I'm travelling. Blissful solitude, and no reading light left on.
May the cards fall in your favor.

I hear "you punks", what do you hear?
The Dice, the cards, they not only have no sense of justice but are seemingly endowed with a sense of cruel irony. This devolves from the 'nature of random'. Ironically, don't you see.

don't want to say what I actually hear because my understanding is I can get suspended for "masking" even if I don't write it exactly
I'll just let it go

I recall when gas cost 1/15th of what it does today, and full size candy bars were a nickel.

Remember when your folks went into a car dealer, sat down with a salesman and ordered the specific options for their new car?

The order was sent to Detroit and it was spec built to their exact specifications.

These days that doesn't seem to be the norm: heck, is it even possible, or must you at best settle for option packages?

Depends on the model. Pickup trucks still somewhat common to spec order since there are so many options and buyers may have particular needs. Cars like Corvette same deal same reason.

More common cars? I was pricing Tucsons once. You put I. Your specs snd it looked to see if what you wanted was available so call that a hybrid of special order and buy from stock.

There are YouTube videos on how to special order so it goes still happen.
