from the link:
the book "We Never Went to the Moon, America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle" by Bill Kaysing, a former U.S. Naval Officer
also, from the link: "In 1980, The Flat Earth Society accused Nasa of faking the landings, arguing that they were staged by Hollywood with Walt Disney sponsorship"
and " opinion polls in various locations showed that between 6 and 20% of Americans, 25% of Britons and 28% of Russians believed that the crewed landings were faked"

I never understood the screaming young girls do about that kind of thing. Its a rock and roll band, yet you lose control like that? They say you could barely hear the music when they played for all the screaming girls.

It started with Frank Sinatra 1940s. In the beginning it was staged, they had girls planted in the audience that started screaming and it caught on like wildfire. Then they did it for Elvis and then the Beatles on their own. At a Sinatra event in New York City they would have a couple ambulances outside the theater and attendents inside to help girls that got too carried away. That was also a publicity stunt.

one of the greatest scenes of all time from the movies imho - before my time but I saw it on video - Rod Steiger and Marlon Brandon
"you was my brother Charlie you should have looked out for me a little bit so I didn't have to take them dives for the short end money. I could have had class. I could have been somebody. I could have been a contender. Instead of a bum. Which is what I am."
and in the 2nd vid Terry Molloy confronts the Big Boss Johnny Friendly played by Lee J. Cobb and tells him -
"You think you're God almighty but you know what you are? You're a cheap, lousy, dirty stinkin mug. And I'm glad what I done to you. You hear that. I'm glad what I done."

Forget the recliner, put all your effort into losing weight. As you get older it will be the greatest gift you've ever given yourself. Extra weight as you get older will affect you and slow you down and will make your life miserable in ways you can't even imagine. I'll be 75 next month and I've got about 22 lb to go before I'm at my ideal weight of about 170 and I'm hell bent to get there because every pound makes a difference. I want to die eventually a skinny old man.

I would guess tha165 is probably my ideal weight. I have been between 160 and 170ish for about 15 years. Sadly I am creeping back up towards the 170 number again.

I have heard that weight gain in your 30s and 40s is a nature defense mechanism as after your late 50s you tend to lose about a pound a year unless you are they type to force feed yourself. Also don't lose muscle. I lost probably 20 pounds of muscle when I was laid up 2 years back. I am now back to near my old weight. But I look back at how weak I was and amazing I was able to function at all.

I dislike agreeing, but this is probably good advice.
I picked up about 12 pounds since going back to work after surgery, and I feel woefully sluggish.
Self-motivation to exercise is lacking, and I just hate wasting the generous food comps.

I always tell people you don't think 10 lb is much? Next time you're in the grocery store pick up a 10 lb bag of sugar and carry it around for about 5 minutes. That's what you're doing to your body with just 10 extra pounds, imagine what you're doing with 50 or 80 extra pounds. Especially if you're over 40.

From what I read that is not the case.
I was on a Spirit flight yesterday and the rows are definitely close. I am of average height, 5'10" and it was plenty of room for me but would definitely be tight for taller people.

When I had the bar in Santa Barbara in 1980 I had the games Ms Pac-Man and Space Invaders and I made a ton of money off of them. They were always being played, especially Space Invaders. I could play them for nothing and they bored the crap out of me.

Yep. The video machines were all profit because I owned them outright. The pool table and the Jukebox I had to lease because they needed to be constantly serviced. The pool table had to be recovered like every 6 weeks which was hugely expensive but it was part of the lease agreement. Even then I made hundreds of dollars a week off the pool table. Those quarters add up fast in a neighborhood bar when there's nothing else to do except play pool and video games. Some days the Space Invader game would go for 8 or 10 hours straight of constant use. And because they were usually playing for money which was illegal, LOL, the pool table was always going. The pool table was 50 cents a game which doesn't sound like much, but remember gas was still under a dollar a gallon and a pack of cigarettes was around 50 cents.

Like every bar in Pittsburgh had those and not just bars. I knew a guy had a deli sort of a subway way back. Said the machines were what made profit the rest barely broke even. Every few months the state troopers would raid a place just for show.
Today we have “PA games of skill” which they appear to be a glorified slot machine. I mean just do like NV and have restricted gaming licenses already. Put in real machines.

In the late seventies early '80s these video games were so popular because they were brand new, the technology was new.

And the more beers you had the more you played. I had a cloth bag under the bar that had nothing in it but rolls of quarters because people bought them from me all the time, entire rolls to put in the machines.

The whole thing was kind of weird because I would sell them the quarters and then they would give the quarters back to me. I had to roll them up myself and I had a machine that spun them around and would produce $10 in quarters and all I had to do was insert the stack into a tube roll and sell them again Still a pain in the ass. Because they were my machines I never reported this as profit which of course was illegal. I did have to report the money from the cigarette machine the Jukebox and the pool table because they leased. I never got audited in the three and a half years I was there but I think I would have gotten in trouble eventually.

Imagine if you had shorted a quarter per roll
I watched a number of people paying a dollar a song to hear something on the jukebox (two dollars a song if they wanted playlist priority), other people playing darts (again, coin-op), and others playing pool.
The amusements are still out there, but the prices seem to have been updated.
(Nobody was playing the claw machine or the 8-liners. Only occasional play on the pulltabs.)
how many remember summers before air conditioning_____________?
I don't - although I lived thru it - but I was too young to remember it
but I do remember when movie theaters had big signs that read:
"Come in - it's cool inside"
that was a big selling point for movie theaters because as late as the mid 60s a great many people didn't have air conditioning in their residences

I don't - although I lived thru it - but I was too young to remember it
but I do remember when movie theaters had big signs that read:
"Come in - it's cool inside"
that was a big selling point for movie theaters because as late as the mid 60s a great many people didn't have air conditioning in their residences

60s? In my parts if you had central AC in the 80s you were rich!

Where I grew up in Ohio no one had central air. I think the houses were too old.
