You know... there are motors ... that do that for you...
Had a cat that would do this... unexpectedly... felt like getting hit with a pillow with knife blades in it going 90 and scared the hell out of me every time. In retrospect, Macavity may have just been living up to his name.
Everyone jokes about "Mitochondria", but forgets the practical things you learned like "Cold glass and Hot glass look exactly the same...."
It's no Panthermobile....
"Do you have a moment to talk about Clowndrew Lloyd Webber and his Holy Book of Cats?"
A while back there was the web comic "By Crom!" where Conan is a spiritual advisor to an angsty millennial ( https://www.wealdcomics.com/?page_id=690 )
And you know at some point someone has tried to suggest that this should be added to the summer olympics...
Just *one* allergy sneeze?
My Friend: "Come on over and lets play a board game with a rule book longer than "Lord of the Rings" that I've been playing for months and I'll try to explain it to you in five minutes and expect you to be on the same level as me...."

Had a 76 Mustang. Pale shadow of the original...
Back in the day an Estes rocket or a Guillow balsa model was ten bucks and a Saturday afternoon of work ( Saturday and Sunday if you wanted to do a nice job ). Losing them to a tree was no hard loss and you'd laugh it off. Todays versions now have the cost and complexity of a mid sized car - for starters.
And if you can use the plane agai... oh...
"Saturday Night Fever" came out in 1977 so Disco was big at this time, especially on the AM pop stations. If you had an FM radio you might hear some of the seeds of the 80's. This was also the time when the Sex Pistols were punking it up in London.
I come from an age and place where it wasn't even "smoking or non smoking?"... it was "where's your ashtray?". Non-smokers were uncommon. I'm glad it's changed.
Sept = 7, September is 9th month. Oct = 8, October 10th month. Nov = 9, Dec = 10. We have Julius and Augustus Caesar sticking their names in to account for this. Also January to June is a mishmash of misheard names of gods of various pantheons. Chaos Conventionalized.
Floof and Teefs
Lucozade - it's what cats crave
I remember after "Phantom Menace" came out, for years after the toy stores had shelves of unsold merchandise. My neighbor had a box of Queen Amidala Barbies she picked up for something like $20.
There are less expensive hobbies.... collecting vintage Ferraris, knitting with gold....
"If not Friend... why Friend Sh....."- Famous Last Words
1999 also gave us "South Park", "The Iron Giant" and the under rated "Mystery Men"
"Hey can you help me fix my computer?""Yeah, let me take a look at.... " ( it's a purple IMac )" Yep. Nope... yer screwed... "Those things were not ever meant to be repaired. Looked cool though... will give them that...
My theory is cheap, unsold Halloween chocolate gets melted down to be reformed into cheap Christmas chocolate, and unsold Christmas chocolate becomes Valentines day chocolate, then Easter chocolate.... and the cycle continues...
