I think DQ is talking about Granny.

No not that one! She looks like she could have gotten two scoops of coffee ice cream (Breyer's) in a sugar cone with jimmies for a total cost of 22 cents!

oh wait.

I see the GREAT and original Fatman in the center

I may just win the trophy for this:

Going to the neighborhood candy store at 59th and Woodcrest Ave.and getting two scoops of coffee ice cream (Breyer's) in a sugar cone with jimmies.

Total cost......22 cents. (1o cents per scoop and a penny each for the cone and jimmies, would have been 21 cents with a regular cone)

You win.

Because your definition of Jimmies predates my definition…

And my Jimmie runs deep, so deep
So deep put 3I’s momma butt to sleep
Woke her up around one
She didn't hesitate, to call DQ the top gun
Drove her to the pad and I'm coastin'
Took another sip of the potion, hit the three-wheel motion

And the Breyer's was made in Philly, with three ingredients.

And their gallon was a real gallon

This one's for The Duck.....................................

When movies were advertised with the tag line, "no one admitted in the final 15 minutes" so that they would not see the shocking finale of the film.

i.e. Psycho or Gaslight as examples.

[Cheesesteak]

my only entertainment options were channels 3, 6 and 10.

don't forget 17, 29 and 48 on the VHF

How about the movie billed as the most horrifying film of all time - they handed out barf bags!

Piling into the car and driving to 69th street in Upper Darby to get some 15 cent hamburgers at Geno’s.

Good God were those things awful, but we were young, stupid and pretty much broke. Was no surprise when Geno’s got steamrolled by McDonalds and their 19 cent burger. Also pretty awful, but still superior to the original.

That's a little before my time, but I've got a good movie one: PORNO DRIVE-INS

They were very short-lived, but around 1981-82, driving past the Lincoln Drive-In off the Boulevard was the highlight of my trips to Atlantic City.

Ha ha.....that’s great. Forgot about that, coming from West Philly I rarely got up to the far Northeast.

i did however, see The Longest Day at the Lincoln Drive-In

There was one outside of Ithaca back in the day when I was going to school there. My girlfriend/first wife and I went there once.

There was an “artsy” theater in Ithaca (of course) in those days as well. We went there to see the movie Caligula, the Bob Guccione one (is there another?). Now we were a pretty open minded couple, bit we walked out of the theater half an hour into the movie, probably fifteen minutes later than we should.

Speaking of old, can you guess which former poster is still an unemployed and unemployable grifter - I mean, independent author and business consultant - all these years later? Not having to answer to the man means he can do his laundry every Sunday in blessed peace and finally master basic Algebra.
