American Graffiti

[Monk]

Interesting. Last night I was trying to describe my youth to our massage lady (she's 23). Finally I asked if she had seen American Graffiti. She said yes. I said "You got it". Cool thing is that from then on we understood each other better. Truly, I was there but in the SE Michigan area.

Funny Dan...........I do the same thing.
American Graffiti was an accumulation of my high school years.
Playing pranks, drag racing, chasing the girls & always trying to
get a bottle of hooch.

The theme.......the guys last night before going to college and raising hell.......was the same
but back in my day it was guys last nights before going to boot camp or overseas.

I can remember raising seven kinds of hell the night before I left.

I find that a lot of kids don't get my generation until I apply the AG comparison. Then they usually seem to get it. I was the guy who got married the second year out of HS - for the usual reason. I was never a candidate for the priesthood, if you get my drift.

Did they find out you were bopping the Bishop?

[DanStokes]

Uh, no. In a few months I had ample proof that that was NOT my area of interest. We were old-fashioned and got married. The marriage was a disaster but the kid is amazing.

I read the celibacy clause and said 'no thanks'

I read the celibacy clause and said 'no thanks'

It's actually a "celebrate" clause, and got misspelled along the way...

Cute and fun, but Two Lane Blacktop is and was more my experience. Best film ever? Tombstone " Ah got two guns', one for each of ya"

When Doc and The Kid face off, that was amazing ...

"What the hell are you playin'?"

Doc: "Frederick f@%$#king Chopin."

YES! 23... By the time they are 24, they are on disability...

Times change. Back then and when the movie was made it was OK for an adult to cruise around until dawn with a 13 year old girl in the car. Now, you'd end up in jail and on a list for such things.
