That’s pretty much been the pattern for at least the last almost half-century that I’ve been involved if you just replace “Trump” with “Republican.” The game is rigged and the only way to win a rigged game is not to play.

Not to mention the fact that it isn’t weird that Biden is doing it at all. The left, progressives etc. have a very long history of being 100% in support of protectionist trade policies. He just wants us to forget that because it doesn’t support his agenda.

When I was like 19 I had a job delivering pizza in Scottsdale, AZ. There was this one regular customer who lived in a 4-plex apartment that had cinder block privacy walls with wooden gates around the front doors of the units. It was about 10 or 12 paces from the gate to the door. Like I said, this guy was a regular, but when newbies got the order for the first time, everyone in the store would kinda giggle and smirk and warn you not to look back as you were walking to the gate on the way to your car. The guy would always come to the door in a robe, pay you and tip really well. However, if you were a guy, while you were walking toward the gate to get back to your car, he'd stand in the doorway and wack off watching you. Female drivers he just paid and ignored. There really are some strange ones out there.

We all thought we'd live forever. Getting old sucks. rip brother. See ya soon.

Story but the Mexican claims that cartels are sending people into US gun shops to purchase strictly semi-automatic civilian versions of military style weapons literally reek of bullshit. With their criminal connections cartels could and likely do easily obtain selective fire military versions on the international market, and do so at a better price. Hell, REAL AK 47s, M-16s, and a wide variety of other military arms are ubiquitous and cheap on international markets. There’s no need to buy the civilianized versions from gun dealers.

Every time they get to the line, "if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all," it reminds me of this classic:

Wunerful wunerful wunerful.

Absolutely one of the best movies of the 70s. Also, back in those days it was a bit difficult to get my dad to go out and do things like see a movie. This is one of only 2 movies I ever convinced he and mom to come out and see with me, on my dime, of course. Up to his dying day you could occasionally find my dad quoting his favorite Jackie Gleason line from this one and laughing hi ass off. His favorite line? This one: On another related topic, in those days I lived East of the Mississippi where it was illegal to sell Coors beer. Everyone used to talk the stuff up like it was the frickin Nectar of the Gods or something. Well, we moved out west in 79 and I finally got the chance to try it. Why ANYONE would go to the trouble, expense and risk to smuggle that piss water is beyond me!

And for my part I may have overreacted a bit. Apologies for that. And I agree with you on the drone bit. I was hoping to see that too. But overall, I did still find the vid interesting and entertaining, and was really hoping that somebody around here could add some pertinent info. Like I said, I'd never heard of "Mel's Hole" and I get a kick out of these kinds of mysteries. Would get an even bigger kick if one of these damn videos or TV shows actually DID explain the damn things tho! Cheers brother.

Holy shit! Why the hell are you guys so uptight about one stupid video? It's no better or worse than hundreds of "unexplained phenomenon" shows aired on TV over the years. I'd never heard of this "Mel's Hole," but I HAVE heard of Art Bell so I figured maybe somebody else had heard about it. Most likely just another yarn spun by some nutcase, but no worse than innumerable tales about Big Foot, the Bermuda Triangle, the Loch Ness Monster and on and on. Lighten up, will ya?

Just thought it was interesting. Apparently you didn't. To each his own.

“Maybe the guy’s a Republican.”

Back on track, here’s another fave of mine from the 70s:

Yarite.. Next he’ll be complain’ about Oww! My Balls!

You got something against asses? Don’t be a ‘tard.

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet:

I know we've basically been focusing on TV shows, but I don't suppose including a movie or two from the 70s will hurt. My favorite war movie of all time, from 1970:

Since nobody else seems to be biting I'll take a swing at this and guess that one of the faves you're alluding to would be Mork and Mindy.

Bob Newhart was awesome. Wasn’t Hec Ramsey crammed in there somewhere for a little while?

I know, right?

You mean this one? Directed by Steven Spielberg no less.

McCloud, with Dennis Weaver.

ROTFL! "We need another VietNam to thin out their ranks a little." ROTFL! Classic.

I used to believe this but then, well … look around.

Another good one. So far every show was one my family watched regularly. Space 1999 Moving On Kung Fu (of course) Rockford Files

Ok, you sucked me in. I NEVER missed an episode of this one. My hands down favorite 70s TV show ever, bar none.

What? No more Kolchak fans?

It’s one of my faves too. I rewatch it every now and then when I’m feeling nostalgic for the 70s.
