You know, I keep telling people how like hell the Seventies were, but I don't think they fully understand what those of us alive then survived through. This site may help.

I loved this:
"I showed this card to a friend who said, "What the hell's in that bowl-- bong water?!"
Brings back memories.
Posted by: mary at April 5, 2003 at 11:25 AMI tried to keep my eyes shut through most of the 70s; my father, in an act of unsurpassed cruelty, bought me a leisure suit (he was a salesman, though, so we must try to understand), but I want it to be understood that I never wore it.
I did once own a pair of striped bell-bottom pants, though. None of us survived unscarred.

And sideburns.
But I'm all better now.

C'mon 80s....we're waiting for you...
