WRESTLER PROFILES

"Gorgeous George. The name is synonymous with the sport of Professional Wrestling, for it was Gorgeous George who caused it to flourish as a nationwide spectacle on network television. The Gorgeous One's influence has been felt by atheletes from Muhammed Ali to Ric Flair and should continue to be felt in the future."

Photos and Bios

"He so infuriated wrestling fans that he often caused riots, including one in which several fans were injured and at least one was stabbed.. At the same time, he was so compelling as an attraction, he was once appeared in a movie called "Alias the Champ." More important to his career, the sport, and the survival of television. Whenever attendance figures at local auditoriums or ratings on television would start to drop, Gorgeous George would be brought in to stir things up on a local or national basis."

“....you watch the Amazing Race and realize that the last time you were in Shanghai was 1985-- way before the skyscrapers on the show even existed....”

“You remember when gas was .19 per gallon.

You got tatoos older than most of your hiking (and scuba diving for me) buddies.

You tell your friends you went to Woodstock... back before they needed to number them.

I could go on and on...

Peace Out,

Capt. Jim”

“...so this man was by his father's bedside, when a nurse came in, and gave his father Viagra and a cup of hot chocolate. The son asked incredulously, "What are those for?". The nurse says, "The hot chocolate is to help him sleep...and the Viagra is to keep him from rolling off the bed."”

“You're old if you brought a typewriter to college....

You're old if you remember rotary dial phones (and not as a novelty item)

“Pink, my first pair of roller skates in the 70's was exactly that.
No helmet, either.
Yes on the typewriter. I won it in high school in 1989, my senior year.
Yes we had rotary dial phones when I was little too.
Nope, I had bellbottoms is the 70's when I was about 6.
I was always wince when I hear any form of Led Zepplin.”

“LOL :-)

Treebait--
It's even funnier, when you hear music from the 80s (and sometimes 90s) being played on an "oldies" station....

To me, oldies was (and always will be) music from the 1950s!”

“Ah, but was your typewrite manual or electric?!


You know you're old when you remember your mom bringing home a "teletyper"-- essentially a modem/printer and glorified typewriter... you put the handset of your phone into a special slot and dialed up the mainframe computer.... a pre-cursor to the internet-- you could actually get some info from the mainframe and it would type out all of the text.... (no monitors) :-)”

Wow I must be old. We had a rotary phone when I was a kid, and we didn't even get touch-tone service in my house until about 10 years ago. Got to love Upstate New York. Living here sometimes feels like I've gone back in time.”

“Your old if you always wanted a five-speed bike.
(with a Motor-riffic)”

“Who you calling OLD!?!?





I've got to go rewind my 8 track, be back in a minute.”

No, but I did have a portable reel to reel.

Hog On Ice

Didn't do it myself but watched it being done.
How about tring to figure out the programing problem by looking at the spagetti on the wire board. Or whatever it was called.”

“Did anyone here have "party lines?" Wow! That's old! And I could type 30 WPM on a manual typewriter. The other students looked at me with awe. LOL

You know you're old if your senior class song was [i]Freebird[i]. And I like Led Zepplin... although I haven't listened to them in years... many, many years.... hmmmmmm... maybe it's the nestalgia that I like. Heee, heeee!”

“Yes, we had a partyline. Shared the line with one other home. If it rang twice, it was for us. Also, remember when the first TV came into our home--black & white with rabbit ears.”

“We had a party line at our summer house in Upstate NY -- and this was 1984!

(Lumberzac wasn't kidding...)”

“At my place of work, we're still using three rotary phones, plus two push-buttons. The phone company keeps on trying to get us to get rid of the rotary's....because sometimes they mess up their computers.

About a month ago, we had two new young employees that started.....they didn't know how to dial with the rotary's....good humour at their expense.

Our family had rollerskates with metal wheels....and about a year ago, I threw out my old skateboard with the metal wheels.”

“You were in Naviguessers class because you flunked a year.”

“Pink stop it! I am not old enough to be old and I remember almost everything you've mentioned, including velvet peanut butter. Knock it off! ;)”

“The phonograph had a crank handle for rotating the record.”

“Your car had "push-button transmission"”

“Civil Defense drills
Wednesday noon. The air-raid sirens would sound (to test)”

“so Sassafras how many gray hairs do you pluck per week hmmmmm ????”

“pink sugar cubes for immunizations”

“movie "palaces"
Drive-ins
Roller Derby”

“None HOI, I leave them there and I'm not dying my hair. But I'm not old!”

“I remember when the biggest thing I used to wish, hope and pray for was for my pubes to start growing. Now I wish, hope and pray that the hair on my back and ears will quit growing.”

“I remember all of those.

Remember visiting a neighbor who had a stocked 'shelter' in their basement. Also, one of our garbage cans was a recycled Civil Defense water barrel.”

“Sass-- For some reason I remembered the little guy on the Velvet peanut butter, Fresh! Pure! Delicious...

Wasn't the 1st pic a devilish looking face, the 2nd one, an angel face and the last, the guy was licking his lips?

I had no idea that it was a Detroit product, until, just for fun, I decided to look it up on the Net yesterday!

Not that this makes us old, but did you ever get a chance to visit the Hudson's Building in Detroit, when it was still operating? My mom used to work downtown, and we went there one time for lunch or an ice cream...

All I remember was that they had those old-fashioned elevators with the metal grates, that you had to swing open and closed on each floor... and that the bathrooms had "mini toilets" for the kiddies...

Of course, it's now been replaced (for several years) by the Compuware building and a parking lot.... IT's too bad they couldn't save the Hudson's building-- it was really beautiful inside!


Oh... Hey...

How about this....

You know you're old, when you REMBMBER Hudson's in the Detroit area, and you still call Marshall Field's by it's old name, "Hudson's".... LOL”

“listening to Black Sabbath now and you realize that they really were great then and are even greater now.”
