Love the fake faces and two heads jacked in. The facade made it cooler though.

BTW my amps were really loud but not arena rock loud.

I had a Super Reverb but it was a repro. All tube like the original and sounded great but not a 60s vintage. Kinda heavy too. The one that killed me though I didn't buy. My guitar pusher asked me to move an amp for him once as a gag. It was a vintage Twin. With JBL speakers which add weight. It was probably about 100 pounds. I DID move it and he was impressed. I just hid how hard it was. And now no chance. It would live where ever it was placed.

... when you remember Gramps telling you to eat your vegetables (or whatever) because they would put hair on your chest.
Does that reason fly anymore?

I guess I was on the wrong side of the tracks( that phrase is in itself a clue to age), we never had anything fancy like that. The closest I remember is the test car with the paint shot to demonstrate braking distance.

Remember the weeds. They can grow like zombies, and you need something like this to keep them in check.

Of course. My man, you always make me realize things I had overlooked previously.

Am I the only person who refuses to get old by shredding the weekly unsolicited AARP membership offers, stuffing them back into their reply envelopes, and sending them back?

Sorry AARP, but I'm still a Toys 'R Us kid...who knows how to stay off other people's lawns.....

AARP started sending me stuff before I turned 50. Pissed me off. I don't send the pieces back but I still take pleasure in tearing them to shreds.

This. Even when they try to hide it, I know an AARP envelope. Our recycle bin is between the mailbox and the house for a reason.

I've heard of people leaving a box beside their mailbox for instant recycling of such items. I'm an old dog though, and drag it all in the house and then back out again on recycling day.
