That ol' Mopar starter was as distinctive as any sound I've heard.

Oh, here's another,

"Pecka-pecka-pecka".

"Run the wash thru the wringer, then hang 'em on the line."

The weird laugh kids got when they watched a real chicken runnin' around with it's head pulled off.

78 RPM records played at 45, or vice versa.

"it's your turn to churn for a while"


"Pull your britches down and bend over that piano bench while I get my belt out"

And it was the same as dragging fingernails across a blackboard to me.

"It's your night to do dishes."

"whit-it-it-it-it"

>grin<

"Have you seen what they did to the new Mustang?"

( or Chevy or Ford or Dodge..they changed most every year. Enough that one could tell one year from another at a 1/4 mile )

But then there was the other side ....
"Time for another tune up. It may need a valve job this fall."

Fords: "Solenoid is bad, and the starter has a 'bad spot'".

GM's: "Probably the valve seals, and the rear-main is leaking."

Mopars: "The rust did it, needs new rockers, quater panels, body mounts, box sides, and door panels."

Quit it.

Oh!, "it's flooded."

Remember when radials were the hottest new tire on the market?

I sure do, in fact one of my Dad's closest friends owned several dealerships, and they used to park identical cars on the showroom floor - one with radials, one with bias-plys, and invite the customer to push the vehicles a few feet across the floor. The radial clad vehicle was easy to roll, the bias-plyed was nearly impossible (unless you really hunkered down).

The distinctive whine of a Merlin engine overhead..a little before my time but I live close to Bellevue Ne. and the home of retired Brigadier Gen.Regis[Reg]Urschler the current pilot of the famous P-51 "Gunfighter".You may have seen him at an airshow near you as he tours the country with the Confederate AF and does flying demo's. My place is right on top of the bluffs overlooking the Missouri river and many times I've been outside working in our orchard and heard him coming from miles away!! A flyover by the "Gunfighter" makes my day ..FLEM

"One of these days Alice - zip, pow, to the moon!"

Oh..yeah!!!!

We have to tell my son this all summer. that kid never wears shoes if the doesn't have to.

Sonic booms, and Merlins got me to remembering the Cival Air Patrol, you don't hear much 'bout them anymore either.

I hear this one all the time still.

Gloria.."So then Puerto Rican's are number 3 then,huh Daddy?
Archie.."Well not necessarily there,Little Girl,your Puerto Ricans can be 4.Your Japs and your Chi.nks can be 3-3A,3B."

The Meathead asked Edith what she thought about capital punishment, her response was....."well I suppose it's OK as long as it isn't too severe".
