Yeah, very effective when the movie went from black & white Kansas to Technicolor Oz and then back again.

Because laying in the same spot without moving hurts too much to sleep through.

You should mattress shop. Wirecutter just did a whole thing on mattresses, very informative. Also you might think about pillow;, as I get creakier I find that I actually care about them where I never did before.

My commitment was more for humor than my personal life experience. I have a memory foam mattress and very comfortable goose down pillow. I don't compromise on pillows anymore. My latest pair cost $300!

You know your old (and a Pennsylvania resident) if you remember the bars not selling beer or liquor until the voting polls closed on election days...Bars would put sheets over the liquor bottles and paper cups on the beer tap handles.

Ones age related decline can sometimes be determined by using the formula (number of minutes into a movie when one realizes one has seen it before X the number of minutes later one decides Fuck It and watches it again).

I genuinely miss the holiday albums in particular my mother used to play. Nostalgia at maximum levels.

Cheech & Chong claimed to have played Black Sabbath backwards at 78 RPM. Results? They saw God!

We may know what 78 RPM is but I doubt if most of us used it, or 16 RPM for that matter. I never used either of them. Only 45 and 33 RPM.

Have you ever heard of a long forgotten vinyl format, the 16 2/3 RPM record? They were half the speed of the 33 1/3 RPM albums that were the traditional standard for recorded music. Most record players in the 1950s and 1960s came with a speed setting to play these long forgotten discs that were considered novelties even during the years they were available.

Please exit my lawn, kind sir! I have a whole set of classic 78's, including WWII-vintage Spike Jones.

I also have a number of 78rpm records stashed in my record collection at my buddy's house. No room here currently.
