What were your favorite activities back in the 50s?

[Honkridge]

kicking my mom in the stomach

 

[Motorik]

getting impaled on my two foot long gear shift
getting all my ribs cracked from my enormous steering wheel
getting huge arms from steering
smoking five packs of cigarettes a day
drinking 20 cups of coffee a day
having nightmares about guadalcanal
having nightmares about korea
taking my eight daughters to piano lessons
trying my wife's cocktail dress on and not telling anybody
buying a house after working at the coffee filter factory for two years
going to the tavern with ed, red, sid, buck, delmer, and bob kryzewszsksczki
having a few drinks at the vfw, the foreign legion, the rotary club, the shriners, and the masonic lodge
doing coups and assassinations
keeping undesirables out of my neighborhood
getting the folding tables out and eating some blazing hot swansons while watching red skelton on the tv
going hunting with my ear flap hat and enormous coat

That sounds swell!

Back in the 50's my parents bought one of these Atomic Energy Labs for me. But I was a moron and mixed the uranium powder with my Kool-Aid and drank it. I died and was reincarnated in the 60's.

Hunting down the lavender menace at the State Department before their perversions made them likely candidates for blackmail by the Soviets.

My favorite thing was pooping in my diaper.

I had that kink for awhile, too. But my beard/wife found out and put an end to it.

That’s one way to protect your inheritance. Wait another twenty years and it’s murder one.

I used to out my neighbors as communists to Senator McCarthy. Teach them for snitching to my old man about me sharing that cherry soda with Mary-Ellen.

I was going to say brushing my teeth with Radium-infused toothpaste, but this is way better.

Exciting! Safe!

This really takes me back.

When I wasn’t at the biker bar visiting the glory hole I used to race for pinks at the local airstrip. 35’ Duece with a flathead, Edlebrock Intake, Harmon and Collins magneto and of course a Halibrand quick change diff. Mostly I was at the biker bar though.

'35 deuce? I don't think this means what you think it means.

Since I hadn't learned about jerking off yet, my favorite activities were eating and shitting my diaper. By the end of the fifties my parents had signed me up for accordion lessons.

Were they inspired by America's favorite accordionist, Dick Contino?



This is serendipity: Dick Contino also stars in Girls Town with Mamie Van Doren.

And he gets into a teenage gang rumble with, I shit you not, Mel Tormé.

Here is Mel Tormé (34) as the juvenile delinquent, hot-rodder, villain of the movie:

This kid at work used to grumble about people "that were probably born during the Eisenhower administration." I told the little fucker that I was born during the Eisenhower administration!

This thread is mainly for people born during the Hoover administration.

In that case, there may be a paucity of replies!

Mamie Van Doren. yeah.
Who was Mel going to hurt with those pasty little hands?

My father was born in 53 so I'm pretty sure I was in my pre-sperm stage all through the 50's. Ah the good ole days.

 

[Motorik]

For those of you still in the fifties, daddy-o, you should check out The Cool and the Crazy if you get the chance.

It's got stabbing, playing chicken, sassy talking to teachers, JDs hopped up on reefer, and other swell stuff. It's the most.

I always loved loved LOVED to have impromptu dance and singing get togethers on the street...it was a favorite way to pass the time.Occasionally a switchblade or a big comb would surface but the song and the dance always brought everyone together without fail.
