Thought she was cuter than Loni (Jennifer), who was supposed to be the blond bombshell on the show.

What is the relationship between these two things?

The pen shaft is the rewinder...after you use the softer plastic cap to smooth out your wrinkled or folded tape.

Everybody knows you write on cassette labels with a pencil (to change later) or a felt tip pen (the keepers).

PS: I don't know if that pen existed when tapes were in use. I remember we looked for Bic pens.

Those bic pens were a must have for spit balls in grammar school.

I was aware of the solution, but the best one I saw was some dude driving past our downtown store with his "spaghetti" 8-track tape slammed in the righthand door of his car, dragging the plastic cartridge on the pavement. I'm not sure if he disliked the music or the tape, but it was hilarious. Clankity, clank. Heh!

Well I guess you know you're NOT old when you don't what the hell a 4 track cartridge is. I had to look it up. Lol.

You know you're old when you refer to a beautiful woman as a "bombshell."

Get off my lawn!

[TiMSport]

Just don't say "broad". That's pretty old sounding too

Agree. That's what my dad used to say, so that's really old. lol

It also sounds derogatory, and that's not nice.

A "Tasty" is the new lingo. The judges will also accept "Shiny Pieces."

I can think of two reasons why Loni was the "bombshell"...

And who was she married to? Don't look it up

We had 3 AM radio stations when I was a kid. One popular station had an opinion/comment show every afternoon where you could call in and voice your opinion regarding local issues. The interesting thing was, there was no recorded delay system - callers voices went out over the airwaves instantly.

Yeah, I remember listening to these AM stations, to hear the latest in music. Later on, these same hits would become "oldies."

It was Burt and I swear I didn't look it up. I remember because they were supposed to be a hot couple at the time.

PS - and yeah, I'm sure you're right about the two reasons. lol

Quadrophonic 8 track. Had to have a special player. My dad was an engineer for JVC back then so guess who had quad 8-track players in their cars -- and their friends' cars.
