He was freaking out b/c he could only find 22 of the pull tabs (all 24 empties were accounted for), and was sure his parents would find the stray 2 tabs and bust him. I remember opening my dad's Rheingold & Schaefers w/ a church key...

My boyz are getting one for Christmas!

Eddy Giacomin's uncovered face might have been a little scarier! IIRC, Terry Sawchuk also started doing the stitches thing.....

Vibrating Football was the biggest scam perpetrated on the American public since Dry Cleaner Martinizing...

Rube - Agreed. That is the version you see in the arcade area at rinks. I checked into one, but it is a serious $$$ commitment, and weighs close to 300 lbs.

No. That deep shine was the result of your polyester bag pants rubbing up against them.

I'm only 38, but with some of the kids on this forum, I'm feeling like an old fart.


I recently commented to a co-worker that I wish we had had digital cameras when I was a teen. We were discussing wild teenage girlfriends. She woulda let me.


And I miss Flipper (the show not the band).

As I recall, the first time it appeared were in some rather murky shots of a black girl dancing--sort of the "National Geographic double standard"--okay to show naked or nearly naked black women if they were "natives."

The first Playmate to show pubic hair was a Norwegian girl, Liv Lindeland, January of '72 if I remember correctly. It was really quite a thrill at the time.

I remember a profile shot of the black girl dancing to left and hunched over. Thumbs up on Liv.

January '72 was Marilyn Cole. Quite bushy.
January '71 was Liv. Just a wisp of PH.

I was going to click on DR's link to "playmate archive" but I figured it was just a photo of a musty basement cellar in North Dakota or something.

You know, that "archive" way in the back in "Dad's work room"

What about Rogain?

I actually saw Ingemar Johansson knockout Floyd Patterson in
Yankee Stadium, I believe.

Also, Joey Maxim vs Sugar Ray Robinson

I was lucky to have a Dad who took his 11 year old son to
Title fights.

If I recall correctly, public hair appeared in Playboy in response to
Bob Guccione's Penthouse display of feminine foliage, around 1970

ah, the memories...
the outcry over mandatory seatbelt use,
the injustice of no longer being able to smoke in the doctors waiting room,
my overprotective mother making me wear a hockey helmet while learning to rollerskate at a time when you probably couldn't buy a child's bike helmet if you wanted to.
feeling like a big shot because we got the Commodore 64 with the color monitor while my freinds got stuck with the Vic 20 and tape drive...
