And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My older cousins, maybe, but not my gramps. Cousin Larry came back from his stint turning wrenches on choppas in the Air Farce with a 57 Chevy hard top that a speed shop in Vegas had massaged until it could mortally fly. It was not more than a couple years old, had black paint with baby moons and Lake pipes and got a lot of attention.
Unfortunately, the good old days are a thing of the past. Homosexuals are a little over 10% of the US population (if you can believe it) ... and blacks are 12%. Maybe one black faggot would be good sitting in the trunk with the lid closed.
"Wop" is the sound that cooked spaghetti make when you throw it against the wall. And yes, goofy names were loved and adored by friends, and no one was "hurt" and certainly did not have to run to their "safe place" when a name was used.
No squares there man…
ReplyDeleteThat 1956 Buick isn't "round" enough for them to be my grandparents.
ReplyDeleteI would have been 1 year old in that pik. (assuming the ride is brand new)
It's 4:30am. I thought I was the only guy up this early, but only because I'm crazy like that. Your excuse?

ReplyDeleteI didn’t see a GAY or Black couple in that photo, that's racist and shit.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, the guy on the far right is a wop.

DeleteWop? Dontcha mean dago? Funny how back then those slurs were more endearing among friends than pejorative.

ReplyDeleteMy grandfathers were born in the 1870s, so probably not.
ReplyDeleteOur Grandparents.
ReplyDeleteThey did things.
Mine did WWI. One with the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe, the other shovelling coal on a cruiser. I'd have been a little kid in this picture.
