They used to put on live shows in theaters.You could dress up as characters during the wedding.We used to throw rice all over the theater. Everybody used to cross dress

I've seen it twice - two wildly different experiences. Different venues and crowds. I much preferred one over the other

Really?

It still has midnight showings with live audiences to this day.

We would have some people wearing tuxes tails, top hats a lot of ladies wore tiaras and gowns

Since I’m from the state where Hardee’s was born…

I remember the original joints had a no-shit open fire grill with a sweaty kid flipping burgers on a grate. Oddly ours was right beside another burger joint that my parents went to when dating. The old fashioned roller skating waitress type place.

It’s family owned to this day (no more roller skating deliveries,) still there. The Hardee’s has long been torn down and replaced with a boat repair yard…

Love it!!! Of course, I remember when I preferred Mickey's to Hawdee's . . . .

I’ve heard that it’s a very beautiful ceremony. Congrats to the couple!

Giving yourself to another in this context is a very intimate and special experience.

Did Mrs. and I donate blood every few months. I’ve never thought of it this way before. I guess I’ll think of things differently now!

I will now consider it a humanitarian act

There's a bazillion things I don't know about, but if you ever need to start up a ship or a locomotive to go for a "joyride" in, I'm your guy.

You sound like one of the members of a team in an action movie!

Years ago... morning commute
Some lady stepped off the curb... right in front of an oncoming lightrail train
I grabbed the back of her collar and yanked her back out of the way
Not sure which of us was startled more

You could have saved her life!

Now she owes you (this is sounding like that episode of the Brady Bunch….)

The Rocky Horror Picture Show came out in 1975. My Mom passed in 74 and my Dad passed 11 mths later in 75.
My world came unglued and I was Hospitalized for about a year. I don't remember much around that time. I still take medication for Manic depression...50 years later (truth)

Growing up in Philadelphia...I used use the subway train to get to work

I have never seen the Rocky horror picture show either.

But it looks like fun, and someone posted time warp as one of those songs that ever knows the lyrics to in the daily music thread post.

Here’s my contributions to the Halloween music!
