Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be

After watching Netflix for a bit tonight, I was reminded that I miss the days when they didn't show actual puking in movies and tv shows. It's unnecessary. The suggestion was always enough, until it wasn't.

I have a reply to this but it probably belongs in the Controversial Opinions thread instead

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look them up.

+1 on Mammoth wvh. Fabulous music if you're a rock fan seeking new/vintage music? Wolfie has a great voice too!

And forgot to mention, Wolfie plays all the instruments and sings all the lead vocals and harmonies on his recordings. An absolute genius.

Is LA the only place where people refer to their freeways with "the"?

I remember taking the 405. And the 10. And the 5. And the 101.

I'm not there anymore. No more "the's."

@SimonDoom,
In the U.K. we had "The" A1, to "The" B12 go North twenty miles and get of on "The" B15... I remember that.
In Australia we had, Take Polly Farmer to Wellington, jump off and get onto Roe then get onto the Joondalup expressway.
Now, here in Illi-noise we have, Get on 6, follow it to 175, turn left onto I80 and follow it to... to... someplace...

No wonder I'm so confused. Why do roads in Illi-noise have three names? One is the I74, which is also named (noun) and then turns into something else (according to the GPS)

Helllllllllp...!!!
Respectfully going nuts,
D.

I loved smoking in planes, on the subway, and at the back or top deck of buses.

When I first travelled to the US in 1980, I sat at the back of a bus in LA, and lit up a camel. None of the passengers said anything; after all I could have had a gun. The bus driver stopped the bus, walked all the way back to me and said, "No smoking on the bus, unless it's weed, in which case, no Bogarting". True story. That was the moment I knew the US would be my new home.
