Administrators Eric Posted September 19, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2018 I don't remember the last time I dialed a number on a phone with an actual dial, or even buttons. I don't remember the last time I stood in, or even saw a phone booth. I don't remember the last time I used the yellow pages. Actually, I don't remember the last time I even had one. I don't remember the last time I bought a can of oil for my car and leaked oil all over my exhaust manifold, because the damned spout you puncture the can with leaked. I have never had one, including several new ones, that didn't leak. Bastards. How about you? Keep 'em coming. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 When was the last time you used an outhouse? (calling Hannie, btw) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentpoet Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I don’t remember the time I posted something appropriate. i don’t remember the time I last used a bumper jack. Honestly maybe 20 odd years ago. i don’t remember the last time I popped popcorn in the pan. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the out house and did my business. I left the Kimber in its holster, because there was nowhere I cared to lay it down. When I stood up, it fell out of its holster and landed on the rim of the fiberglass outhouse toilet set shell. It teetered on the edge for what seemed like a 100 years and then fell into the dirt at my feet. I don't know what I would have done, if it had fallen in. Probably got myself a magnet on a string and gone fishing, I guess. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Posted September 19, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2018 I don't remember the last time I licked S&H Green Stamps and stuck them in the booklets, or poured over the Green Stamp prize merchandise catalog. I don't remember the last time I held a Sear & Roebuck catalog. That used to be a pretty important part of most folks' lives. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(calling Hannie, btw) Actually, I do remember this (vividly). I was working at a remote "Non-Magnetic facility way out in the boondocks, developing a Super Conducting Submarine Sensor and since we were isolated, we had a porta-Potty. We were working there for a couple of years. I remember -10 degrees and using the "facilities". Management was concerned that we might not be "working" as hard since it was "away from the plant", "Out of sight, out of mind!". I invited them to come visit anytime. They could also use the Bathroom facilities in the Winter with us. No one took me up on it. Edited September 19, 2018 by janice6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy tom Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) The last time I used the Yellow Pages (actual paper book) was two years and nine months ago. The last time in a real outhouse was fifty-three years ago.tom. Edited September 19, 2018 by deputy tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janice6 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) I forget how long ago I used engineering or component "reference texts". Everything is on the Internet these days. With the availability of Math Programs, I haven't heard anyone talk about using Logarithms for many years.

deputy tom Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 (edited) The last time I licked a green stamp was the summer of 1971.

Well, I will tell you how a girl handled it at a State IDPA match when she dropped her blaster in the Porta-Potty; in case it happens to you again. She was the Match Director and I was the Asst, MD. She double-gloved her hand with 30 gallon garbage bags and went fishing. She got it back, but used a back-up gun to finish the match. She is a pretty hardcore shooter; sponsored by Beretta for a while. This is her and Hackathorn in Idaho. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I can't remember the last time I used my IBM S/370 Quick Reference . It was a yellow thing, folded up four pages into the right size for a shirt pocket. Or a CRC pocket math reference. Or changed the channel on a television set without using the remote control. Or,what had for lunch yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She could have truthfully said that she spent the afternoon shooting the **** with you. I was in an outhouse that had been in service many years. God knows how deep that thing was. I am very glad I did not have to find out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dric902 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 When was the last time you saw a car with an ashtray crank window vents crank windows for that matter two ply or four ply tires an exhaust/muffler shop i worked at a Murphy Mart auto center in high school. Most of our income was oil changes, tires, exhaust pipes and muffler work, brake jobs (disc and drum) and tune ups with plug wires, points, and spark plugs. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar_ml Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 umm, my house phone is attached to the wall with a cord, and has buttons. Last time I used an outhouse was a couple months ago. As for the rest, most of them were actually before my time, so I can't remember because they never happened. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
