    Yeah one night an attendant chased us up and down rows before kicking us out.
    Another time it was a late show about Dracula, after eating pistachios I went to the rest room, looked the mirror and my lips were red, d'oh!

    Ha! I made out with a buck-toothed girl one night at a drive in, and I had red lips too! She almost gnawed my lips off.

    The only two I don't remember are Black Jack gum and Party Telephone Lines, the second, probably because I lived in the city as a youngster.

    Older than Dirt!
    It was only about 11 years ago that I bought some Black Jack gum, bought some Necco's too. There's a place in Seaside, Oregon that sells old fashioned candies, can't remember the name of the store. They probably still sell it.

    Necco wafers have been reincarnated with all the old flavors with the original natural ingredients.

    An incredible difference from what they were for years.

    The Valentine hearts are or are going to be restored.

    Time warp in your mouth.

    The funny thing about age is that I don't give a puck!
    I have not had a birthday in two, three, or maybe more decades and just don't care enough to keep track of that meaningless to me number.

    People look at me like I am nuts when I am asked how old I am and I respond. "I have no idea".
    Sure, I could do the math, but as I said above, I just don't give a puck!

    How old do I feel? I guess based on what I already typed, I can only say I don't have a frame of reference to go by, but I feel fine.

    Age my spouse thinks I look and act like? Sometimes she accuses me of being childish, so take it from there.

    Age that others see me as? Well I don't get carded when buying booze much anymore, so old enough to drink.

    I am starting to get stuff from Social Security so I guess I am getting up there a little bit.

    Couldn't afford it so we got the next best thing on our trips down to Grand Isle: "gomme de la mer".

    (French for "gum of the sea").

    Wait until the tide went out, picked up the natural black tar in the sand, rinsed and chewed it.

    Free, and pretty much the same ingredients as Black Jack Gum ... petroleum based, but salty.

    Don't know the place in Seaside, but there's one in Bandon that sells Salt Water Taffy that you can watch them make, and pull, and pull, and pull........................................................
