Back in the day...

I wish I was around when you could smoke in a plane or train or even in restaurants.

QFT. Although, when traveling to Moscow the very best thing about the airport there? We could light up the second we got on the ramp. Nice.

I remember going to the mall with my mom and her smoking all the time. Good times.

The train conductor I had for 33 fucking hours was a smoke Nazi. He only allowed two full smoke breaks. Fuck that shit. No more trains for me.

[Abraham Smashington]

Or you just quit. And have better lung capacity for fun things.

But yeah, that would fucking suck man. Couldn't even imagine back in the day. I'm honestly surprised there wasn't a smoking car?

[Ed Hocken]

Exactly. I was actually reading a book about congressional legislation and one of the ways that anti-smoking legislation finally started to gain traction. Was that you don't have to repaint and repair your place of business so damn much because of smoke wearing out the interior.

[nerdious dorkus]

Hey, I can still do fun things with horrible lungs. And, alas, no fucking smoking car. That shit would have been so nice.

[Lesley]

Last time I was on a train there was a smoking car. You could go there whenever you wanted....I think I spent much of my time there.

[Ed Hocken]

I should know, it's a byproduct of being in LA. *Cough*

Fuck, just being in Simi when the fires roll through will fuck with your lungs. This place is the shits. Southern California: if you're not being moved by the earth, your lungs aren't giving out on you, or you're extremely comfortable with the temperature, you're doing it wrong.

I wish I could have seen Led Zeppelin. And then seen them on old fashioned drugs.

I wish I could have seen Led Zeppelin. And then seen them on old fashioned drugs.

I was just coming here to say "See Pink Floyd on GOOD acid" Oh what a lovely dream.

[Captain Russ]

Them too. Really, just a who's who (the Who too) on non-fucked-with drugs.

[B_Metal]

Them too. Really, just a who's who (the Who too) on non-fucked-with drugs.

Yeah, that time frame was kind of a music explosion, with great drugs to boot.

Top 2 dream jobs, Rob from High Fidelity style:

1. pulp horror/sci-fi/fantasy/crime writer, 1930s-mid 60s. I'd also love to have been an author who could make his living through "literary" short stories in the 50s and 60s.

2. investigative journalist, New York City, 1975-1995. Get to be there for the insanity of '77, the punk rock days, the dirty Times Square filth of the late 70s and 80s, and be able to cover both the rampant police corruption, crack epidemic, and AIDS crisis.

I wish I could have taken Jenna Jameson's virginity.
