Novelty Draft - better than you thought it would be (1 Viewer)

[Dr. Octopus]

One of my friend's dad was really big into his CB Radio. He actually did voices and created different personas while communicating over air.

"Wolfman Jack" was his big one. He did a great impression.

One that didn't age well in hindsight was "Bruce" who was a flaming homosexual.

It's all kind of ridiculous in retrospect.

I mean, can you imagine a bunch of total strangers communicating over public airwaves using fake identities and their own made-up lingo.

I can’t. Sounds creepy.

The whole downtown area is really amazingly nice now. When I lived there as a kid (1978-1982), no one would want any part of going downtown at all.

11.pa America's Trucking Craze (Flex - Trend)

You had to be there. This lasted for what felt like about 2 weeks in the late 70s, but that two weeks was wall to wall, nonstop, truckin'. Of course it was a much longer phenomenon, arguably starting in 1973 with a local bread commercial, running right through 1975's smash hit Convoy and winding down in 1983 with the cancellation of the Dukes of Hazard TV show (although you might argue Cannonball Run II was the final death knell in 1984, you could safely say the trend had jumped the shark by then). The pinnacle of this novelty trend had to be 1977's Smokey and the Bandit, featuring Jerry Reed's classic Eastbound and Down. Whether it was CB Radios, cross country racing, outrunning smokies in your bitchin' Camaro -er, Firebird, or big cheezy Burt Reynolds mustaches, this craze birthed countless novelty trends that burned so brightly they're still enduring anachronisms to this day.

I forgot to mention this in my CB Radio writeup the other day but Citizen's Band (aka Handle with Care) is a very good 1977 movie made during the midst of the weird CB/Trucker craze of the seventies. It was a breakout film for director Jonathan Demme who went on to greater success in the eighties.

There's not as much action as Smokey or Convoy (or Duel or Breakdown for that matter) but there's a lovely warmth and sense of community between its cast of misfits that's reminiscent of old Frank Capra films.

It's available for streaming with ads on PlutoTV. I think I'm going to watch it tonight.

If you think that’s bad, try the salt and pepper shaker museum https://thesaltandpeppershakermuseum.com/

I may have taken my oldest two sons to this during son #2’s senior trip.

Edit - make that one of my novelty flex picks; decorative salt and pepper shakers. My parents had a China cabinet full of them.

When the movie Earthquake was released in 1974 I saw it in Sensurround. Basically they put giant speakers in the theater that cranked out bass so your seats and the whole building would "shake". Also saw Rollercoaster a couple years later.

I saw Rollercoaster in the theater in Sensurround as well.

I can testify that Sensurround didn't simulate an earthquake or roller coaster very well. I'll defer to the experts on WWII naval battles.
