holy shit you are a genius, get bent, if only for constructing this poll. mad respec

Actually, though, I knew a friend of a friend from Scottsdale who had ufo/alien stories that he was too freaked out to talk about.

The am radio thing is so OTM that it's terrifying. I had octogenarian landlords several years ago who lived on the same property as their rentals, and any time of day or night that you stepped foot inside the gate, the sound of one of the local am talk/newsradio stations would be blaring at startling levels. I don't know if in their minds it functioned as some default burglary deterrent, or what...

the sound of one of the local am talk/newsradio stations would be blaring at startling levels

that is, blaring from the inside of a garage/shed/storage space crammed wall-to-wall with assorted junk, including the requisite stacks of '60's newspapers. Seriously. I'm not painting a very good picture here, but, maybe you get the idea...

No " Sitting on a creaky rocking chair overlooking a sandy ranch, dividing their time between shouting racial epithets, making green tomato chutney and occasionally using their rotary dial Bakelite telephone to tell their daughter Janet/Pat/Susan to "keep these moments golden". "

No credibility!

anybody who picks anything besides the furniture option is a moron

no way, I'm going either hard candies or AM radio. god said it, i believe it, that settles it.

Money paranoia should be on here. The last 3-4 years my grandmother lived alone, she wouldn't spend money on toilet paper when a wet washcloth worked just as well. Goddamn that house stank.

oh yeah, that old depression-era mindset

How about the multiple compartment pill holders? Walkers with tennis balls on the legs? "Leisure World Village?"

Hard Candies/Lollies/Sweets transcend all geographical and cultural boundaries.

Walkers with tennis balls on the legs?

Yes!

And what about those visor shades? Huh?

get off my lawn in a LANDSLIDE

not to give away my secrets, but I will vote for "get off my lawn" in any poll ever, no matter what the question is.

"Sugar-free" is what excludes the hard candy for me. I see what Tombot says wrt the furniture, but the longevity of it sorta annuls the oldtimeyness.

So '60s newspaper shelves it is.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

So jealous of the 'hard candies' old-people-knowers. All the old people I knew as a child had bowls of dusty Circus Peanuts candies.

what is "lawn"?
