Now that it's over, I realize how much I liked the 00 decade...

Let's not forget the Schwinn bicycles that weighed a ton and even if you had a 10 speed, going up hill was a bitch. Built like tanks though. Undestructable. Everything was integral. You never stripped cranks, the kick stand never fell off. You could throw it off a cliff and nothing would break.

the kick ass paneling from the 70s is the shit!!!

Every basement was full of it. Wayne's World!

dennis leary's stand up with his dad paneling everything cracked me up.

vans with bubble windows and murals on the side

My dread as a kid was to own one of those vans and have sex with beautiful women in the back. I remember they had van magazines that showed all the fancy custom interiors and fancy beds used to fuck you girlfriend in during lunch hour.

my uncle from iowa had a van like that named "utopia seeker"

The 70's is having a custom van with shag carpeting and fur on the inside and a girlfriend in the back showing her big 70's muff.

Ha! ha! Smoke a little weed, have a little drink and get laid. Cruise around trying to score more weed and ass. Utopia indeed!

[Nitro Express]

I'm sticking it to the man. I'm going to drop out and live in my van, get high and have sex all day at the beach. That was the dream.

In the 70's you bought your van from this guy.

I loved those. We used to eat at a Chinese resturaunt that had those. I use to turn the knob and flip through the selections and push the buttons on the front just to fuck around while waiting for the food to come.

They used to have really cool signs too. Lot's of neon, flashing bulbs, some would be automated and move. That's pretty much been replaced by bland boxes full of neon tubes or a digital screen. I remember we used to eat at a place that had the big rotating sign and the neon would flash along the building and go to an arrow point at the door. The bowling alley have automatic neon where a ball would roll and scatter the pins. The Greyhound station had a neon dog that would run. Cool shit it was.

I love this shit. Reminds me of my childhood. Signs are so boring now.

we had one of these back in the day that i think had a huge statue of this guy spinnin' around and lighting up at night

The worst thing about the 00s cuntinues.

The fact it doesn't have a proper name. Media people call the decade the noughties but I've never heard a real person call it that because it's gayer than Gary Cherone serving canapes in an assless kaftan. Now this shit goes on for another 10 years until we finally reach the 1920s and can relax.

Assuming we live that long that means we wil have a big 20 year undefinable hole in the middle of our lives.

Very fucking annoying, I wonder if people complained about this 100 years ago...
