Ah, yes, I'm sure a lot of people got the skating rink and panicked over not having fingerless gloves, and were so relieved to find them there :) LOL
The 80's were a strange time.
I'm shocked that there is still an operating Pep Boys. What state are you in?

That fantastic to hear, good for you! I'm glad you found what works for you, and yeah, both the weight loss AND the lack of alcohol will add years to your life, not to mention the quality of it.
At the time of this photo, I had a drug "problem". I used drugs so I wouldn't have to feel anything or deal with anything. I numbed out and stayed numb. It wasn't much of a life, and it took a suicide attempt for me to give it up.
That being said, I suffer from complex PTSD, depression and anxiety (among other things) due to extensive childhood trauma. That's what I was trying to drown out in the first place. Now, I've learned that I can use pot to "lower the volume" of the trauma, not to avoid dealing with it, but to get it to a level where I CAN deal with it. I've made huge strides in my mental and emotional health as a result, it's been a godsend.

The doctor shouted the same thing when I was born.

I understand your frustration. But I say, look inward. Rather than waiting for lowlife to randomly get you, you should go the low-life and demand to be dealt with now. Don't let others decide your fate.

Nah, but I could have played one on TV. I looked scary, but my nickname at the time was "Toddy Bear" if that gives you any idea.... I was mostly mush.

Mustang. Same thing, different mechanical issues.

Was a massive pot-head back then, quit for about 25 years, and then started again. Thankfully, I live in a state where it is legal to grow or buy. I don't miss having to deal with drug dealers. But yes, at the time, I sold it too.

Douchebag, maybe. Narc, quite the opposite. I grew up in an extremely abusive environment and still deal with issues of self worth.

Most likely purchased at Pep Boys, no doubt.

Would have paid better. I was an auto mechanic at the time.

FWIW, while I get the joke, I also have a co-worker with an "Elmer Fudd" style speech impediment, and this kind of stuff can be insulting when you see people making fun of it. Just sayin'.
