Post by: Matt Ottinger on April 22, 2013, 11:33:16 PM

Got your attention, didn\'t I?


 


One of my favorite nostalgia bloggers has a regular feature he calls \"Mini Skirt Monday\"  Today\'s installment hits close to home.


 


Enjoy.

I was born about fifteen years too late.

Golly.

There\'s something about Anitra that made me like her a bit more than Janice during this period.

I thought the five price tags for the car were pretty brutal -- or did car prices back in those days usually end in 0 or 5?

Anitra exuded sexiness.  Something about that mischievous smile... methinks.

Janice was pretty.  Anitra was hot.

That must be something they changed eventually, because I don\'t remember the prices ever being that close together.  Plus that was far too early in the run of the show for them to have established their unofficial tricks and shortcuts.  It was basically a random game, but remember that you could give yourself an 80% chance to win by playing the true/false part perfectly.

It\'s almost like they intended it to be that way...

I thought the intent was \"pick the right price of the car and win it.\"

It is. I fail to see where the two are mutually exclusive.

Depends on how you look at it. A multiple choice question about the NFL rushing yards record would be ponderous if the choices were 4352, 4409, 4462 or 4480. I would assume Chris doesn\'t put the two decisions in the same league.

You assume correctly. One was always meant to be a question of hard knowledge. The other was not.

Miniskirts and a Beetle. I didn\'t think it could get any more (early) 70\'s than that, until I saw the TV.

Avocado colored appliances/furnishings?

Between the two, no question: Anitra rocked the miniskirt. Still surprised me how much they wore those in the early years of the show. Yikes!


 


I think the hair ruins it for Janice in those early days. Years later, she\'d always wear it up. For her, I always liked it better that way.

Anitra rocked the miniskirt.

 


Rocked it both in and out of the miniskirt. The flick about the bee girls has been fapped to by many, I\'m sure.

Absolutely. I grew up in a house built in 1974, so I grew up with avocado-colored bathroom fixtures. We also had the goldenrod-colored kicthen appliances.

Unrelated, but as a child of the 70s I also tried coloring the people in my coloring books as wearing plaid pants.

That one movie she did with the guy from Win, Lose or Draw was pretty good, too.

I realize the song would be released a little more than a decade later.  But still, show of hands.  Who hummed a few bars of \"Legs\" by ZZ Top while looking at all the miniskirt images?  :)

A house near mine has harvest gold siding and avocado shutters.

In my opinion, best thread ever! Thank you, Mr. Ottinger.

Our house was built in the mid-fifties (year in public record is later than the year of the newspapers we found stuffed inside a wall) and sported both pink <and> green bathroom fixtures... and green and black tile in the bathroom that had the green bathroom fixtures...


 


...which have been replaced.


 


/however, the old toilets worked a LOT better...


//how did I get from miniskirts to toilets in this thread... it\'s the penalty box for you, sir

Well, this thread just went down the toilet.
