Re: Five Fives

Eh Aunty! Let's keep it On Topic or da moderator going end dis thread too

Kimo you said it to remember a little bit of the 60's or the 70's. By the 80's the designer drugs hit the streets and it was a whole new ball game. Geez even the hard narcs of the 70's seem so tame compared to the crap on the streets now.

Back then to mellow out (in the 60's) became pop a lude (in the 80's) to "Chill" nowdays, but you drink a Starbucks? I tell you this generation's got it all backwards...but then again they're the product of the heroin-laced minds of their baby boomer parents

speaking of the old days and fives...what about the big 5. What were they? Amfac was one, Alexander and Baldwin, Castle and Cook, C. Brewer who else?

Oh darned the admin beat me too it...oh well

1. Watch 5 movies.
2. Eat 5 Mix and Match Roast Beef Sandwiches at Arby's.
