Remembering Things Past

That game was never fun. Interesting for a hot 5 minutes . All these sports games never had Buffalo. Hockey table top was habs vs bruins. Football was generic colors. And EVERY FUCKING TIME I annoyed a quarter out of mom for a mini football helmet in that plastic case out of the gumball like machine… New Orleans Saints. EVERY FUCKING TIME.

I agree, 5 minutes at most. It was great looking until word of mouth got around on that one, it was a bummer to say the least. The tabletop hockey game we had, with the rods and all, was generic. No teams were mentioned, it was a pretty great game, me and my Father used to play it a lot. The puck was around 3/4".

Rockem Sockem Robots kind of wore off quickly too. I bought a 32 pack of mini helmets a month ago or so for $5 at a thrift store. Had the Redskins and not the commando's. Cheaper than the old day random method haha.

My tabletop hockey game was Montreal versus the Minnesota North stars
 
No surprise seeing Philadelphia Freedom near the top. In '75, I was 11 and just discovering pop radio
After the first 10 million times I heard it, I’d break fingers rushing to turn the channel on the car radio…
So many good songs that year, but I was still a teen, in a honeymoon phase of music…😊
 
Apr. 14, 1966 - Sandoz Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the only legal U.S. distributor of LSD, has halted distribution of the drug and recall all supplies previously provided to researchers, a move expected to suspend most experiments involving human subjects.
The company said it would also withdraw pending investigational applications, ending its role in supplying the hallucinogen to accredited scientific programs. Sandoz officials linked the action to growing publicity about illegal trafficking which has negatively affected the company’s reputation.
However, the move is not likely to affect illegal production.
“I should not be surprised,” said one Sandoz official, “if at any one of a number of campuses there is more LSD than we have ever made.”
The company estimates that its total output amounts to no more than a few pounds, with individual human doses typically no larger than a grain of salt.
Medical authorities have reported that LSD can produce reactions ranging from intense joy to terror and may be dangerous without supervision.
Sandoz developed LSD in 1943 and has not sold the drug commercially, instead providing it under strict controls to approved investigators.
Some Federally supported programs are expected to continue under special arrangements with the Food and Drug Administration and Sandoz.
Scientists are also preparing a plan, subject to Federal approval, that would allow approximately 50 researchers in the U.S. to obtain LSD under conditions intended to avoid further damage to the company’s standing.
Sandoz made its policy change official Monday after notifying Federal authorities, following earlier warnings to researchers.
The LSD controversy has been heightened by a New York homicide case involving a medical school dropout identified as a user of LSD. The man, Stephen Kessler, 30, was charged with killing his mother-in-law and was sent to a hospital for observation.
Police said that at the time of his arrest he stated: “Man, I’ve been flying for three days on LSD. Did I kill my wife? Did I rape anybody? What have I done?”
