Daddy. What was it like in 1976?

Well, son. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone danced to disco music. We did, however all eat SPAM!
Man: Well, what've you got?
Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam;
Vikings: Spam spam spam spam...
Waitress: ...spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam...
Vikings: Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam!

I'm digging the one sandwich here that appears to be a baked beans and spam. Aieee, Sahib!

On the hair front, Balsam was big. All shampoos were required to contain it. Apparently, 90% of the population suffered from balsam allergies, which resulted in their hair swelling to unusual proportions. It also acted as an early short-acting form of Botox. This woman is nearly 80 years old.

For some great photos from 1976, check out the variety here on Flickr.

Spam and rudeness will not be tolerated. We're here to have a few grins, and if you can't abide, move along. Did I mention Spam? Because if I didn't, here it is. NO SPAM!! That includes saying you like our blog and it's thought-provoking (which we know is a lie) and here's a link to your blog. Basically, if you link post a link to a for-profit site without the express written consent of me or the Big Vance-a-rino, I'll delete your comment and you'll look like an ass or I'll mock you mercilesly for being a dork.
~Peace & Love,
