For those of you that think the late 1960’s was all hippies and beads and tie-dye and bell bottoms and pot, check this out:
IT’S 1968 AND PITTSBURGH ROCKS!

The Dickies covered “Nobody Like Me” in 1983, George Thorogood covered it in 1982, and it was covered by the Human Beinz in 1967. It was originally recorded in 1962 by the Isley Brothers. from Blue Ash, Ohio,  as if you didn’t know.

But there’s some unfortunate misinformation in that vid: “Teen Time” was really filmed in Steubenville, Ohio, not P-burgh. Just like at Diary of Daedalus, we fact check everything, no matter how trivial, on The Overnight Open Thread.

Whoa. Way too much disgusting innuendo in that caption to cope with, and to top it off, the clown’s eye rolls in friendly fashion? Good God. I really hope she didn’t bump the *ahem* clown’s nose accidentally, otherwise it’s a good bet she was in therapy until she turned 40.

Of course, a year or so later her world came crashing down once again, when she realized she’s become the subject of The Overnight Open Thread.

Welcome to the Feminist Movement circa 1970. Need I explain the FAIL?

Here’s a guy minding his own business when he stumbles on a protest about, um, women, and a nice looking girl walks up to show him a full color nudie poster, just to out-feminist the mannish boy girl who thinks that good-looking women are cows.

Ms. Waldo realized that although Mr. Stumble was very interested in the attractive presentation of the girl on the right, he had no chance with that kinda-young kinda-wow annoyance.

Fast forward to the present: Mr. Stumble and Ms. Waldo-Stumble now have three adult offspring, two grandchildren, and The Overnight Open Thread.
