Had a pair of those sitting on the bow of the Storybook Land Canal Boats, boat guarding the passengers at Disneyland many, many moons ago. We all got through the ride safely.

I'll bet both of you launch your cars too! Going for it starts at an early age.

I was a sissy and fired mine one by one.

Yup it does start early. I'm not sure how exactly playing with cap guns led to drag racing big-block Chryslers in the early '80s but I'll take it. And yes I do love being the first one away when the light turns green still to this day.

Jack in the Box - Seniors age 55 or older can get 20% off their entire order.

Of course, there's no JitB restaurant within 600 miles of here to partake in this generous offer.....

You're probably better off.

How about this young lad?

Name the TV show(s) he was in plus a famous movie he starred in.

Opie’s Charity. I know that much but brain jam. Tip of the tongue…

The Andy Griffith Show, Happy Days (TV shows).

American Graffiti (famous movie he starred in).

Never heard of Opie’s Charity.

^ Just read that "Opie's Charity" was an episode on The Andy Griffith Show.

Used to watch this show all the time but don't think I saw that episode.

"Pride in what other people think presents itself to Andy two-fold when he hears that Opie gave only a measly three cents to a school charity ..."

When you have to catch your breath when you look in the mirror because your father is looking back at you.

My parents got tons upon tons of senior discounts. They even had free lifetime senior passes for every US national park; they used the heck out of them too.

Now that the heart of the boomer generation is hitting 65 those discounts are disappearing fast.
