35 YEARS AGO TODAY >

Boy, you guys are some really old pharts if you remember that...

.........

Winter flounder are about as rare as tarpon up here anymore

Ah, the good old days - I remember going to Tolman and Macks waiting for them to throw the monkfish overboard - - it was trash fish then - and stomping on their backs when they washed up on the boat ramp to see if we could get 'em to spit up some squid...

...which we used to put in a tin bucket and ride our bikes to Jagschitz's bait shop at King's Park and try to swap for fishing stuff ...

Yeah, try to tell kids that today and they won't believe ya...

Hey Uncle Joe -

How about fishing off the finger piers at King's Park for mackeral...or frost fish from the beach there...

Or rowing over to Goat Island before there even was a causeway...

[Crafty Angler]

Or seeing doormat sized fluke skimming across the sand in the Wellington Ave corner as we rowed our skiff over them...

Dude, I'm gettin' nostalgic here...

i was working at roseland nursery in fairhaven

and living out on west island

then i took my VW to a place in dartmouth to have the front end fixed... only place around...

well those bastards there..... took my car
and went out with it breaking into homes

and soon after i got it back
detectives were following me around
and i am like WTF " who are those guys" ?
like on butch casidy and the sundance kid

eventually i went to the dartmouth police station
thinking they had found my lost wallet
and the cop there starts reading me my rights
and then i definitely going WTF are you talkin about

it was similar to the ballard of ALICE'S restaurant i'm a tellin ya

then the guy says well we don't care about all the other robberies
.... just this one.... (what a baloney salad)

and again i professed my innocence which was the absolute truth

then they had to search my house and of course they never found anything because they had the wrong guy

i totally regret forever not suing that front end shop too...

after that i split to california having had enough of this non sense
because my landlord got wind of it and kicked us out
that little prick... shoulda smacked him in the mouth before i left.

Hey Raven. Have Mr. Peobody and Sherman re-calibrate the Wayback machine. I think it took you to the wrong thread.

i must have looped around a black hole
just outside our space time continuum....
