Lies and slander

I didn't even think of that... But now that you say it, true.

I'm not sure, you're probably right though. I can't think of one on these forums though.

it was, point and fact perceived as funny back then.
What was funny on that?
Falklands, Grenada and Panama all three have been events where supposedly superpowers embarrassed themselves by unleashing their overwhelming military powers onto a small dot on the map. It's been 3 overkill style military missions.

almost. 1979 started the Soviet Invasion, lasted 10 yrs

idk if I would call the Falklands necessarily embarrassing, though materiel costs were kind of high. It was a response to an armed invasion by the Argentines.

Decade is a term that literally means "a period of ten years." The term is not tied to a specific calendar.

Hardee har har guys. I still stand by the 80's as the best decade ever to grow up in.

The 1980s was the best decade until the 1990s then the 2000s and the 2010s.

You don't realize I was old enough to buy all those consoles and play the shit out them too. Best of both worlds.

War on Drugs

What a silly concept..
A cop wouldn't have known what pot smells like had he stood in a cloud of pot smoke back then.
Gosh was it easy to fool them in the 80s.

Cop: Seizes a 10 gram hashish piece. What is this?
Friend: That's Henna. Made from Cannabis plant, it's a hair dye. Here let me show you...
(mixes a tiny bit with saliva)
Cop: Hands hashish back. Alright.
Me: trying desperately not breaking down laughing while watching the situation..
Good times.

If I open my little jar at home, holy dicks does it stink the room up within seconds. Probably my least favourite part about it.

it was a pissing contest that had no necessity..
One had to laugh it off, or get pissed about it, those were the two options.
