Thunderbird Club

[GonePlaid]

My brother and I had these huge bayonets; must have been 24 inches or more. We had sword fights with them. How did we survive our childhood? Wonder what happened to them. I’ll look for them if I ever get to go to my parent’s house again. And yeah, I have no idea how many vintage firearms are in my Dad’s attic. There are way too many.

I don’t own any guns.

Prolly sittin' on a gold mine there.

I don’t know. Never really talks to us about them. Way different than my Thunderbird thing, yet kinda similar I guess.

The show history is fascinating. Several of the main characters were Holocaust survivors or ex-POWs. Jewish actors agreed to portray Nazis so long as the studio guaranteed the script would never show the Nazis in a favorable light. At all.

Klemperer had a contract stipulation that the Germans and Klink must always "lose".

Klemperer was a greatly acclaimed actor in Europe at one time...

Renown stage actor. His father was a very well regarded orchestra conductor.

Should you ever desire to get rid of them (safely and for preservation), I am a member of a military museum and could put you in touch.

Given we're Gibson fans here, I figure I'd post this here, not a T-bird but certainly an old survivor. Moving it along to help finance something I'm quite excited for.

That is good to know. My brother and I have no idea what to do with some of his stuff when we have to face that inevitability.

Great Bird!
I use Optima Golds on my Anniversary Bird and they look and sound great plus they last a long long time. I think I'm on year 3 or 4 and they're still going strong.
Before changing the pups you might want to drop a Haz clone in it, really is an outstanding preamp.

More money than I want to spend on a bass right now, but these NS-2X woodstocks have me drooling...

Those are sooo nice but I can't ever justify something in that price point. "But I want it!!" doesn't get me far in that argument.

Probably the same scenario for the Pontiac Aztek except drugs.

My father had 3 Japanese rifles from WWII, one with the bayonet. His high school friends dad had a "barrel full of them" and they just gave them away. Since he has passed we split them amongst the 3 children so I have one but no bayonet. They are in great condition but pretty sure they are rendered unusable. I have it more because it reminds me of my dad than anything else.

My thought. Although in my case, I'd certainly keep a few.

Friday night was a cool TV night when we were little.

I think I recall Rat Patrol on that evening as well.

I certainly remember U.N.C.L.E. was originally on Friday nights. And I was Napoleon Solo.

Last episode of Derek Hoke’s $2 Tuesday thing. Played the Fano, which is a bit low in the mix at times. If you like stoner rock, Red Feather are a really good local band here in Nashville

Enjoyed the heck out of that. Great show!

Ok, so far, we've determined there were ebony fb's on T-birds in '89, '95, '96, and '97. Any other years?

'91 and '01.

Jarts. Remember Jarts?

Jarts. Remember Jarts?

Oh yeah. I wonder how many emergency room visits those things caused.

 

[GBassNorth]

I still have a set.
If I get time today I'll post a pic of it and a thunderbird - kind of the yang and yang of the entertainment world.

And for the record - yes, the lawn darts are my set from when I was a kid. My brother and I would set the rings about 50 feet apart and play both offense (throwing the dart at the opponents ring) and defense (trying to block the dart from landing in the ring). This, although dangerous, was entirely too structured for two teenage boys. The games usually quickly evolved into "Dodge Dart" (not the car) where we would throw the darts at each other. If it hit you, you were out (maybe for a long time) but if you caught it the other guy was out. We both drew blood many times, but we're still alive. Stupid, yes, but it was a great eye/hand coordination excercise and even helped us increase our pain tolerance thresholds. All part of growing up back in the 60's and 70's.

Jarts. Remember Jarts?

Oh yeah. I wonder how many emergency room visits those things caused.

Terrifying Tuesday....

...I'm sure there's still enough blood on those darts to capture a DNA sample. The box inside and instructions are so nonchalant and innocent, from a different and less litigious time.

I have the inside story on the Aztec if anyone's interested. It's the problem with bean counter engineering.
