Cool.  The 70s!  I had the Banana Splits lunch box and then the Jetsons.  The thermoses lasted 3-2-1... and I'm drinking broken glass.

I had an Evel Knievel lunch box.  I dented on the edge because I thought dents were cool.  I used to like dents in car fenders too.  For some reason I thought it looked cool.  Battle scars I guess.  Weird huh?

You would have liked my old neighbor, back in Connecticut. She had a side business where she'd "age" other kids' new blue jeans by tying them to the rocks between high tide & low tide and leaving them there for a few days.

I thought dents in cars were so cool I once took a hammer to the side of my father’s car.  At age 8, I learned that a ‘68 Dodge Polara did not dent easily.   He was pretty pissed off when he discovered what I did.  Luckily the damage was small but I sure thought I would have made a bigger dent than I did.  An unsatisfying shallow hammer mark was what I remember.  Man, the things I remember…

Yeah, a little weird.  Us normal kids just blew up or shot everything we ever owned.

Believe me, I have numerous stories about that stuff too.  Blew up, shot…..don’t forget burned
