Are they giving you a trophy for that?

From the article:

"Kentucky’s best full decade was the 1950’s"

No doubt UK's glory days are still fresh in Crotch's mind. Those memories of huddling the fambly around the furniture-sized radio in the parlor (their source for all news of the outside world) don't die easily...

The 50's were great.....

Well...

Heh...

Fambly fun times from crotch's younger days

Threatening to?? That bridge done been crossed a long time ago, Pat...

Death threats to a ref – the lunatics are threatening to overtake Kentucky's fan base

What in the blue hell is laying at the young girls feet????!!??? Looks like a weird hairy scarred giant baby.

What else would you expect? Kittens??

It's the family fun game called Burn the kitten

Look carefully. A cat is rasslin' with a dog. The loser is served for supper.

Good catch. Looks like the crotch fambly is enjoying one of their fav'rite pastimes: Watching the kettle boil.

Where's paw-paw?

Enjoyed the humor, Saint, but all joking aside you'll never know just how close to being accurate that pic was of growing up here in Eastern Kentucky in the early 50s. Dad was making $35/week working as a mechanic at a garage in town and mom was busy taking care of us 'youngins. We were never hungry but food was scarce to say the least. We had a cow and several chickens which helped out tremendously. Mom saved every dime she could so we kids wouldn't have to do without and she hardly EVER spent anything on herself. By the late 50's, she had saved enough for us to buy a better house. I was the youngest of the 4 kids and when I got in grade school, she went to work at the Elementary school as the lunchroom director. Brought in another paycheck to say the least. Dad had started his own garage by that time and was doing pretty good. Mom was still saving every penny she could. To make a long story short, my parents put all 4 of us kids though college on their OWN money... never borrowed one red cent from anyone or got student loans. We were the first of both sides of our family to go to college and we ALL got degrees. Both of my sisters were Valedictorians of their senior classes in the early 60's and one got a $100 scholarship to Morehead and the other got a $250 scholarship to Eastern. And FWIW, I wouldn't change one thing about the way I grew up. These 'spoon fed' kids today know absolutely nothing about earning something or what it's like to see their parents scrape the bottom of the bowl for a few pennies. Once I graduated college and got my teaching job, I made sure I paid them back for everything they did for me and then some. Again, thanx for the pic... that stove in the pic is exactly like the one we had to keep our whole house warm. Mom used to tell the story of my older brother eating ashes out of the bottom of the stove. Those were great days to be a kid. Some of you wouldn't understand that though.

He was too upsait to lissen to him some ball

My parents (who would be in their late 80s if still alive) grew up in similar conditions. My mom in Missouri and my dad in eastern NC. I always wondered why people had so many kids back then, when they could barely afford food or clothing for them.

I dont know that either of my parents went hungry but they didn't have much in the way of fancy things or new clothes.

" I always wondered why people had so many kids back then"

Fucking was free...

If tuition rates were what they are today, comparable to income, you'd still be standing around the fambly stove, crotch.
