Random Humorous Things - A Light-Hearted Thread

[Angrboda]

I don't think I even get the Hallmark channel. I watched a Hallmark movie once. It wasn't Citizen Kane, but it ably passed the time.

I had an early radio-controlled toy car, and those Radio Shack phones would drive it absolutely NUTS!

The townhouse I grew up in, had a basement that had the fake would paneling that was popular in the 70s/80s.

Mom and dad had a Coppertone fridge and stove...that was big back then. Others went with Harvest Gold or Avocado Green - all were ugly as hell.

We lived in a pretty old house and dad did a lot of work on and in it. He remodeled the living room in a couple weeks while mom was away at grandma's house...simply lovely...green/gold/brown shag carpet and this nasty light colored paneling (almost white) with the fake wood lines in green...OMG - I hated it...green/gold furniture and anything that sorta, kinda resembled wood was more like a dark wood-looking formica or something equally awful. Mom thought the decor' was straight out of 'House Beautiful'.

Someday, I'll tell you about the red bathroom and the orange and white kitchen cabinets (which were just stunning with the Coppertone appliances). GACK

Could have been worse - it could’ve had fake wouldn’t paneling.

When we moved to this house, there was the original electric stove with microwave above it that was...brown. Coppertone, I guess? The fridge was avocado green. The stove got replaced fairly immediately, along with the electric dryer, for gas models that used WAY less electricity. They paid for themselves in 10 months, based on our lowered electricity bills. We waited until the green fridge died before replacing it, as it wasn't using that much more electricity than a newer one would.

I'm reminded of when my eldest sister got married, and my dad spruced up the living room for the reception. He put up black walnut paneling on two walls. Elegant, but that room looked like a cave until after he died and my mom asked me to put something else to cover it up. I completely paneled it with real birch veneer plywood, which helped immensely with lightening up the space.
