Reply to some upcoming comedians in the 1980s by Harry-Twotter

Spade is the real deal. A perfect mix of smart/smartass and funny. I feel very dumbed and cheated every time I watch Sandler because he copies everyone under the guise of nostalgia. I like Sandler the man,just not the comedian.

Reply to comment by littlewaltie in Highschool in the 90s, circa 1992 by mollygwenandmoe

I wore those flowy broomstick ankle length skirts with the big shirts ALL the time.

I graduated from high school in 1998–this looks very 1990s to me. Yes we had color photography but this shot looks to me like something I might have taken around school on an old black and white Pentax camera while I was in photography class. (It was one of the “shop” classes at my public school along with metal shop and wood shop. Do they still do those classes anymore?)

Also the “yearbook kids” took black and white photos and developed themselves which nobody did with color photos at the time. Since there weren’t cell phone pics and Polaroids were a little old and big to carry around you didn’t really take a lot of pictures in school at all and most of the ones I remember where black and white from those school cameras.

People did use disposable cameras a lot for trips and vacations and out of school. But I really don’t remember many kids taking pictures in the halls with them and getting them developed at the drug store. Maybe teachers didn’t allow it —can’t remember. It also cost $$ to get color pics developed so you didn’t take as many candid shots.

Reply to In 1956, Soccer goalie Bert Trautmann breaks his neck, but he continue to plays the rest of the game. by Edzeehh133

"During the 1956 Cup Final, between Manchester City and Birmingham City, goalkeeper Bert collided with striker Peter Murphy. Bert got a knee to the neck and was knocked completely unconscious.

As substitutes weren't allowed at the time, he was revived and insisted on staying on the pitch. He managed to play the final seventeen minutes and saw his Manchester team win 3-1. A few days after the match he went to the doctor with ‘a bit of a sore neck’ and discovered that his neck was actually broken".
