HA! It was my oldest brother's and if he kept a fraction of the crap/toys he bought back in the day he'd be so stoked now in retirement! He's the one you want to marry ... but there's not even a Big Trak in it for you, so...

Funny story, the house where this pic was taken has been, perhaps unsurprisingly, updated and based on Zillow photos I can confirm, none of what was there remains.

You mean the Geneva convention signed AFTER the war in 1949 ? 5 years later ? Swing and a miss old bean.

LOL ... nailed it! Thank goodness the future didn't bring us all those futuristic sounds from back then, though just about every appliance in my house makes SOME kind of noise now.

Shitty. Says more about her than you, but still sucks.

This reminded me of my grandfather, who worked with Italian partisans. I can only hope they looked so dashing.

I swam as a child and was able to do 50meters underwater on a single breath in my teens. Later on, i smoked a pack of camels a day for 12 years. Never once felt winded from them.
What i am trying to say is the camels not winding famous swimmers has more to do with their own conditioning than the cigarettes being "mild".

I'm pretty sure it was. It might have depended on an individuals training though. A Pathfinder taught me. I couldn't even handle a toy gun "unsafely" without hearing about.
"The Gen. Greats" I knew didn't play games with weapons. Most Gen X that know handle them properly. I think that Gen-Next/ Millennials were the first generation to have "fear of weapons" crap instilled in them directly via toy marketing and news.
I think this has really just led to kids becoming adults having not just zero weapons training; but no real understanding of how powerful one is. "I must not think bad thoughts"(X)
