ION, I had steak, eggs, hashed browns, toast and juice for breakfast. Why am I hungry three hours later?
Must be some alien parasite living in my chest, huh?
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
When did they stop using them, anyway?
The stay-tab (cool! learn something new every day!) was patented in 1975; pull-tabs had been around since the early 60s. Also, Wikipedia has EVERYTHING. [link]

When, not why. They're of the same generation as the vending machines at the summer family camp still having glass bottles. (And doors! You put your money in, the door unlocked, and you pulled a bottle from the slot and all the other slots then locked down!) That was late seventies/early 80s.

I also remember the toe in the faucet episode. And I had a crush on Johnny Gage and M best friend had a crush on Roy, so it was all good.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
LOVED the old bottle machines. If I still lived in the southwest I bet I would have one by now. We would get Fanta Orange and Grape from them and if we were really lucky they would partially freeze when opened and you would get slushy soda. mmmmmmm.

Oh, you totally would!
I remember drinking 7-up and Squirt. And Orange Crush because I spilled it all over my Holly Hobby sleeping bag when the wind blew the tentpole over while I was inside.

I love Emergency, mostly because I had a crush and I remember no episodes.
Apparently I am msbelle AND sophia.
And me, too! I don't remember individual episodes, just the use of the word "Rampart" (the hospital, IIRC), Randolph Mantooth's gorgeous good looks, and the fact that I was really freaked out when I first saw the movie M*A*S*H and saw Bobby Troop saying, "Goddamn Army!" Doctor Whats-his-name isn't supposed to swear!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
There is a Rampart district here in LA, and whenever we pass the Rampart street signs, the DH does the emergency radio call form that show.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
just the use of the word "Rampart" (the hospital, IIRC),
Hah! Yes.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The Shield was initially called Rampart.
