Golf Cart drive-in was a blast!

[nONIE]

Have a couple of complaints aboout the golf cart drive in. The screen was way too low and the sound was way too soft. so basically we couldnt see or hear the movie. Lots of people were leaving after just a few minutes into the movie.

However, We did have a great time thanks to the super fun people in the cart next to us. They kept feeding us for 2 hours until the movie started. Also had some great conversation with them so the lead up to the movie was a great time. The night was not a total loss. Whoever they were..... Thanks for a great evening!

Nonie,

We went to the "Odd Couple" on Wed night....got there about 7:30, so, didn't do that much tailgating and ended up in the back. When the movie started, we thought, uh oh, this is not gonna work....sound was too low, people were still talking loudly, and so much western sky backlight that picture wasn't very clear. We also noticed how many people left after the first 5 mins.

Anyway, about 10 mins into the movie, we moved up a couple of rows and it got darker out so sound was better and view was better and that still is, 40 years later, a very funny movie. We enjoyed it...first drive-in movie in 20+ years. Not something we would do every month, but, for a special event, it was fun.

Glad you enjoyed it.

07,

Yes it definitely was out of the ordinary so it was a fun time. As you said, worth going to from time to time. Just one more thing in TV to keep us feeling like kids again! Its going to be very difficult to leave this paradise. Im starting to get upset already and I have a month left!
Any suggestions on how to get the hubs to finally retire???? :dontknow:

Nonie,

Where is the golf cart drive-in? Can I bring a date? What's it like to "make out" in the front seat of a golf cart (unless you have a 4 seater?).

Sorry these are important questions for us "kids"!!

Kathie,

You and I share some of the same concerns. But now I have to ask a question that is probably going to go even further to convince people that I am completely nuts:

Do you or does anyone else out there remember being at the drive-in, steaming up the windows, when some guy would knock on the window collecting for the "Will Rogers Fund"?

This did not happen just once. It happened all the time.

Anybody????

Kathie, you are such a nut, If you can twist your body in the shape of an Aunt Annies pretzel, youve got it made in the shade. at our age, isnt the movie more interesting then it used to be?? HU HU HU???

I could never think your nuts, look at me!!! Your the funniest female poster on TOTV, great wit, love it.

Is that what he wanted?? OMG, I wouldn't know, I never came up for air!! LOL!

Your fan, Kathie :redface:

But Kathie,

It was real. And he would knock insistently, incessantly, until somebody would yell at him to GO AWAY.

Heck, I never did find out what the "Will Rogers Fund" was. Maybe Tal will know. He is a bit young, but I think one time he wrote about Will Rogers or had a picture or something.

I don't know if you have ever heard this or not, but it has been said that women who are now of a "certain age" (ahem) are absolutely extraordinary kissers because that is pretty much all we did (mostly) at those drive-ins.

And it is the absolute truth, that when the Cuban missiles were pointed right at us, my very first teenybopper thought was, " :edit:, now I am going to die, pure as the driven snow."

OK. Have I managed to hijack this thread? But maybe not. It is about drive-ins.

Pure as the driven snow was important to us "good girls" back then wasn't it....hmmmm do you think that's why we want to move now, to where it's hot-hot-hot? ;)

[Muncle]

All this remembrance has caused me to rethink my golf cart plans. I've wanted to upgrade to a Yesteryear or StreetRod cart. Now I think I'll try to find one modeled after a 60's era Rambler. You remember the ones where the seats fully reclined, and I do mean fully.


~~~~~~~~~~~~

An aside. I remember one night at the submarine races, I was with this nubile young thing and we were making out hot and heavy. I ask if she wanted to go into the back seat. "No!" she responded. We kept making out even more passionately. I asked again, and again she said no. After about 10 more minutes of increase "petting" I almost pleaded, "Do you want to go to the back seat now?" "NO!", she replied. "I wanna stay up here with you."

I wish.

[Boomer]

Here it is again. Drive-ins.

Things that go bump in the night. :redface: (I am referring to the thread.)

How did I miss these two comments yesterday? I was feeling all alone after I said that all we ever did was kiss. Everybody left.

I have to tell you, S&T, when Mr. Boomer and I were having dinner on the porch at Urban Flats last fall, I found out where at least one of "that kind of girl" that we all knew about in high school had gone. You should have seen the show going on at the outside bar.

And Muncle, my guess is that you didn't wanna "talk" to her, didya?

And I still hope somebody out there knows about the Will Rogers Fund. Didn't anybody else ever have that guy pounding on the window?

[villages07]

OK, Boomer, here you go....you were not imagining things. Just think, you turned these fund raisers away, and they were trying to make this a better world!!! Do you feel guilty now?

Thank you. It is good to know that I did not make this up. I was beginning to wonder.

I read the link. So there was a trailer, huh?

...So anyway, there was a little short, or whatever they were called then, running on the screen, explaining the Will Rogers Fund. I don't know how I could have missed that. ::)

Well, I guess it is too late to feel guilty now. But if I think about it long enough and I begin to, I suppose I could put the check in the mail.

You know...I guess I could have given him that dime my mom always made sure I had with me so I could call home for someone to pick me up, in case any of those boys "only wanted one thing."

Yep, that's what she said.

Didn't your mom give you a dime and tell you the same thing?

No wonder women of a "certain age" are such extraordinary kissers like I said above. Between the guy banging on the window for the Will Rogers Fund and our mothers' words ringing in our ears, how could we not be in a constant state of guilt?

I think it was Erma Bombeck who said, "Guilt: The gift that keeps on giving."
