You’ll have to get up from your chair and turn the dial on the TV to change the channel, and make sure that the antennae are pointing in the right direction so you can get a signal. There’s only 4 or 5 channels anyway in the US (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, and some local station putting on whatever cheap programming they can get their hands on. Hello, reruns of Lassie and old Britcoms!).
There’s going to be ashtrays all over the place, even on planes, in cars and at hospital.
Expect a long wait at the gas station with your Chevy Impala if you happen to drop into 1973.
Vinnie Barbarino can say “Up your nose with a rubber hose!” and look cool doing it because he is actually the young John Travolta. You, on the other hand, will look like an ass at the fern bar repeating such nonsense, so don’t say it. And doing that Arnold Horshack “Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!” thing is pathetic; stop.
And don’t bogart all the coke when it’s offered to you in the bathroom at the fern bar. Some things never change.
Ladies, learn to feather your hair properly. Wash first with Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific!. And then buy a case of Aqua Net. And get some of those Candies’ heels for when you’re looking for Mr Goodbar at the disco. They’re so cute ‘n’ sexy!
Mind, I was way too young to hit a disco or a fern bar in those days (I wasn’t of age until the 90s), but I knew stuff like that was going on.
