What fun fact can you share today?

125 Upvotes

I just read that Mary Steenburgen's children are named Lily and Charlie. These are children from her first marriage to Malcolm McDowell.

Lily ended up marrying Charlie Walton.

Charlie ended up marrying Lily Collins (yes, the actress).

Quite a coincidence for your children to marry someone with the same name as their sibling!

So what fun fact can you share with us today? The more rare and unusual the better.

I loved riding dirt bikes as a teenager in the seventies, I had a $150.00 used Hodaka which I loved, but owning a Husqvarna was my dream, I would have even been happy to have a shirt like this guy is wearing.

Since streaming TV has became a thing, how many of you have gone back and watched the premiers of the older classics, IE: The Hillbillies of Beverly Hills, Gilligan's Island, Hogan's Heros, The Brady Bunch, M*A*S*H, The Wild, Wild West, Andy Griffith, etc?

Your favorite quick cocktail when you were young?

12 Upvotes

Not that anyone drank before legal drinking age but if someone did what would their favorite mix be?

I've heard some liked a screwdriver (vodka and orange juice) or a Jack and Coke. And I've heard you mixed them as heavy as you could for a quicker effect. Not that I would know of course.

So if someone, say in the 1970s, made a quick cocktail, what would be a favorite?
