Everyone is getting in on the action.

CB Radios - Still Cheesy After All These Years

For my readers out there under 35, you probably don't remember the old CB radio. I remember asking for one and I'm sure my parents thought CB's were too white trash so I never got one. Or they thought it was way to complicated for me:

Mom: I think we should get him a CB for Christmas.

Dad: Sally, it's mechanical. What it it breaks down? Do you want to be driving it to the Radio Shack or Audioland at the Farmer's Market to get it fixed every other day?

Mom: That's true, and don't CB's involve some kind of math knowledge? I think they said that on 60 minutes.

Dad: Exactly.

Anyways, here's a link to to some CB lingo. From the list, here are a few of my favorites:

"Watch Your Donkey" - Police are coming up behind you.

"Toenails in the radiator" - Full speed.

"Professional Beaver" - Hooker.

"Chicken Coup is Clean" - Weigh station is closed.

Now, enjoy the cheesy Convoy performance from the Mike Douglas Show. This performance ties it for me -along with Disco Duck - of what sickens me about the 70's . Look how serious CW McCall is. And you know he's proud of his performance. Puh-lease.
