Hey, old timers we need a new group on DU.

I'd call it
"Recollections".

It would be a group where we could post things from the 'good old days'. For laughs and to preserve some of the funny, unusual, off-beat stuff we remember from the past.
Someday, when we are long gone, some young whipper-snappers can read and wonder what the heck we were talking about.

Posts would be something like this great one that is now current.

Agree and I will propose to the Admin's.
As they get older, they will be able to add their own 'recollections. Never be as good as ours but--everything is old at some time.

I think it would be great fun. Something to divert from the incredible stuff we are reading now.
Edited to add: This is for 'real world' recollections, not DU stuff. For those of an age.....

But I got to see all of the great bands live.

Brooklyn's broken out in fight.
There's a traffic jam in Harlem
That's backed up to Jackson Heights.
A scout troop's lost a child.
Khruschev's due at Idlewild.

And I DO. This could be fun, so I'm in.

[WinkyDink]

9. Sounds good! I've only been here since fall 2004, but I would love it!

[AngryAmish]

10. I see this thread going places.

[NightWatcher]

[rurallib]

13. Come over to the Lounge

you'll find lots of company there

[smirkymonkey]

14. I like the idea!

[Lucinda]

15. +1

[Aristus]

16. Here since September, 2001.

I'm not really big into 'the good old days', which weren't always good. But a group like this sounds like it might be fun.

DU was a lot of fun for the first five years or so. Looking back, I think a lot of it was due to a sort of 'party while the world ends' vibe. But if getting back to the original DU feel meant bringing back the days of Dub-yah, I'd take a pass. Those were awful, awful years.

17. Maybe, since I can't seem to get my

time machine up and running, this might be the next best thing. I need a time machine muffler bearing and can't find one anywhere. I been all over e-bay. Nothin. I'm in.

[Stellar]

20. Good idea!

I guess I wouldn't feel so alone here.

[calguy]

22. Sounds great

I keep telling my wife I've still got the hormones of a 18 year old. Only problem is she keeps telling me I have the equipment of a 65 year old.
I sure hope she's joking!!

[FLPanhandle]

23. Can we compare lawns?

Damn kids keep walking on mine!

24. Stones.
