I’ve only used one of those machines a couple of times. I remember seeing them everywhere when I was a kid, but when I was old enough to smoke they had all but disappeared.

The first time was when I was about 14 in Kansas for the KU basketball camp with a friend. His family had relatives scattered all over the state, so we spent part of the trip making the rounds and visiting them. One stop was a small town where his uncle & grandma lived.

For some reason, we ended up at a VFW type bar with his uncle in the middle of the afternoon. I assume he was in charge of keeping an eye on us while my friend’s mom was away. There were a few old-timers in there not really paying attention, and my friend got the idea that we should try to buy a pack of cigarettes from the vending machine without anyone noticing.

Naturally, we couldn’t get the thing to work. It either jammed or we were doing something wrong. Then his uncle walked over. I was sure we were about to get chewed out. Instead, he worked some kind of magic, and got the machine to cough up our smokes. He handed them to us, and walked away without saying a word. :lol:

I still remember sitting on the front porch of his grandmother’s smoking one of those cigarettes on the night of the Atlanta Olympics bombing. I also remember seeing the movie showgirls for the first time on that trip. :lol:

The other time was at a bar in wrigleyville after a cubs game drunk off my arse.

Damn. Sorry for your loss. Pics of Nymeria were GOAT.

Is this show utter woke girl bossing nonsense? I’ve always assumed so, and just stayed away, but a few people I know have mentioned they like it.

Scum. Gtfo.
