I tell ya, it ain't easy being Martha Stewart.....
Consider it an honor and a priviledge that the torch has been passed to you as the head of the clan.

23 people and you have a work detail.
8 people and 3 cats they all sit around asking when do we eat?
8 is just enough to over load the stove so everything has to be cooked in shfits for meals. I want scrambled. I want over easy, I want medium but not runny. I want over hard but not burnt. I want soft boiled and runny.
SHADDUP!
You're going to get what I can get out and there will be no bitching or moaning. I want one line and one line only. When you get served, you will go straight to the table and start eating. There will be no seconds and you will bring the dishes back to the sink. Am I understood?
I can't hear you!
You will stat each repsonse with a loud and clear "SIR!" and end with a loud and clear "SIR!"
Am I understood? "SIR, YES, SIR"
The only FOUR responses out of your mouths will be Sir, Yes, Sir; Sir, No, Sir; Sir, no Excuse, Sir; and "Sir, I do not understand, Sir!"
I knew those 3 years in the Army and watching Mail Call with R. Lee Ermey would be useful.
"Take that turkey leg out of your piehole and stand at attention, maggot!"
Now that's the way to run dinner for 23!

Talking about eggs ever which way. I found an egg casserole recipe that can be assembled the night before or done the same morning and it was great!!! Made things a LOT easier in the morning. Fills a 9"x13" glass dish and tastes even better with Pace chunky salsa!!
I think this WAS the practice but I'll keep that in mind.
Oh yeah, to keep this on topic for the "real" old farts, how about,
"Gort . . . Klatoo Barotta Nictoe, Klatoo Barotta Nictoe"

Did anyone see the broadcast Happy Day's show when Robin Williams appeared for the first time as Mork? I remember calling people to ask if they saw the show it was soo funny. Nanoo, nanoo. The rest is history.
Mork....what a character that launched a career.

Reminds me of my geezer days in Army Airborne School in Fort Benning Georgia.....no we did not use track suits nad jogging shoes. It was fatiques and black leather boots and it better be shined up each day after being in mud nad gunk the day before....anyway, the best was this black cap yelling at this poor trainee, "Who told you to stop huh? Who told you to stop. When I tell to drop, you'd do it till I GET TIRED!"
23 years ago and I can still remember my student jump number C-142.
"Charlie One For Two" drop and give me twenty.

at 44 I am in the "older group" 
Still...I get up twice a week at 5am for a dawn surf before many of my younger counterparts have rolled over for the second time in the night.
Yes, I might have less hair, a bigger gut and a slower reaction time but I make up for all of that with the feeling that I am still able to do whatever I did in my 20's (well except pick up chicks, which the wife sort of frowns on
)
While I love the bands of the 60's and 70's, current rock bands still get time on my audio - I love my music loud:rocker:

Can't let such a great thread die.
If you were a child of the 70's and earlier, then you can certainly remember . . . . .
We had no child-proof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets,
and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. We used wooden clothes pins to hold playing cards to our banana seat bike frame so our spokes would make cool noises going down the road. Some of us had 3 speed hub "English racers."
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and
no one actually died from this. The bottles were usually 6.5 oz Cokes in green glass bottles.
We ate cupcakes, bread and butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendos, X-boxes; no video
games at all, no channels on cable, no video tape movies, no Surround-Sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms. WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth, and there
were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms,
and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out many eyes, nor did the worms live in us forever.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the
door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
Little league had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was
unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
I think I'm going to go run through the office with scissors now.

And learning Fortran on those danged punched cards and hating syntax errors and what it took to fix them (punch a new card and recompile) and graduating one year and the school purchasing a new CRT terminal system the very next year. Arrrrgggg.
I wrote a tick tack toe program in Fortran. It worked great. Took 7 sheets to print it. I've still got it somewhere and it's on green lined computer paper. No floppies back then. We're talking 1978.
