Kansas City Shitty

Term used by Midwesteners back in the 70s, referring to locally grown marijuana, which then was highly inferior in quality. Any "domestic" weed would only be acquired as a last resort if no Mexican was available.

I smoked some of that Kansas City Shitty and all I got was a headache and a sore throat.

Broad Street Bullies 

The Philadelphia Flyers teams of the 1970s. They were so mean, rough, and vicious that other teams were intimidated and scared shitless to play them.

First Edition (1972-1975) featured Dave "The Hammer" Schultz, Bob "The Hound" Kelly, Andre "Moose" Dupont, and Don "Big Bird" Saleski.

Second Edition (1976-1981) included Paul Holmgren, Mel Bridgman, Behn Wilson, Dave Hoyda, Glen Cochrane, and Ken "The Rat" Linseman. Those were the scariest teams in hockey history.

Third Edition (1981-approx. 1987) included Dave Brown, Rick Tocchett, Daryl Stanley and Craig Berube.

Man do I miss those days of the Broad Street Bullies and Big Bad Bruins.

L.A. Woman 

Song by the Doors from the 1971 album of the same name. 7 minutes 49 seconds of pure adrenelin. One of the greatest driving songs ever.

There is nothing like driving around on a spring day with L.A. Woman blasting at maximum volume.
