Bell Bottoms?
The poolhall's a great equalizer. In the poolhall, nobody cares how old you are, how young you are, what color your skin is or how much money you've got in your pocket... It's about how you move. I remember this kid once who could move around a pool table like nobody had ever seen. Hour after hour, rack after rack, his shots just went in. The cue was part of his arm and the balls had eyes. And the thing that made him so good was... He thought he could never miss. I know, 'cause that kid was me.

Has anyone noticed that lots of retro things are coming back? Lots of stuff listed in this thread, I'mf amiliar with, but it's because it's around again, rather than being a part of my childhood, although (scarily enough) some of this stuff was around during my childhood.
