The 70s continue to haunt me

I have always said that we, as a species, should apologize to all other species for the decade known as the 1970s. We were an embarrassment to every living thing on the planet earth.

We had polyester leisure suits, we had fake wood paneling, we had bright-white shag rugs, we had burnt-orange corduroy couches, we had avocado green appliances and we had a car called the Gremlin.

We also had this shitty wallpaper:

I am in the process of stripping the wallpaper off our family room walls and I discovered that atrocity under two layers of wallpaper and some paint.

And to top it off, it is glued directly onto wallboard. No sizing, no paint, no nothing. Just glue on the wallboard paper. That means there is no way to remove it without destroying the wallboard. That means I will be patching all the seams and damage, sanding it smooth and then painting it with a nice thick oil-based primer.

The Bruins are off tonight, the Red Sox are on vacation and the Patriots are probably getting drilled by their coaches.

Guess I'll be catching up on my DVRs this evening.

Speaking of sportages, the Mets beat the Braves in game one of their double-header. This means they are now guaranteed one of the NL wildcard slots.

If the Mets win tonight's game, they will be the number 5 seed, the Braves will be eliminated, the Mets will take on the Padres and the Diamondbacks will become the number 6 seed.

If the Braves win tonight's game, the Mets will be the number 6 seed and they will take on the Brewers while the Braves will become the number 5 seed. The Diamondbacks will be eliminated

Go Mets!
