without a cordless owl clock.

Now who doesn’t like a discount scarecrow?

[catbyte]

5. Country kitsch was certainly a thing in the '70s.

Cordlessness did not improve any of these things.

6. My mother had the kitchen re-modeled in 1964.

Above the refrigerator, on the wall, is an electrical outlet to plug in the clock. It's still there.

7. So my uncle is right.

The 70s sucked! ha

10. At least they're not wrapped in double knit.

8. I saw every one of these

in friends parent's homes. In the early 70s these things were totally cool!

OK, yes I'm an old fart.

11. Cordless and...

...FUGLY!

[OhZone]

12. I seem to remember seeing

Beatles everything online somewhere.

Wouldn't that have been better?

Or was that the 60s?

I was born in 1980, and I've been told everything got better after that. ha

13. Red Lobster frightens me.

[Zorro]

15. Y'know 1975 doesn't seem like that long ago to me

16. As ugly they are, those battery powered clocks keep excellent time.

Though sometimes it takes a little dialing in. The batteries last a good while too.

I'd say keep the movement and make your own.

17. That lobster clock will haunt my dreams.

20. Hey! My Mom had the scare crow clock! n/t

[if..fish..had..wings]

22. Laugh if you want, but my milk can was still running perfectly when I sold it

in 2019.
