I just found my Swatch clear watch from the 80s. Thank God its dead. I remember the damn ticked so loud, I would try to bury the damn thing in my sock drawer to keep it quiet. Even then some times I had to take it to the bathroom and close the door. Damn things were LOUD.

Sentimental value. First GF gave it to me. On her other hand she did cheat on me. I think a nice 50 bmg should go through it nicely. |
|
|
There you go! |

I still have mine stashed away somewhere. Neon protective band and all. [totally rad dude]
|
|
I see a little happy tree and happy bush in that painting. |
|

Off topic: I remeber this guy. Bob Ross. He'd paint these great landscapes in about 20 minutes and then he would paint this big ass tree right in the middle of the damn thing. If someone would have just hit him with a shovel about 22 minutes into each show they could have saved a lot of nice pictures. With that said, back to your regularly scheduled gay watch thread. |
|
|
Yeah, he's dead now... |
||
|
One might argue that he died for painting trees.
He was killed to cover something up, and I intend on getting to the bottom of this. |
|
My wife used to scream "this guy needs a fifteen minute show so he can quit destroying his paintings!" every time he did that... which was every single time! |
|
|
That is the funniest thing i have read all day......hahahahaha |

Wow . Bob Ross was a posative role model for me when I was a kid . He inspired me to try painting because he mazde it look like any one could do it .

Swatch Watches=
Along with those fucking "parachute" pants. Some people are such sheep. |
|
shit man swatches were kids stuff, I been wearing elgins since 78'.
|
|
Don't shoot it - if it's one of the clear "Jelly" Swatches from the mid-80s it's worth $200 on eBay. Sell it and use the money for Hookers & Blow. Then send the cheating bitch pics! |

|
Is that more than regular cash? |
|
|
PICS
I had one of those. Back when I thought having the same clothes as popular rich kids would also make me rich and popular. Total cargo-cult thinking. |
|
Put it on; you're gonna like what you see. Members Ooooooooonly. When you put it on, something happens to you! |
|
|
But of course. Never had the parachute pants though. |
|
|
When I go out on the weekends, I have several swatches that I wear up both my forearms, which are clearly visible as I keep the sleeves bunched up on my red Members Only Jacket.
|
|
I know a guy that would still wear his. About a year ago I finally had to tell him to, "throw it away because it makes you look like an idiot". He doesn't wear it anymore, but I bet you a dollar he still has it. |
|
|
I proudly sported my Swatch, with my Vaurnet sunglasses, T&C t-shirt and pink Sperry Top-siders

A pox upon those who ridicule Bob Ross!!!! A POX, I SAY!!!!!!
Bob Ross was like the Mr. Rogers of the adult world....I have seen the meanest and cruelest of people reduced to mouse quiet babes as they watched him paint...... He's probably done more to calm and relax people than all of the psychotherapists on the planet. Bob Ross is dead. Bob Ross is dead. LONG LIVE BOB ROSS!!!! now back to the swatch bit....... |
|
I think PBS paid Mister Rogers to whack him. |
|
|
Mr. Rogers was a Navy S3AL or Marine Sniper, I forget which. He could handle the painter himself. |

|
AMEN! Bob Ross was da MAN! |

Members Only jackets. My sixth grade teacher had at least half a dozen, in different colors, that he'd wear all the time. I remember the kids in the class would always ask him "are you in a country club". Oh man, those jackets, along with hypercolor T-shirts, Reebok pump sneakers, Swatch watches... |
|
I liked the show. Wife and I watched it a lot on PBS. The only thing we liked on PBS. I just hated that damn tree he always painted at the last minute. "Now. I think big, beautiful tree lives right here in front of the mountain and river I just spent an hour painting..." |
