Want a heart-shaped bathtub? :shrug:

Honeymoon Destination To Sell Heart-Shaped Tubs
Bob Hope, Tony Bennett Performed At Lodge

MOUNT POCONO, Pa. -- It was once the jewel of the Poconos, but now the Mount Airy Lodge is dank, musty and not worth much more than some of its parts can bring at a March auction.

How about a nice, heart-shaped bathtub, or 80? They'll be for sale March 5-6 along with Engelbert Humperdinck's gold-painted headboard and thousands of other items.

1. The `70s were over...
... by 1977. It's a sign of those times that no one noticed. :)

What a horrid decade... if "Saturday Night Fever" had flopped, we might never had had to endure thirty more years of John Travolta. Might never had to endure Helen Reddy and ABBA and the BeeGees on Muzak everywhere. Might never have had to look at white polyester shoes. Might never have had the Pinto to worry about--or 8-track tape players. Nixon and the war would have disappeared on New Year's Eve, 1969.

Ah, well, that's not the way time works.... :)
