How old were you when you first got hopped up on goofballs?

[NewWaveChick1981]

:P Yeah, I'm late to the party, but I had to get that copycat in somehow... :rofl: :hi:

[Guava Jelly]

[NewWaveChick1981]

3. I never understood that phrase.

IIRC, goofballs were barbituates, right? Those are depressants, so wouldn't "hopped up" be a hell of a misnomer?

[NewWaveChick1981]

4. It was 50s slang (used mainly by white dads) to refer to getting high...

:rofl: Those WASPs had NO idea what goofballs did to people... :rofl:

[asthmaticeog]

6. OK, that makes sense.

The phrase always did have the ring of "clueless person trying to talk about drugs" to it. I suppose perhaps goofballs may have become a slang term for barbiturates later, ha ha funny ironic wastoids. :D

[NewWaveChick1981]

8. ROFL! Your description hits the nail on the head!

:rofl: That's it exactly. Think "Reefer Madness".... :P

[JackBeck]

25. Back then I'd wear an onion on my belt

It was the fashion at the time.
I used to be with it, but what I'm with isn't it anymore and what's it now is weird and scary to me.

26. God Bless Abraham J. Simpson

He's my most favorite!

[martymar64]

27. I love Grandpa!

But my real favorite is Ralph Wiggums.

"Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me."

29. The Flying Hellfish episode

secured my love for Grampa. I had it (along with several other favorites) recorded a long time ago and, due to my overuse, I wore out the damn tape.

[Merrick]

18. Two!

Only it wasn't goofballs but a bottle of ethanol from my parents' bathroom. My mom says I was pretty trashed and looking to party, but she just fed me a bunch of Gerbers to take the edge off

[NewWaveChick1981]
