I'd give this a 2 on the Troll-o-meter... good enough to click on the
topic, but too amateurish to take seriously and respond intelligently to.

And that's being generous, too! :-)

Besides, I HAD to vote for ol' George......my favorite
singer/songwriter/actor/actress/tv
personality didn't bother to tell me who to vote for. :-o

I have several Nixon stickers left over from 1972, and I put one on my
Explorer (there, got the truck in this thread finally).

I did this because (a) I'm an old fart; (b) I didn't care for either
candidate, although I ended up voting for Kerry; (c) Nixon was a crook, but
he was a benign crook; (d) I'm an old fart. Oops, I said that already.
Well, old farts have lousy memories.

It was interesting to watch people pull up behind me at a light with that
sticker on my rear window. Some laughed out loud, others looked bewildered
(mostly youngsters who don't know who he was). still others looked
thoughtful. Good old Tricky Dick - I really do kinda miss him. He'd
probably be considered a liberal today.

At least nobody was moaning about voter apathy this time around. That is a
very good thing.

I still have the Nixon wrist watch, but the Spiro T. Agnew watch was
cooler.

Absolutely - check out the current "Doonesbury" with Mark & his
boyfriend (name escapes me now) discussing Nixon & current politics.

Heh, I have an original Dirty Time Co. Spiro Agnew wrist watch with
original band.

Which means it's probably legit, considering the Mirror banner.

The problem I had with my watch was it never worked except in election
years, and it quit working when he left office. ( grinning ).
Seriously, are these things worth more than the pot metal and paint they're
made of? Gotta do something. My dear old dad threw out my comic book
collection when I went in the service over 30 years ago....had some pretty
decent Spiderman, Superman, etc of the DC comics....back then they sold for
a whopping 9 cents, then I cussed when they raised the price to 12 cents. I
wonder what they would be worth now. Hell, I can't even remember what a
comic book sells for now.

John, there's one on Ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW.

The starting bid is $9.99, and as of now, there have been no bids. Well,
not really a surprise, now is it? I do miss Nixon, but not old Spiro. That
nattering nabob of negativism!
