Twister was always a fun party game!
What music do you think they're dancing to? Beach Boys?

Sadly, I never got to try playing Twister unclothed.

(57,586 posts)His step-daughter was there, and I got to meet her future (at the time) husband. They did get married, and they have a kid. The future husband was in his mid- to late-20s maybe. I dunno.
Anyway, he (the future husband) said, as I was leaving, that he thought it was cool that I had worn an old school ski parka. He might have said old school, or retro, or throwback; at my age, I can't recall.
Which was of course just another piece of my normal clothing, the same stuff I wear day in and day out.
I can't find an image quite like it, but it was an insulated CB ski jacket, more or less like this, but royal blue:

I see you now get those from a "clothing vault." Yeah, whatever. These guys are obviously buying these at yard sales and thrift stores, and then jacking up the price to a frightening level.
It's soooooo warm.

(57,586 posts)It looks like a stock photo from forever ago.
Twister has been around since at least 1966: {edited: this is "an" original commercial. It is not necessarily "the" original commercial.}

heh, did I ever tell you, my parents hired a girl from a very poor family to babysit - she literally wore a hole in the carpet dancing to my dad's Beatles records
