I remember my dad pulling pop tops on the beach when I was 6 or 7 so they must have still been making them around 1983-1985.

Still made them for sure 85 and possible 86.  Roommate in college built a beer can wall and had pull tab garland all around the place

i graduated high school in 87 and we used to make earrings out of the pull tabs so they were definitely still available to some degree in 85-87

I recall that in the late 70's or early 80's Coors had that stupid pop top that required you to push down on the top of the can with your finger or thumb in two different spots where the opening was attached to the lid.  If you did it correctly the opening piece of aluminum would be pushed into the can but the top would stay attached to the lid--thus helping control litter.  The problem was that people were cutting the hell out of their fingers/thumbs on the edge of the opening so they had to go back to the pull tabs until something like the current lever system was adopted.

We have all been there. The attitude that WE are somehow the one that is asking a dumb question. I could seriously watch this all damn day.

Totally agree but you had to take what you could get at 16/17 years old.  I would hate to taste one of those damn things today.

How about wives and the shit they don’t say or do? I am starting to get frustrated with my wife not speaking Portuguese to our daughters at least 90% of the time. I would say it’s maybe half the time. They will never learn enough from that and me speaking (though I am comfortable speaking it, I make mistakes). They speak English enough outside the house. It’s fucking annoying and worse that if I mention it she claims she does in fact speak it to them most of the time. Fuck.

Are you moving to Portugal or Brazil? If not, why does it matter if your kids speak a language that doesn't do them any good in Texas?

Really? First off, it certainly can help them in Texas. It helped me get a job in oil and gas. Plus, speaking multiple languages is never a bad thing. When we visit Brazil it would be great for them to be able to communicate with family. Maybe they decide to study a year there in college or do grad school? And as already mentioned, picking up other Romance languages after learning one is a lot easier. Why not take advantage of it now while their brains are like sponges. I resented that my dad only taught us kitchen Spanish and tiny bit of Portuguese. I took it upon myself to learn. He regrets it to this day.

Hey, your house, your rules. To me, it sounds like "Old Jewish dad yelling at kids to stop with that meshuggeneh English and speak Yiddish, damnit!"

Where is she from? My wife is from a shitty town in the interior of São Paulo (not as shitty as where my grandmother was from). Met her when I lived in Campinas.

Good, you and your kids (if you have them) won’t have a Carioca accent. Sorry Hefe, it’s grates on me and I have several Carioca friends.

Rules.

Jax was good beer. My old man kept Pearl Light in the fridge because it was the absolute cheapest "beer" he could find. He wasn't poor. He wasn't poor because he refused to spend money.

Pretty sure it was just, "Beer." Or if you were on a diet, "Light Beer."

Coors talk not going away:

I remember when we left California in 1980 to visit my dad's family in Indiana, my uncle begged my dad to bring some Coors back for him, as you couldn't get it in Indiana at the time. I believe because it wasn't pasteurized, but I was a kid so I have no idea.
