The Social Entropy Speakeasy (nsf56k)

Remember the 1920s? A time when men were fellas and women were dames with gams like skyscrapers? A time when booze was bootleg and your uncle's warehouse was a secret speakeasy? Yep, them was some darb times ...

What did the 1920's give us? Why:

PROHIBITION

Actually, that wasn't so much fun. We hadda put up with 13 years of that applesauce.

But the SPEAKEASIES were fun.

Flappers, fine tomatoes I tel ya, danced the night away. If you were lucky you'd get to see a knee or two.

Such great gams

Lets not forget

TheGreatGatsby.jpg

Darb, no? A true gem of a book.

Oh, and then there's first real scifi movie, born about 1927

But the 1920's greatest contribution?

PROBLEM SLEUTH
