The San Diego Sockers were a soccer team based in San Diego, California, that played from 1978 to 1996. The team played in the indoor and outdoor editions of the North American Soccer League (NASL) until 1984, as well as the original Major Indoor Soccer League and CISL. The Sockers are considered the most successful indoor soccer team. They made the playoffs in all but one of their 16 seasons of playing indoors. The franchise folded in 1996 and was the last surviving NASL franchise. This design is based on their 1980 logo that featured a scrappy cartoon soccer player ready to duke it out on the pitch.

The Women's Liberation Movement (WLM) was a political alignment of women and feminist intellectualism that emerged in the late '60s and continued well into the '80s, primarily in the industrialized nations of the Western world. The WLM proposed socio-economic change from the political left, rejected the idea that piecemeal equality, within and according to social class, would eliminate sexual discrimination against women, and fostered the tenets of humanism, especially the respect for human rights of all people. The WLM's fight for greater equality in education, the workplace, personal finance, reproductive rights, and conceptions of the role of women was successful in getting a number of laws passed and making lasting changes to society.

1942's Devil's Harvest is another film about the dangers of marijuana in the vein of Reefer Madness, or at least the dangers as they saw them back in the '40s. The story follows an undercover investigator who goes after the people corrupting the nation’s youth by spreading the weed of Satan – MARIJUANA!!! As one might expect, this movie is campy as hell. From the weed dealer using a hot dog stand as a front and serving up joints in the hot dogs, to high school girl Kay taking a single hit of the Devil's lettuce and tearing off her clothes to dance like there is no tomorrow, Devil's Harvest has it all. This movie is definitely worth watching, and probably showing to those you love before they inject just one marijuana and go insane.

Harvey Jones started a business hauling dry freight between Springdale, Rogers, and Fayetteville, Arkansas with two mules and a wagon in 1918. Jones bought his first truck in 1919, and when the M&NA railroad went on strike in 1920, Jones Truck Lines (JTL) began hauling freight between Seligman, Missouri, and Eureka Springs – a route that would have been served by rail. As the strike wore on for years, it was a catalyst for JTL's rapid growth, adding more trucks and routes. Post-war saw JTL buying up smaller lines, making them the largest privately owned carrier in the country in the '50s. As of 1990, JTL had 133 terminals in 23 states throughout the Midwest and South, with 3,300 employees and revenues of $240 million.

On June 6, 1990, 2 Live Crew's “As Nasty As They Wanna Be” became the first record to be declared legally obscene after being banned in many parts of Florida. The rap group went after the government in court, losing when Federal District Judge Jose Gonzales made the ruling that the album violated community obscenity standards across Florida counties. As a result, the album sold more copies than it probably ever would have otherwise, and various 'Censorship Is Un-American' efforts ensued across the country, including this one that has been recreated since free speech never goes out of style.

Night of the Cobra Woman is a 1972 American horror film starring Joy Bang, Marlene Clark, and Roger Garrett. The story starts when Lena, a young nurse in World War II Philippines, is bitten by a cobra which formally belonged to a snake cult, and which gives her the powers of eternal life, beauty, sexual prowess... and the ability to turn into a snake. When a pair of humanitarian aid workers, Joanna and Duff, encounter her many years later, Lena's snake is killed by Duff's pet eagle, leaving Lena no option but to feed on the life-force of young men by having sex with them, starting with Duff. Does this sound ridiculous and absurd? That's because it is. Shot in the Philippines, using what feels like a script on a bunch of mixed up napkins.

Demon Attack is a video game published by Imagic in 1982. Marooned on the ice planet Krybor, the player uses a laser cannon to destroy legions of demons that attack from above. Visually, the demons appear in waves similar to other space-themed shooters, but individually combine from the sides of the screen to the area above the player's cannon. Each wave introduces new weapons with which the demons attack, such as long streaming lasers and laser clusters. Starting in Wave 5, demons also divide into two smaller, bird-like creatures that eventually attempt descent onto the player's cannon. Starting in Wave 9, the demons' shots follow directly beneath the monsters, making it difficult for the player to slip underneath to get in a direct shot.

When you mention surfing, it's usually California or Florida that come to mind, but believe it or not, Texas actually has some pretty decent surf spots. Where this is surf, there are surfers, and where there are surfers, there are guys making surfboards. Such is the case in Houston, where McDonald “Mack” Blaker founded Blaker Surfboards in 1963. For seven years, Mack and his crew of shapers turned out custom Texas style surfboards that were made to order. They closed their doors in 1970, but many of these well-made boards are still out there and high desired by collectors and surfers alike.

The late '80s were saw skateboarding hitting its second stride, and crazy skater designs like 'Ramp Ratz' were everywhere.

In the '50s, audio manufacturers employed the phrase high fidelity as a marketing term to describe records and equipment intended to provide faithful sound reproduction. Consumers found the difference in quality compared to the then-standard AM radios and 78-rpm records, and began migrating to high-fidelity phonographs and 33⅓ LPs. Audiophiles focused on technical characteristics and bought individual components, such as separate turntables, radio tuners, preamplifiers, power amplifiers and loudspeakers. Shops specializing in high fidelity sound began popping up, such as St. Paul, Minnesota's Dad’s HiFi. These shops not only stocked the latest equipment, but also sold the components that allowed enthusiasts to build and mod their systems.

Karmelkorn was an American popcorn retailer founded in 1928 in Casper, Wyoming, by Mr. and Mrs. William O'Sullivan.

Within four years, the O'Sullivans had 535 stores licensed to sell its product in North America, including candy stores and peanut/popcorn stands.

Tucson is very much a college town. Couple that with being a short drive to the Mexican border, and it should come as no surprise that there is no shortage of really good Mexican food options. In 1982, Dirty Sanchez Taco Shop added their name to the list of places to grab a bite. Located in the city's Barrio Hollywood neighborhood, Dirty Sanchez was an unassuming hole in the wall that offered traditional Mexican favorites. Their claim to fame was that they made everything from scratch using abuela's generational recipes. Nothing canned or microwaved – just made fresh daily Mexican food of a quality that rivaled pretty much everyone in town.

I bet you are wondering why I come packed in a closet. ‘Coming out of the closet’ is an expression which means that you admit the truth about yourself and are no longer ashamed of what you are..." Needless to say, Gay Bob is a gay icon.

Rites of Spring was an American punk rock band from Washington, D.C., formed in late 1983. Along with Embrace, and Beefeater, they were one of the mainstay acts of the 1985 Revolution Summer movement which took place within the Washington, D.C. hardcore punk scene. Musically, Rites of Spring increased the frenetic violence and visceral passion of hardcore punk while simultaneously experimenting with its compositional rules. Lyrically, they also shifted hardcore into intensely personal realms and, in doing so, are often considered the first emo band, though the band always rejected the label. This iconic design comes from the band's only studio album, a self-titled effort from 1985.

By the early 19th century, Mexico's middle class had grown tired of sharing their wealth with Spain, and calls for independence began to grow. The Independence movement was launched by two priests, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, and José María Morelos. These men stood up to Spain with a handful of men freed from Spanish imprisonment in 1810, but grew them to over 100,000 in a matter of days, and their numbers only grew from there as they took back cities from the Spanish. Hidalgo was executed in 1811, and Morelos in 1815, but the movement was only strengthened as a result. On September 28, 1821, the first independent government was named, just over a decade after it began, but was followed by thirty years of great political turmoil.
