    We must be the same age based on your memories! I love this thread.

    How 'bout slinkys
    Home made slingshots, wishing for a "wrist Rocket" from the magazine ads
    Hot Rod Magazine with ads for Thrush mufflers (girls) and features on custom vans (more girls)
    Using a magnifying glass to start little leaf fires
    Pushing mercury drops around with your finger
    Making art designs with a magnet and metal shavings
    Building a tree house

    Getting in so much trouble you are pretty sure your parents WILL actually kill you.

    ooohhh...

    What was the subscription service they had in the 80's, where movies were transmitted at midnight through wasted bandwidth on regular channels? You needed a decoder and that new invention the VCR to record it... Was that On-TV or something?

    If you played with the tv dial just so, you could kind of make out fuzzy porn at midnight... ;)

    Did anybody else ride their bikes behind and thru the mosquito truck fog?
    How about picking up the phone handset and hearing ''number please''[ locally it would be a 3 digit number] and the operator knowing who you were and who you were calling[my 'Papa' was the SouthernBell supervisor so I spent Saturday running around the switchboard room where they pulled those plugs in and out of boards the livelong day]. He was proud of the day they switched over to dial tone self dialing with an area code and a prefix number which had a code name like Hemlock7[instead of HE7 for 437-****]
    I remember Harry Truman on TV announcing the ''end of the war'' in Korea...huh.
    cheers,

    I remember when the money that you saved to your 401K would increase in value. Instead of decrease. :(

    Remember when we respected the blue collar jobs of others such as The Milk Man, Garbage Collectors and the Corner Butcher?

    I remember when being a crossing guard with the safety patrol was a cool job in grade school.

    Tony Franklin. For some reason I just thought about him on Saturday. Soccer-style place kickers were a novelty.
