    Ah yes, Rosemary Davis who lived two doors from me in Islington, Ontario. My 1st 'True Love'!!!!

    I think the highpoint of our relationship was when we held hands.

    Kinda like how you use your imagination when reading a book instead of watching the movie.

    Cornell University use to buy fireflies for a nickle each. I had a huge glass jar of those bad boys, stayed up all night catching them. About 3/4 of the way to the lab on my bike boom I dropped the jar. :(

    Marvel Comics Crazy magazine. I used to collect them as well as Mad magazine & National Lampoon, I wasn't a fan of Cracked though.

    The candles and holders are available from German or Austrian stores. The trick is to find a suitable tree. Unsheared fraser Fir is best we've found.

    Does anyone remember "astronaut food/snacks"? they were these sticks of chocolate or peanut butter stuff... less chewy than a tootsie roll, larger than one but similar idea.

    The Drive In theater and a Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser Station wagon stuffed with 9 or ten people on the carload for $6 night.

    Last movie I saw at the drive in was Jaws, the lot is a Best Western hotel now.

    Riding mini bikes in the back yard. Yup had a good sized yard, no one out here has those anymore.

    It wa a Benelli (sp), we also had a Honda 50 and some kind of Sears 5HP mini bike with NO suspension. Unless you consider your ass a part of the suspension.

    Yep. Honda Trail 70. I had a Yamaha 80 little 2 stroke too, not YZ. I think every neighborhood had one of those 5 HP mini-bikes. They were awful.

    I was a regular Mad reader, never got into Cracked, National Lampoon I liked...it was nasty.

    That must be similar in spirit to what we called "queer hooks"...the little hanging loop at the center back stitching of standard oxford button-down shirts...if you didn't take it off the shirt, other guys would grab it and yell "queer"...wierd mid-1960's social custom, I guess.

    I had the AFX set with 4 lanes, so you could race 4 Indy cars at a time.
    I loved that set...but it never worked right.

    Everytime I go on Ebay... I see something that reminds me of being a kid.
    My wife knows this and gets me silly stuff, I got these VHS videos for Christmas and love the way it reminds me of Saturday afternoon watching Creature Feature with my little brother
