I remember

[Mr_Grimbo]

Yeah, I remember watching all of the Apollo missions as a little kid, and wanting to be an astronaut. Came close- turned into a space cadet lol! Good times!

Yeah Stoner I know what you mean... the funeral thing was the first time I decided to be a serial killer! Just kidding.... just kidding.

And as to S+H Green stamps, I still have boxes of them in the basement I found after my parents passed. I remember we got some pretty cool shit with them. We had a store you could go right in and turn them in.

Leisure suits. My dad had some. Even then I realized they looked ridiculous. Giant lapels, flare bottom pants, platform shoes, tight shirts, man that was some jacked up shit.

I could eat anything and not gain an ounce. Wanted to as I was a toothpick but just could not. hehe

Homegrown meant immature buds and leaves. In other words, crappy smoke. Now I get stuff out of my closet grow that I could only dream of then. Indicas were really uncommon back then and would have suited me better.

Video 'porn' was Benny Hill's Angels. Cal Worthington and his dog spot.

C and R clothiers and double knits. With prices this low people are always asking me, 'Eddie are you kidding'?

[FONT=&quot]Those who were born in the 30's, 40's, 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s are the last generation who played in the street. During our childhood we “walked” over a mile a day when we played & played “hide & seek” outside at night with no worries or fear of anything bad happening to us.

[FONT=&quot]We are the first generation who played video games and the last to record songs off the radio onto a cassette tape. We learned how to program a VCR before anyone else, we were the first to play from Atari to Nintendo…We are the generation of Tom & Jerry, Looney Toons, & Captain Kangaroo. We traveled in cars without seat belts or air bags, lived without cell phones and caller ID. We did not have fax machines, flat screens, surround sound, I pods, Facebook, Twitter, computers or the internet, and through it all we had a great time.[/FONT]
