Remember When...

[kwillia]

I busted my hymen on one of those.

That's your story and you're stickin' to it...

Houses had 1 phone and it was in the kitchen 99% of the time.

 

[Pete]

Some kid puked at school and the janitor came and put sawdust on it and swept it up.

 

[Pete]

Getting your ass kicked by mom because she caught you outside playing while still wearing your "school clothes".

The God forsaken crushed velour shirts with the zipper and the zipper pull was a big metal circle, hoop thing.

Remember getting on your bike (we didn't have helmets back then) and collecting bottles on the side of the road? Picking them up, putting them in your front basket, taking them to get the deposits, and buying Sweet Tarts or whatever treat you wanted?

THOSE were the days! I feel so sorry for kids nowadays not being able to feel the wind whip through their hair as they coast down hills on their bikes.

On a banana seat or a banana hammock?

Remember when.....

Pete was banned from the forum.

 

[Dutch6]

Penny candy was a penny?

A Five and Dime actually sold stuff for that price.

Penny Loafers with the penny in them.

Do they still make pennies?

 

[Pete]

Remember when.....

Pete was banned from the forum.

Don't hate.

On a banana seat or a banana hammock?

I had to go onto the shoulder of the road, hit a bump, landed on the tip of the seat, and then onto the "boy" part of the bike. No banana hammock.

Remember watching Gene Autry and Roy Rogers on a black and white TV.


Seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show.

 

[Wenchy]

That's your story and you're stickin' to it...

Yes.

Thats back when you had "boy" bikes and "girl" bikes. The upper crossmember being on a "boy" bike never made sense to me. Seemed backwards

I don't know if this has been posted, but remember when Michael Jackson was black?

 

[Dutch6]

in my flannel jammies with sponge rollers in my hair.

When a sacry movie was Dracula and Frankenstien.

Remember selling nightcrawlers for a penny apiece.

 

[Agee]

Thermos bottles in your metal lunch box had glass liners.

and the inside of the lunch box smelled the same regardless of what kind of lunch was in it

I beg to differ. an Underwood deviled ham sammich had a smell unequalled.

OMG... I suddenly remember that smell...
