Quoted from OLDPINGUY:OK, So who had bottle Rocket Fights as a Kid around the 4th of July?
We used to launch the them from a hollow metal broom handle using the broom
Side As the stock of the gun. Thank goodness we didn’t shoot their eyes out.
Quoted from mooch:Carpet in the bathroom? Big mistake. My Mom did our bathroom in plush shag back in the 70s. I came home one night in my College years full of Stroh’s and Rumple Minze and hurled all over it. That sent all that plush into the dumpster in a hurry.
Or think how many times you missed the target!
Quoted from OLDPINGUY:Ill do it in my 3rd grade memory.
What are these? Paper wrapped in a box? Open one up, and see.
I can twirl it has a string and its in a carboard "popsicle" tube.... Ill take it apart.
What happens when it gets wet? Wow! It gets like 5 times bigger!!!
It says Natural Cotton.Cool, lets fire them in the bathtub...Wow, I can use the cardboard plunger like a pop gun, and fire these at my boats!
Do they Burn? Lets try and see! Oh yes! they Burn Great!
Lets put the Boats in the sink, and Fire them Lit and hit the Boat!
Missed! Missed! Too much smoke from
stomping them out!
Mom: Whats Burning? Its in the bathroom.

That’s pretty funny!
Quoted from BudManPinFan:An appropriate image for 4/20. Back in the 80’s you could tell if a person ‘partied’ if they had one of these hanging from the rear view mirror of their car.
Roach clip
Quoted from zr11990:Doesnt everyone use these to work on pins? they are great for holding wires together to solder.

Funny, we had a milkman also, one day after school I noticed the watch children sign in our yard was hit by a car, ( we lived on a corner ). Found out later when I overheard my mom saying it was the milkman, apparently he was up the street in the neighbors house giving the lady of the house a special delivery and the brake let loose! After she heard the noise she saw the milkman running down the street after his truck. After that I heard the neighbors were getting a divorce!
Quoted from mooch:I can remember warm summer evenings in my neighborhood with the irresistible aroma of hot french fries coming from the local Tastee Freez.
An order of fries and a root beer float put me in Heaven.

We had a Tastee Freeze in Irwin on US Rt 30:that looked just like the one pictured:
Love that place!
Quoted from cottonm4:I had a real cool steering wheel knob. It had light blue background and was plastic coffin for a multi-colored beetle. It was in that same building the the music teacher plucked that steering knob from my hand and I never saw it again. Pissed me off. But there was nothing I could do.
Here is a pic of a steering wheel knob for those who might be scratching their head.

I thought these knobs were made illegal years ago, but Amazon sells them. So what do I know.

You still find them on forklifts, we call them suicide knobs.
Not long after, cuz and his family were shopping in a store like Sears. And he lost track of his little boy. And then he noticed a crowd gathering and he went to check. And, there, in the middle of the bathroom sales display was the kid relieving himself in the toilet that was on display. And the crowd was having a good laugh.
I worked at for Sears in the plumbing and heating dept. when I was going to school/College.
Let me tell you that this happened more times the you can imagine! We even placed a plexiglass
Cover over the bowl, and after that it was all over the sides and the floor!
