Quoted from girloveswaffles:

Anyone remember the old Coca Cola diamond cans?

Yeah....and anyone remember making necklaces out of the pop tabs (found littering the beaches and sidewalks)?

Quoted from pinwiztom:

I doubt anyone would have dared to bring and play Frank Zappa's Dinah Mo Humm!

...and of course brown shoes don't make it. Like if you get it.

Does that clear things up for you?

Picky picky picky

I never bought these, but always wanted them....as advertised on the back cover of my childhood comics.

Quoted from dirkdiggler:

Anyone remember doing Doodle Art?

Never did that, but I did do a few "paint by number" paintings. They didn't turn out that good. The brushes were crap, and it was oil based paints! Anyone else do them?

Quoted from jawjaw:

Not sure what is worse - tornados or hurricanes.

I'd rather have an earthquake!

Quoted from cottonm4:

Earthquakes are usually over in a couple of seconds.

Yeah, I grew up in California and experienced quakes every fews years so it seemed. We thought they were fun, or at least, a strange experience. Then I moved to the midwest...experienced tornado warnings and everyone was scared. It always amused me that those midwesterners I met were terrified of earthquakes (having never experienced one). I didn't like the tornado warnings...give me another earthquake please. Reminds me of my childhood (that's what this thread is about).

Quoted from cottonm4:

When I was a kid, or young man, it was National Geographic that brought me pictures of people in distant lands.

Now that you mention it, I remember in junior high school finding a National Geographic showing bare breasted African tribal women. I was grateful for National Geographic at the time!

Kind of ashamed to write this here, but….this is what we used to sing in college (long time ago). Please forgive me….weird how I could still remember the words. I know, it’s not PC. Do not read if you are easily offended.

I have never seen this before.

Would also make them using Sunday (newspaper) Comics. More colorful.

Remember the VCR tape rental stores? They popped up all over, you could even buy a membership for discount rentals.

I have a really cool hairless cat. It stays at home.

Nothin' wrong with a hairless pussy.
