I wore mine out. I had to get a second one. I was thinking about that game last night. LMAO

When you could buy gas mixed with oil for two - stroked engines ditect from the pump, and when the pump was closed you could jump on the hose and get free gas

My mother would take me to a department store...Woolworths perhaps...and it had PAY WASHROOMS! You had to pay to take a piss lol! I think the going rate for a tinkle was 5¢ back in the day.

Oh, and Micheal Jackson was alive....and black. I had the red "leather" jacket with all the zippers on it, my brother had the black one, and they were the coolest thing man! What video was that jacket from.....Thriller maybe?

Well young man when I started driving gas and smokes was only $.20 each, and than there was gas wars where you could sometimes get gas for as little as $.11. Lo,and don't forget soda or pop,depending on where you live, it was only $.06 a bottle.

Oh god you did not just bring up parachute pants! HAHAHAHAHA!!! When i was 13 my stepdad was digging around in the garage and found a box in the garage from just after he was discharged from the air force at the end of vietnam. He still had the most embarrassingly atrocious pair of bell bottoms ive ever seen. Blue and orange with a little white and the bottoms of the legs were a good foot and a half wide each!

Lo, I thought I looked cool in my bell bottoms and my beetles haircut along with my Ray Charles sunglasses.

My grandfather's salary was $15 a month

I remember when the price of gas first broke the $1 a gallon mark. Gas pumps at the time were not set up for that 3rd digit so for a while it was sold for 50 cents a half gallon.

I remember buying cigarettes for 60 cents a pack

Minimum wage in Nevada was $2.85 an hour

I remember getting a day off from school when the last American troops were pulled out of Vietnam. I didn't even know we were at war.

I remember the Beatles and the Beach Boys having top 10 hits playing on the radio.

I remember when spanking was not only allowed, but was a regular occurrence. Not only from parents, but from teachers as well.

Oh boy did I ever test that last one out. I don't think I ever had a teacher that didn't get the opportunity to beat me. nowadays I would have been pumped full of pills. Back then they just hit you.

Yea now you have cry babies " waaaaaaaa, you hit me! Thats abuse! You're going to jail!" Cant say that i agree with teachers doing the spanking bc some may take it too far, but on the other hand cant say as im against it either. It takes a village to raise a child and by godif the parents wont spank their kids someones gotta do it if you want that kid to grow up respecting their elders.

Check this web page.. archive.org/details/consolelivingroom They have some old Atari etc. games which can be played online. I couldn't get them working. I guess I didn't blow on right spot.

I cannot remember yesterday evening.
And this morning i thought we were friday morning.

Now i can remember when Onsekone spoke about pizza moose.
I will never forget, I want one now, not in 5 minutes, NOW.

I remember when I was in the 3rd grade, the teacher in the next room drop kicked some kid cause he was standing on his chair or something

Old school Lawn Darts.... The toy's we had were great...

I can remember i used to be able to get up out of bed standing straight and tall. I can still do it but it takes time, lots of time. I'm crying again.
