I remember when three colored tube socks up to your knees and those old colored sleeved baseball shirts made you a "Cool Jock".

My brother had one of those football games too. We also had TVs that you actually had to get up and walk up to and turn the knob to change the channel. Sometimes the dial would be alittle off and you'd have to carefully get it to stay between two numbers to get the channel to come in clear. Dave and I were laughing about this the other day, how many of you remember those parkas that were blue or green and had the crappy fake fur on the hood. I had a green one.

quote:

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers
and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.




Including the ideas that:
- pregnant women shouldn't smoke or drink
- lead-based paints are bad for kids
- unattended children can get into cabinets and medicine bottles
- bicycle helmets reduce injuries
et cetera

I'm not saying they're all great ideas; I'm just saying that they were all spawned by the same generation of risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors.

Who was Paul McCartney?
And I thought "Wings" was a TV show...?

I guess every generation looks down at the next one with a little contempt, but some good points were made.

I remember when you could watch Heavy Weight boxing with Howard commentating and it didn't cost a dime. You just turned on the TV.

Heck, I remember when Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier knocked Howard Cosell's toupee off on television.

I remember when I was the remote control. My father would send me to the tv to change the channel. Then came the push button cable box. Anyone remember that thing.

So how many actually had asteroids on their Atari? Or thought we had awesome computing power when Comodore came out with the 128 version? Gawd I remember sitting for hours typing in some game program in "Basic" that wouldnt do much more than allow you to play Pong! And you had to love those casette tape drives and sitting your phone receiver in the modem cradle.

How about when 8 track was cool?

Here's a flashback. "If you're going to jump around get in the back seat and do it!"

I remember laying in the back window and when my parent's would brake hard I'd go rolling, sometimes flying out of the window onto the back seat, or if I was lucky the floor. : ) Ahhh the fun times we had.

Riding on the tailgate of my Grandaddy's truck with my feet dangling off, sometimes dragging them on the ground.

Dave,

I still drag my feet off the tailgate, and sometimes the pegs for that matter.

There was the moon shot. We just had to see it and so Dad went out and bought a seventy-five foot aerial so we could pick up Minot, Grand Forks, and on a good day Winnipeg. Our first TV was a fuzzy black and white, and I still remember hearing ". . . the Eagle has landed!"

I remember the moon landing too, July of '69, I was in boot camp and our platoon leader got us up so we could watch it in the mess hall.

RT- I was 16-ish when the moon landing was going on. We were out at the glider field and everybody was watching it on TV. I was furiously hitting on one of the young ladies out in the yard.

So much for being in on history.

Hey Dyna,
Would you believe they're still selling those football games? I used to have one years ago but mine was green. The graphics were red leds. Think I'll go get one just for S&G's.
