    I remember "Mickeys" beer...do you? It was in a green container, and had a gigantic mouth hole..what a dumb idea. It would spill all over you when you were trying to drink while driving or as a passenger.


    ahhh... Mickey's Big Mouth...
    and these little messages under the cap added to the fun...

    and even us lil munchkins would have those big marks left imprinted around our heads for hours cause the stupid things were so tight...

    then they quit enforcing it as guys were letting their hair grow long and wouldn't wear them...

    so for my sis & me and our friends it was yippee...no more squished heads :D

    that is insane.
    virginia is a bullshit state anyhow.
    good thing you moved.

    ever tell the lifeguard enforcing the swimming cap rule to suck your nuts?

    i don't recall as a pre-schooler ever telling the lifeguard to suck my nuts... :lol:

    in fact i'm pretty sure i've never told anyone that...

    unless maybe i was talking 'bout my homemade trail mix :mrgreen:

    You probably didn't even have nuts yet.

    I remember getting my jeans caught in the greasy bicycle chain.

    Then you had to pedal yourself out.

    Remember when phones didn't have automatic hang up after 30 seconds. If somebody hung the phone up crooked, the other party couldn't use the phone.

    I remember having birthday parties at Farrell's

    Ice cream sundaes as big as your head, the little kazoos, and all the candy in the apple buckets...

    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    I remember being in 8th grade catholic school--about 13 yrs old-- and there was a "substitute" priest who used to buy the boys in my class beer. I remember me & my friend standing outside the rectory, standing on a pile of bricks looking inside the window to see what was going on. During this time, the priest left in the car & took the boys with him. Me & my friend went into the rectory, and removed a six pack of beer from the fridge.

    We hid the beer in the bushes until the next morning. Next morning came & we bought snowcones, sucked all the juice out of them until they were just balls of ice. Then we poured the beer into the snowcones and enjoyed the nice cold beer-cones repeatedly throughout the afternoon.

    Any of you ever do this too?


    No but it sounds like a great idea to this day, I live in Jersey and you can't get a cold beer in Jersey to save your GD life.

    hmmm, beer-cones :D

    Beer-cones, and not Root or Birch either!

    I am trying to imagine why Jersey doesn't have cold beer. Tell me why?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynlW5_rnRVE Definitely went hand-in-hand with beer-cones era.

    i remember ...
    when girls wore baggy clothes and those shoulder pads on their clothes instead of the next to nothing they wear today - damn the 80s fashion

    when Cosby was the coolest show on TV

    kids walking or riding bikes everywhere - we must have been such menaces to drivers - i would hate this if this still occurred (in fact as an adult now i would have hated the kid in the neighborhood that i was)

    when Monday Night Football was exciting as hell when your team was on it

    drinking water from the hose in the summer

    throwing snow balls at buses and occasionally cars

    skipping classes to go to the arcade to play video games and eat fries hoping like hell not to get caught but feeling so alive as you walked away from school

    The kids in my neighborhood still do this....even at 2AM....if I was drunk I probably would have taken out a bunch of kids already....damn whipper snappers! :twisted:

    I remember when TV would shut down each night - the Kiwi and the cat would come on and turn the lights off and the screen would turn into a rainbow.

    I remember when I got my pocket money of 50cents and went to the dairy to get my lolly fix of 100 fizzies.

    I remember listening to the top nine at 9 with my finger hovering on the record button of my boom box to catch any good songs.

    I remember kung-fu shoes and neon bike shorts under ra ra skirts.....

    I remember the 11pm curfew....
    "Parents, do you know where your children are ?"
    would come on the TV screen along with a warning sound.
    If you were caught out after that you could find yourself in the Detention Center til morning when your parents came and got you.

    I remember when you could go out and hardly anyone could get in contact with you. Now your significant other can track your whereabouts through tracking devices on a cellphone. :o

    that is shit and piss.

    they do this now in my hometown. (little bitty ft. madison, iowa...)
    my neice and nephew just got busted out and about after hours.

    little E was getting soda pop from a vending machine down the street... 2:00 am... in trouble, fine for the county courthouse... judges tend to be fat and have nice retirement funds paid in full due to court costs and retirement funds.

    Whammers... poor little girl, all innocent and 15... she is full of light and compasion
    she is what butterflies & flower inspire to be... out late breaking up a fight between her friends in the alley behind her house....

    again... trouble for the krueger family,,, court fined her
    once again, Portly the judge, yes your honor
    your retirement fund is building nicely

    Krueger kids have always helped you judges build up your retirement funds.

    FUCK OFF

    uncle Chad loves you, little E...
    love you Whammers
