    No kidding. I remember when I dropped my first piano on a roadrunner, I learned a few things about cartoons that day.

    I remember when a dime-bag actually cost a dime.

    Or maybe that was Willie Nelson who thought that . . .

    you used to find porn mags in undergrowth.

    you only had 4 channels on the telly

    dog shits used to turn white

    summers seemed to last months and it was always hot
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    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.

    You're obviously a lot younger than me - I remember when they switched channel 4 on and breakfast tv was a figment of someones imagination.

    Many, many memories. Among the best are all the concerts I saw for only $5-10 in the 70s, including Jimi Hendrix for $5 in 1970. My husband paid about the same to see Blind Faith in Baltimore in 1969.

    Where'd you see Jimi? That was on the April- August US tour, I guess? I have boots of most of those shows.

    I remember when phones had cords...
    when you had to get up to change the tv station...
    getting up on Saturday mornings if you wanted to see cartoons because that was the only time they came on...

    when tv went off the air during nighttime and into the early morning hours.
    remember the rainbow colors on the tv as you waited for Saturday morning cartoons to come on?
    5 or 6 am cartoons came on?

    also we had the Ag-report before Saturday morning cartoons.

    You could actually bake something in an Easy Bake oven because they were hot as shit. Now days, because all of the safety features, I think they just warm stuff. My sister and I would make whole dinners in our easy bake oven. They were just miniature. :lol:
