Remember when baseball was bigger than football, and boxing was huge, while MMA wasn't even on the radar.

Remember the 60s. Radical "hippies" going on about love and peace, while overindulging in "free love" and drugs... juxtaposing a country consumed in war and civil rights turmoil. John and Bobby Kennedy and MLK all assassinated. Crazy days.

Now it’s offensive to Asians, Hispanics, African Americans, Caucasians, Indians, Jews, Christians, atheists, blondes, muslims, children, old people, liberals, conservatives, stupid people, 'Nole fans……etc. etc. ad infinitum and probably offensive to the people left out of this thread because they didn’t get recognized. :wink: :grin:

Charles Chips deliveries

I saw a Charles Chips can, used as a decoration, in a restaurant recently and was trying to explain the Charles Chips delivery system to my wife. Maybe it was a regional thing. She never heard of it.

Anyone remember going I to the snack bars in the old fashion fish camps or confectionaries and seeing those nasty hard boiled eggs and sausage links in those big jars of mystery juice (vinegar/brine/anti-freeze)? I never bought one nor did I ever see anyone buy one. I haven't seen any of these in years. Has anyone on this board ever eaten any of these items?

[toon66]

Yes, I still see those jars. The pickled pigs feet less so. I did try the sausage when I was a kid. Wasn't bad from what I recall.

Remember Telstar and Sputnik...

Remember Army-Navy days meant you could climb over, in and all around all kinds of military vehicles, planes and ships

Remember the Cuban-Missile crisis..

Remember no cell phones, computers or cars with anti-pollution devices sapping their power

[g8rjd]

Remember drive-in movies, and "submarine races", & "spegetti westerns" with Clint Eastwood.


I miss drive-in movies. When I was a kid, my parents used to take us in the station wagon, park in the back and open the back door, so we could lay down and watch the movie.

Those were great.

[Minister_of_Information]

Speaking of which, remember wood paneled station wagons with the rear facing fold up seat? Sitting in the back was the coolest.

[mamag8ter]

Yes, those were called woodies, lol.

[vanders]

remember putting a little bit of gasoline in your carburetor to get it started if you ran it out of gas?

I remember a carburetor with a hairline crack that I had to blow dry to get the moisture out of ..... I love that old truck

[vanders]

I remember buying a coke at school for a nickel in elementary school and then a couple of years later it was a nickel plus a penny.

Remember taking back glass bottles for $$$

LOVED the corner drugstore and Dime Stores that had a sandwich bar and made limeaids.

[northgagator]

Just watched "Sergeant Preston of the Yukon". "Well King, this case is closed.".

I remember that as my favorite Saturday snow.

The "Well King" remark had me flashing back to Sky King.

[phatGator]

The "Well King" remark had me flashing back to Sky King.

"Writin' fan letters to Sky's niece Penny," as Buffett sang. Another of my favorite shows.

[northgagator]

I miss drive-in movies. When I was a kid, my parents used to take us in the station wagon, park in the back and open the back door, so we could lay down and watch the movie.

Those were great.

My mom would pop two or three bags of popcorn. Back then they would have two or three features. My sisters and I never made it to the second one.

[G8rNkoko]

Red Skelton ending every show with "Good night and may God bless."

The Ed Sullivan Show
The Jackie Gleason Show
Your Show of Shows (Sid Ceasar & Immogene Coca)

[northgagator]

The really off the wall humor of Ernie Kovacks

The name of his show was Silent Show

Off the wall yes!

A real comic genius?

[Spurffelbow833]

Now that is one I do not remember.

[mamag8ter]

I do. My Grandma had a washboard and I remember seeing her use it. She also had an iron wash pot. She would build a fire under it, put in the soap she had made, punch the clothes around with a broom handle she had cut off, and had the whitest linens in the neighborhood.

[gatorjjh]

I have my Grandmother's last washboard in the hall of our Cracker House :)

[G8rNkoko]

Jugg, when I was in the Army in 1970-71, my last six months were spent typing up reports for an Intelligence office using IBM Selectric typewriters. When I got out, I had an obligation for one year of active duty in the Natl Guard. The unit I went to had nothing but old Royal manuals and the first time I tried to use one, I was halfway through the first sentence when I realized that not one key had hit the paper.

Loved Johnny Carson, one of television's greatest comedians.

I saw the night GEORGE GOBEL, DEAN MARTIN and Bob HOPE were on.
Famous line by GOBEL WAS that he was stationed in OKLAHOMA for the entire war.
But, that must have been where the army needed me, he Said, or they wouldn't have put me there. You gotta remember that the JAPANESE never made it past Tulsa.
I have never laughed so hard at a Tonight show as I did that night.
Oh, and the the night ED AMES, Mingo the INDIAN , ON DANIEL BOONE...demonstrated his throwing of the tomahawk...right in the crotch of the silhouette on the target. Incredible...ah the good old days.
I remember all this stuff.
I remember 17 cent gas and gas wars.
I remember all PAN AM stuff..my dad was an employee and got to walk onto..and right off of..the first 747.
I remember drinking AND SMOKING at 11 am on the way to my buddy's wedding in New York on a National flight.
I remember actually greeting your friends AT THE CONCOURSE.
I remember my first kids show ...THE MAJOR's BANDWAGON...pre Skipper Chuck days..when I was seven. My Porky Pig puppet was a big hit.
Going to early Saturday movies and seeing double, triple features, and sometimes all cartoons.
Saw M T GRAVES at THE SHORES IN MIAMI.
I remember going to South BEach in high school...because there was nothing but old people and parking was easy.
I remember the train at Crandon Park Zoo on Key Biscayne..how great..it was a miniature.
I remember when I95 was being constructed in North Miami..worlds greatest playground.
I remember seeing Forbidden Planet when I was seven...and the monster scared the chit out of me.
I remember IT THE TERROR FROM BEYOND SPACE....the forerunner of ALIEN.
I remember when I actually knew all the songs in church.
I remember SISTER JOHN MARGARET , my sixth grade teacher..one of my best ever.
She taught choir. She thought kid was intentionally singing off key ( I hope)...
She went up to his desk..asked him to take off his glasses..and punched him right in the face. Amazing...we all tried harder after that.lol:joecool:
