    We are all of the age where we grew up with things that aren't around anymore. I figured I'd start a thread to stir up memories of the good old days.

    Let me start by pouring some out for my homies: original Nintendo system and power pad... I will never have to blow on a game to get it started.

    Paddling in school (big ass wooden paddle), rotary dial telephone (complete with a party line with 4 families on same line), parachute pants, like Steg said penny candy! Visting neighbors, going to Grandma's for Sunday dinner every Sunday, croquet, comic books, getting baptized in the river, big hair, Levi's bluejean jackets, boom box, roller skating with my white skates & pink pom poms, going parking on the backroads, whiffle ball, kool aid, okay enough...:)

    For some reason this thread brought me back to when N.W.A came out with Fuck tha Police lol. One of my first CDs I bought. Also back when MTV actually played videos and we'd wait for the new ones for what seemed like forever. And our government actually functioned well lol. Well and no racist , facist as El Comandante was great too lol

    For me and my cousins it was who would forget the electric fence was on when we went to the field next door to shoot. Damn cows were never in the mood to remind us!
