Yup...scarred for life

 

" I'll paint any car any color for $19.95 "

 

I'll be good, I'll be good....pphttttttt!

 

When Bob Keeshan (Who?) was Clarabell the Clown (Who?) on "The Howdy Doody Show" (What?).

i.e., before "Captain Kangaroo"

 

Wow, i've been in denial...I am an old fart.

 

Hot water bottle...LOL..........now that was a long time ago,,,ROFLMAO..... And the funny part was,,,when you ask,,,it was "never mind".

 

Plunk your magic twanger Froggy..." Hi Ya kiddies, Hi Ya Hi Ya.."

 

The more time p***es by the more it pisses me off that she left it there...growing up in a small house with one bathroom can really screw a guy up

 

...suddenly, I feel depressed...

 

you remember when the tv repairman showed up with a big case full of tubes
you remember the tube tester at the hardware store
you remember neighborhood hardware stores
you remember the Emmitt on the Andy Griffith show never fixed that damn toaster
you remember McHale's Navy, Rat Patrol, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and when Mission Impossible was a cool tv show
you remember Linda Evans in the Big Valley...hell ya remember Linda Evans
you remember not touching that Bat Dial and staying on that Bat Channel
you remember when there was no such thing as minimum day for kids at school
you remember when Michael Jackson was a guy
you remember when all surfboards were long

 

On the other hand, you may NOT be an old fart ... if you still remember!

 

when something was "bad" it was really bad

when something was "sick" it was ill

when camel toes were only at the zoo and they sure weren't anything to stare at

when real hot rodders didn't wear costumes to drive their cars

when the only cars photographed on the salt flats were race cars

 

Heard all about this stuff in history

Saw all them TV shows on re-runs

 

When you remember how nice and warm it was behind the old Philco B&W TV with all those tubes glowing orange inside.

 

If you wanted a beer you needed a church key,,,bottle or can! HRP

 

When Thunderbird Port was the drink of choice............gawd, what rot gut.

 

I didn't think I was that old but Hell, I remeber most all of this stuff! Hell I even remember the Milkman leaving milk on the front porch!

 

Did you know that BOZO was different on each local station? same for Romper Room

 

Thanks It's nice to see someone else remembers the show!

 

When you go potty two hours before you get up

 

Remember the Police station wagons on the interstate with the huge speedo on the roof? had a sign on the speedo face that said "you are going this fast please slow down"

 

For all you guys drooling over Barbara Eden,Elly Mae or Samantha...Bet you never saw the one and only "Dagmar"..on Broadway Open House with Jerry Lester.yeah the one the cadillac front bumpers got thier name from....year 1946 and in living Black & white

 

Spending the summer washing dishes and sweeping walkways for .15 cents a day so I could buy a Mattel Snub Nose .38 with a shoulder holster. It cost $4.98 and shot plastic bullets. I've seen them on ebay going for a $100 bucks.
