BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 15, 2009 Author BassResource.com Administrator Posted January 15, 2009 I remebered like 21-22 but I know what most of them are. So which is it knowing what they are and such or actually using them and them being in wide use during you lifetime. Knowing about them doesn't count. You can look them up on Wikipedia, but that doesn't equate to using them. HR Puffinstuff - LOL! Jimeeeee!! Land of the Lost (Sleestacks!), the Banana Splits... Good times. Anybody remember the claymation kid's shows like Davey & Goliath or Gumby? What about Jot? And whatever happen to Twisp cereal or Suzi-Q's anyway? And yes, I remember watching the color bars until the cartoons came on. Any of you younger ones think all the music on commercials is new and original, think again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8jlJpceXpY&feature=related Quote

Every Sunday morning before church, they ran on a program called, "The Children's Hour" in the DFW market. Wow. . . Jot, I forgot about Jot.

Super User bilgerat Posted January 15, 2009 Super User Posted January 15, 2009 Who here has ever driven a car with a "three on the tree" ? For those of you scratching your heads, it was a manual transmission where the shifter was on the right side of the steering column. One of my first cars was a '63 Plymouth Valient that had it. Talk about a bulletproof car. Quote

Any one in their early forties, remember the "In the News" shorts that they ran in between cartoons? A lot of war stuff. At the time I was to young to realize that it was Vietnam footage. Quote

moby bass Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 anybody remember the push-button nash rambler? wanna shift the gear...push the button on the dash. My dad had a 1961 Plymouth Fury with push button transmission. Its what I learned to drive. Push first gear, stand on the brake, stand on the gas and do a power jack, release the brake and that 318 would lay a real nice patch of rubber. Hit the button for second and get another patch. Course, I didn't have to pay for the tires ;D I later had a 1967 Dodge Dart with a 3 on the tree. Quote
FishingBuds Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Exactly 25, I grew up old ways, mom made gizzards for dinner and I would play with crash derby cars later ;D Quote
