39 lol my point was about things that haven’t aged well over the years…

More true of Garfield…who seems to have vanished from pop culture…than the others although I do think teddy ruxpin was also a one time thing…huge then gone…

Hey All,
Popping wheelies, without a helmet, on stingray bikes. (Not the smartest thing to do, but fun.)

Jiffy-pop popcorn.

Sneaking transistor radios into school so we could listen to the World Series. (Along with that listening to Vin Scully call me games.)

PF Fliers; they made you "run faster and jump higher." (That was their advertising slogan. Boy were we stupid.)

Kool -aid ice pops

Sam Cooke, Fats Domino, Ray Charles, cool dudes

Stuffing your mouth with black licorice and pretending it was chewing tobacco. (Then sneaking some of my dad's and trying the real stuff. (I thought it was cool. But not cool when I got sick from It. Boy were we stupid.)

Al Bundy aka Reverend Al, leader of NO MA'AM.

The Three Stooges (Fun fact: One of their film shorts was actually nominated for an Oscar.)

Playing outside everyday of summer break.

First crush --Rebecca H in the 3rd grade. I have not seen her in over 55 years. But I still remember her face.(I won't get too personal)

Tang-- that's what the astronauts drank. (Let's just say its an acquired taste.)

Well I've been droning on haven't I? I have a lot of fun memories and the question drew some to the surface. I haven't thought about Becs in a long time. She still is my secret love.

Boy I thank God everyday for my life. Of course there have been a few bad days. But there have been so many more good and great days.
Anyway that's some of my cool stuff. Keep walking everybody. May God bless,
Taz

As a kid the older playgrounds

I agree. When i went to visit my old school like 30 years later all the good stuff in the playground is gone, like this huge tractor tyre with chains on it that was made into a swing. 2 or 3 peoppe stand on it and swing it really high but did not want to hit the side poles or have to hang on tight. That was the best, but that would have been banned because its not there anymore.

A camp i used to go to as a kid basically all the old fun activities are banned for health and safety.
