What? Suga..."
Granddaddy's had a lit up floor like the one Travolta danced on in "Saturday Night Fever." I did a LOT of dancing there.

Just curious. Does Barry Gibb still have all his hair?
Except for the few things listed above, I think most stuff I thought was great as a kid is STILL magical. Hell, I still love stickers and am a passionate collector of flavored lip glosses.
Amber wrote: "Maybe not all, but most."
A bit of a change - but at least he still has his hair.
smetchie wrote: "Slurpees."Totally. I had one a couple of weeks back and I just thought "I used to think this was big deal?!" Not impressed anymore, although now you can get a special aluminum Slurpee straw that keeps it from melting on the arduous journey from the cup to your mouth.
Do your lips freeze and stick to the aluminum straw?
Great. Now my dog wants the new Slurpee straw.
Amy wrote: "Do your lips freeze and stick to the aluminum straw?"No. But my roommates did. And watching it is so much better than experiencing it. I had Christmas Story flashbacks.
smetchie wrote: "Are you fucking with me, Amber?"I am indeed NOT fucking with you. I think they cost a buck.
I kept thinking about A Christmas Story when you mentioned it. And now I'm thinking about who should get one of these as a holiday gift from me this year...
Does anybody remember a movie called The Christmas That Almost Wasn't? My dad took me to that every Christmas. That was really cool.
Does that start out live action and then change to animated?
I don't remember, I just remember it came out in the theaters every Christmas.

See avatar photo. The rest were too embarrassing which is really saying something when you take a look at this one.

Look near the kool-aid in your grocery store.

^^^On the bright side, maybe this will clear up Sally's Phil/Clark quandary.

I love it! AFLOL
Clark wrote: "See avatar photo. The rest were too embarrassing..."You walked on water, Clark. Very cool.
I saw a ginormous container of Tang yesterday at Sam's Club.

Sally honey I need your address. I'd be happy to send Tang and my extra bottle of Clinique perfume that you and I wear so well!

Is that really you, Clark? LOL
It looks like some 80's stock phot..."
It's me, back in 1984, just about to re-enter the work force after nine months of collecting unemployment checks for babysitting bar stools, rolling out of bed every morning at the crack of eleven to watch "People's Court," and alphabetizing my records. Seems some forgot to tell Mr. and Mrs. John Q. Public to keep buying their shiny new pickups and sport utility vehicles.
Wait until Kevin sees it. I'm doomed. Talk about fruit hats. I think I was one.
Other than that, I've got nothing.

Oh, and did anyone mention lava lamps yet?
I used to thing the Sit and Spin (I think that's what it's called) was the best think ever. What better game spin in circles till you throw up! I bought the newer version for my daughter and told her this was THE coolest toy ever. The new version was so dinky and made of such light-weight plastic she couldn't even get a strong enough spin to get dizzy!

I have some of my grandfather's old cardigans. I love them, but they have become the latest hipster fashion abomination.
I wear cardigans in the winter and am neither hip nor abominable. I'm just square--very, very square.
Welcome to TC Nicki.I also have a cardigan, but it is seldom worn.
portable radios...my older cousin had one and brought it to the beach with her and I thought that was sooo cooool.

Kool-aid? They still make kool-aid? I've been stuck in the juice/V8 aisle for too long. Have to relearn the fine art of wandering.

anymore. Men's cardigans can be very nice, as well as masculine:
Victorinox (ignore goofy head)
