Things kids today have never seen

What was worse than just the pink bike with the banana seat is that the seat was usually yellow and didn't match.



Your seat was yellow? Lucky you! Mine had a floral print.>:(>:(

Zork the text based adventure game.

When being sent to you room was an actually a punishment as a kid.

A switch.....

kid sports that were not fixed so little johnny wouldn't feel like a looser......."a ribbon for 10th place?"

A cable box that had a tv knob-nothing remote or digital

Television in a wooden cabinet

Good movies like: Fandango
I threw my confidence out the airplane door years ago.........

And one set of streamers in the handlebars had come out, so you tried to pull out the other so they would match, and all but a couple of dinky strings came out.
My bike was a handmedown that my dad painted the COOLEST green. I can still get a good feeling about whenever I think of it!

when 2x4s were oak and measured 2"x 4"

Oak? The framing for the first floor of my parents house was made from Black Walnut (my dad discovered it when he was moving a light socket many years ago...)

The house was constructed in the mid 19th century and I'm sure it was built with the best materials that were "available" at the time...

I know Chris mentioned it but my first bicycle was a banana boat seated schwinn that belonged to my dad when he grew up... a few years back he was going to fix it up and donate it and another Schwinn bike to an organization that rebuilds them to give to children and someone at a local bike shop suggested he keep it as it was probably valuable... :o

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

I haven't seen kids with Mercurochrome on their elbows and knees for a while



I searched for that a year or so ago. It has a real feel good factor when you are little - its bright red so it must work! (We called it monkeys blood). I can only assume that it was withdrawn from the market as it contained Mercury)

No.

Are you accusing me of being a fecalphiliac on prozac?

Edit to add: If you don't understand, research the Mr. Hankey episodes of southpark.
