Born in the 1970's

GPK, a home telephone. Station Wagons, Woolworths, blue light specials, duck hunt, glasses-no contacts, wood trimmed vehicles, real wood floors-no laminate, bunny ears and tinfoil, saved by the bell - before berkley got nude, Topps, Commodore 64 baby!! the real floppy disks... Oregon Trail!! Peanut butter bars, Max Hedrom and Pepsi. everyone had eal xmas trees! Jams. Rat Tails. Aerobie. Risk. Skeletor's Castle, My Little Pony. Tom Cruise was still cool. VHS recorded off of TV... still have some old movies! IBM computers! Bonanza! Connie Chung! Peter Jennings! Reebok Pumps! ok, so a bunch of 80's stuff in thar... sorry, got carried away.

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down!

For the girls of the 80's-anyone remember Dolly
Pops?

Big wheels that you rode so much, they had a
flat tire & would thump,

Linda Carter as Wonder Woman,

neon orange jellies w/white cuffed socks,

Dukes of Hazzard,

Peanut Butter Boppers,

Bonkers candy

Big Wheel tires would split. However, they made great ice cream trucks when you turned them upside down and cranked on the pedals.

Yes! But the ice cream game got boring fast when your friends were out on their big wheels! Mine would go flat from slamming on the brakes too often.

LOL ... No, CASSETTE DRIVES and don't forget the blazing fast 300 baud cradle modem.

My Commodore 64 was THA BOMB!

I was also born in the 70s and remember 8 tracts and singers like kenny rodgers, alabama, lorry morgan, barbara mandrel and that famouse song of hers i was country when country wasnt cool, i remember those rc colas and putting my peanuts in them cokes. i remember having to take a coke or rc bottle and put it on that bottle opener that was made onto most drink machines.

i remember getting spanked one time in class with a very long wooden board, man that thing hurt my booty lol.. i remember walking to school, playing games like sorry and monopoly at the kitchen table. i remember when it rained too much the bridge flooded out and all we had or could do was stay home and spend family time together.

i remember going to the big old steel bridge and taking a dip into the water on a very sunny hot day, i remember at night catching those lighten bugs and putting them in a jar, i remeber great shows like million dollar man, i love lucy, andy griffent, bj and the bear, simon and simon, hogan heros, threes company, the little rascals, sheriff lobo, the greatest american hero,

i remember all fun and i really miss them 70s and 80s.. too bad we cant get it back

this

yes and when the president made a statement your night was shot lol... with only 3 or 4 channels to watch when he spoke you only had him to watch

One of the best toys from the 70's which has endured to today-LEGO!

And how about the cartoons topcat, the pink panther show, and deputy dawg.

Kids today are under the spell of the microchip, and don't know HOW to play outdoors.

I was made in the 80's !!

don't forget underdog

food used to taste good back then.

even the mr noodles was yummy then - tastes like crap now

Rope swings over rivers / next to gorges.

Shooting shit up with real air rifles.

Making your own bikes out of spare parts.

Making various other vehicular contraptions for racing down steep, traffic using, roads.

Climbing cliffs without safety equipment.

Arson.

Criminal damage.


~ to name but a few ...

-Old porn mags lying around the paper containers.
-christmas cartoon specials
-handheld video games (older than gameboy)

Oh man! That is one of my favorite childhood memories ... we had swings set up over every creek and lakeside we could find ... the risks we took climbing up there to tie that crap off.

Oh how I miss the 70s and early 80s.

shit

now i feel old.

thanks everyone

i'm off for a quiet cry now.

68' I was into the world, born
And the seventies were a breath after the war
Life was confusing because of my age
Should my eyes open for tomorrows gains?
I can't help the way I am
There's no trust and there's no end
What is my name?

It's time for a change
It can't stay the same
Forever is my name

It changed in 9/11

yes! loved that show!!(actually didnt really mind the movie but not telling anybody here that)


what i dont get is this love of captain kangaroo??, apparently I was the only one who thought him to be a bit creepy(him and that mr. green jeans(life partner) or whatever he called himself), same with that mr. rogers guy

oh well maybe since I was born a bit earlier than the '70's...im a grumpy old man I suppose

His Dad: Spoiled brats...In my day we just had flat dirt. Got so sick of it we built the Appalachian Mountains just to have some scenery on the way to school!

His Dad: At least you had dirt!

His Dad: At least you had light! We walked to school in the dark for years before somebody thought to ask the Boss if he'd let there be light.

chasing the ddt spraying truck on our big wheels.....and liking the smell...

Had to admit, those cassettes were sturdy, Played them hundreds of times no problem, when the CDs came, still use them in my car. they still get scratched up and messed up no matter how well you take care of them. CDS are a crappy invention really. They still should have made something with a protective casing.

Computer program CDs too, get scratched and crapped out.

Only one thing i miss from the 70's...fake wood panels on everything!

very true, i remember when they first started promoting cd's...like they were all scratch proof and indestructible...my ass, if i leave one in the player too long, the frickin dust kills it...lol

LOL. when I got a Commodore, I just played games , And they made some great games for it ! Had a Nintendo too, but they started making junk games for the nintendo and I went back to play on my commodore.
