Whee-lo and Barrel of Monkeys. Oh, and a pencil sharpener that looked like a little 📺 .

TopJimmy · 01-02-2021, 07:30 PM

Hearing Lawrence Welk playing Polka on TV. "Evvvvybody dance!"

Pencil sharpener? To this day my father still uses a knife to sharpen pencils...

You drive around in sport plus, then complain your back hurts

rwheels · 01-02-2021, 08:11 PM

You relied on the "Yellow Pages" for businesses, and the "White Pages" for residences. Later the phone company came out with 411.

Phone numbers began with the alphabet.

Yep. Our number was Edgewater-7-1912.

You remember the transition from round dial phones to touch-tone phones.

Funny, I can usually get a pop out of my back in sport plus. It is a medical need, I swear officer.

You know you are really old when the town you grew up in used only four digits to call anyone else in your town.

Hee-Haw...as country as a bale of hay.

The Hee-Haw Honeys were the original Juggies. (With a couple of holsteins and an septuagenerian thrown in.)

Dpc2u · 01-03-2021, 03:37 PM

That brought to mind this one -

I was always partial to Bobbie-Jo.

You put on 80's music and share with your son 8yr old what "was the best music". His opinion is that old school rap (Digital Underground/Public Enemy/House of Pain) is better than todays rap and even radio play.
