I'm so old that.....

I'm so old, I still miss My Friend Flicka and my second favorite show was Sky King.

The first book I bought with my own money was "My Friend Flicka."

I'm so old that I met Hector Boyardee when I was a kid. You know, Chef Boyardee. Yes, he was a real person.

He told me to call him Uncle Hector. I'm so old, that didn't seem creepy to me.

I met the real Smokey Bear.

I remember Little Oscar and the Weiner Mobile, (which we did make fun of. )

How about ads like this?



Anyone else going to run away from home to Tahiti in their mini-submarine?

Then there was junior rocket science...



15 cent balsa wood airplanes you could make a whole afternoon out of, more complicated ones that cost a whole $2.29 and took all weekend to build.

I'm happy to have at least lived a few decades in what I consider the last "decent" era before the 1980s and everything started turning to crap. :/

Nowadays... fugedaboutit, I don't even care what's going on in many respects.

Thx

I miss the more pleasant, "million-dollar moment", "production value" type television commercials like this one...

Something that would draw the viewer in, as opposed to a getting in their face, high pressure angle. The ones they run today I just want to mute and blank out.

Thx

I remember when bath towels weren't the size of beach towels and the turtle on the turtleneck sweater fit perfectly without having to be pinned in order to fit an average sized neck.

I'm so old I remember when Muhammad Ali was Cassius Clay.

When I called a friend, I only had to the last 4 numbers.

Zenith came out with the "Zoom" option.

Had a dial that turned out tv antenna

pong

I'm so old I remember Walt Disney every Sunday night. Never missed it.
And buying 100 pieces of bubble gum for a buck and feeling flush. And that made you a god in the first grade.

I'm so old, I remember Beanie and Cecil.

I'm so old I remember (and used) the old wooden wall crank phones! Seriously! Phone party lines and even in my first job some rural areas still had 3 digit phone numbers and you had to link up with three or four other operators in other towns to get a call into a REALLY rural area.

I remember Boston Blackie and The Shadow on radio. I saw the original Lassie, RinTinTin, Mickey Mouse Club, Ted Mack and his Amateur Hour on TV (I even auditioned for the show once) the Liberace Show, Lucky Strike Hit Parade ... American Bandstand.

I MISS going to a service station and having everything done without asking - windows, oil check, tires checked, gas pumped. I still believe that sort of stuff was one reason God made men for us.
