Childhood no words...

I'd have to blow that up to poster size for my ancient eyes to pick most of them out, but I do see that Reggie bar sitting there.  My mom took me to the game where they handed them out (I *think* it was opening day 1978), and Reggie hit one out his first time up.  Someone through his bar on to the field and the esthetics of that act registered suddenly, and the field was soon covered in Reggie bars.  I, being a teen-age sugar-consumption machine, had already eaten mine, though.

I recognise many of the images, but not from childhood - with the exception of the red doll which I think is familiar, but don't know if it's the bionic man or a regular old action man.

What's kinda sad though is that my kids growing up in New York have access to the exact same stuff that my friend's kids in London see. It's a shame that cultures are becoming so homogenized.

I'm definitely familiar with all the references.  Some of them are more 80s and hence after my time, but certainly seeing Mr. October always brings back fond memories.  And his candy bar wasn't bad at all.  Sort of like a 100K bar but better.

I used to blow up my mom's empty L'eggs eggs with firecrackers.  How sad that today's kids will never know the joy.

Too many to count. Although the boom box makes me smile with just last week I told my granddaughter to turn up her boombox. Her reply was "What's a boombox gram's?" I didn't think the time had past that quickly, but it sure has. The old saying, "time flys when your having fun"

OUR BLOGGERS

FishnetsAndLight

Professional Dominatrix, lapsed English major and token black chick extraordinaire. I'm also a great big perv. Bend over.

Location:New York, New York
Looking for: Those who aren't too afraid.

Zeitgeisty

I'm an existentialist trapped in the body of a rational humanist. I've got a penchant for misanthropy and a flair for the obvious. I'm quick with a joke or a light up your smoke, but there's someplace that I'd rather be. I'm Zeitgeisty, pleased to meet me I'm sure.

Location: Somewhere on the isle of Manhattan...
Looking for: A shining good deed in a weary world...

Airheadgenius

I am a fish out of water - an opinionated cheeky smiling English chick in a land of larger than life Americans. I don't understand the culture. I don't understand asking if we're exclusive. I don't understand this weird practice of decapitating penises. Some days I am definitely MILF material. Other days I feel more like the material on the inside of yer grannys' handbag.

Location: Brooklyn
Looking for: A stunning socialist with a propensity to pick winning lottery numbers

amboabe

I'm a smart ass writer who'll argue your ear off, hold your hand close, and tell you the truth whenever. I'm a fool and a hero, a confessional soul, and lover of life in every conceivably absurd way that it can come. I also paint my toenails.

Location: San Francisco
Looking for: A sail, not an anchor.

spjv840

Slightly neurotic, over-analyzing girl..err, woman, with too much charm for the average person to handle. Has a fondness for red wine, cheap beer and a good time.

Location: The Igloo, Canada
Looking for: Nothing mediocre
