Remember when

I remember going to IGA and try to get down the aisle without touching the white tiles...

Took this pic today

 

No, that was Quickdraw McGraw.

 

Crap! You are correct. Well Done! My memory failed big time on that one.

 

yup, about a year ago…ding dong ditches, caught on camera…

 

Good way to be ding dong dead..

 

We used to call it, "Ring and Run."

The more adventurous and impromptu kids would change the game to "Ring and Stay", and try to carry on a conversation with whomever answered the door by asking out-of-the-world crazy questions...

 

Living in farm country no one even had door bells in most cases unless it was meal time people were outside.

Then you just walked in the back door and announced your arrival .

 

The modern version of this prank has been ramped up into home invasion robberies.

 

How to become Pig or Hog food in the country.

 

Wow that is a blast from the past!

 

I absolutely loved Quisp!!

 

I may have become addicted to the smell of these things cooking when I was in about 6th grade.

Substance abuse trigger...?

 

I had friends with creepy crawlers but I never made them myself.

I never ate Quisp or Quake either. We were into Cap’n Crunch.

Quick draw McGraw was one of my first little golden books. He never actually shot anybody, but he would change into El KaBong and smack them with his guitar.

And of course, a big hound dog howdy to all you Huckleberry fans.

 

I know I’m gonna sound like a real geezer but I remember when these were five cents. (Nik-o-Lok)

I do not remember mixing margarine. That was pretty much dead by the late 50s. Also I think that was only a thing in dairy states because they didn’t want it to look like butter. In other states you could buy yellow margarine.

 

You gotta go, you better have some coin in the pocket. I remember running across one of these as a kid on vacation back east. I had no change and had to go bad, so I pissed in a sink. Could you imagine these things today? Somebody would rip the door off and light the bathroom on fire.
