:bang: That looks like the old "Taco 22" mini-bikes (but with a cooler engine) that were so popular back in the day. We had custom frame with a two-stroke 7.5hp West Bend as our first mini-bike.
I used to watch Felix the Cat every morning before school. One day, my Mom finally saved up enough cash to upgrade to a COLOR TV! I felt so cheated when I flipped on the new color TV only to find Felix the Cat was STILL in black and white...
Sweet I had one of those. except it was chrome. Man I miss that bike. What sucks about it is that my bro sold and kept the cash. I guess that is what happens when you move out at 18. i'm just waiting for them to make the movie RAD on DVD. not the copied version they sale on ebay
Younguns never knew.... - what pull tops were - a time when there was no MTV - what Adam 12 was - what Mutual of Omaha was and - what Marlon Perkins looked like - who the hell Jacques Cousteau was - how to use a typewriter - what the Soviet Union was - a day when there were two Germanys - a day when there were no contact lenses - a time when each TV station ended it's day with the national anthem - a day when there was safe sex Shall I continue? KeepsWhatHappens
I remember that and if you were STILL wide awake you could stare at the pretty rainbow lines on the screen until you were hypnotically put to sleep OR you could read a book. =P~ It would be nice to see a little Nationalism these days.
How about when KMET and KLOS were the only 2 rock stations around So Cal! And we thought we were cool when we could stay up and watch The Midnight Special!!:bang: http://www.midnightspecial.com/
They aren't old. What about KRLA and Wolfman Jack. I had a Taco mini mike and remember riding to the gas station behind Montgomrey Wards in Santa Ana with the money I scraped together to fill it up at 27 cents a gallon.
Okay, right on about all except the last one. If you consider the 60's & 70's as the safe sex generation, that's funny within itself. As far as I'm concerned, they /we paved the way for the irresponsible sexual behaviors and diseases that we're dealing with now. In lots of ways it was revolutionary & liberating but I would never stereo type or label that generation as "sexually responsible". "Sexually naive and clueless", definetly! BTW, Adam-12 was to our generation what Cops is to the current one. As good as it got at the time.
Too sweet!! I actually hacked this game and added an on/off switch to the speaker so I could play it in study hall and not get busted!! :bang:
OMG i feel so OLD reading this LOL; you're all right...our kids my 2, 4, and 7 year old will NEVER know what a vinyl record is let alone a tape deck man we've come a long way
Oh yeaaaaa! That smell! In class, we all hoped to be the lucky one who got to bring the "dittos" from the teachers office to the classroom - in the hall you'd take a nice deep smell with your nose buried in the stack. Ha!
Farrell's! Woo! Man that place was the best - remember the drums and the siren when it was somone's birthday?
My 5 year-old recently pretty much summed it all up... We were having one of those father-daughter conversations and I was in "when I was your age, we walked to school barefoot, up hill both ways, hunted for our meals, sewed our own clothing, had no electricity and there was no tv & computers" mode. That last comment caught her attention and she asked me, "but dad, if there was no computers and tv, what did you all do?" There it is! They can't imagine life without all these luxuries that they consider necessities. Amazing to think people actually survived before the 20th & 21st centuries. :lol:
I've been there what about Swensen's? And does anyone that's live in the OC most of their lives remember a place called the Enchanted Forest i think it was in buena park.
Remember KNAC 105.5 :bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::drunk::drunk::drunk::drunk::beer::beer::beer::beer::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang::bang:
