I refuse to remember all of them. Although the Shadow and Amos and Andy were my favorites on the radio. The guy who made me laugh on TV was Ivar Hagland. Some of his stuff on B/W TV back in the 50s & 60s in the GPNW would still be funny today. You can still see his picture in places in Seattle with "Keep Clam" underneath them. The history behind those two words is what makes the joke. Ufda!

OK you're all missing the best part. The optimistic way to look at this is that you CAN and do remember these things.

Joe, I remember those little plastic ink cartridges too. There were easier options but I loved attempting to make them work. And I bet Michael Jackson looked like a boy on your 45!
I can't remember any of Pete's list, not even a vague recollection.

We were talking about food today too at work. Anyone remember Space food sticks??? Our young kinderhgarten teacher just stared at me like I was making it up when I described them. Boy were they gross!!!

I liked the peanut butter ones when I was a kid. The chocolate ones weren't too bad either, but they were definitely 2nd choice.

How about the Carnation Breakfast Bar? A bar of sawdust coated with chocolate.

I am pretty sure that was called a "mangle" ... My mother had one too, and I pressed MANY shirts, pants, napkins (remember when they were cloth?) pillow cases, and sheets (does ANYONE press sheets anymore?), and of course, all the girls hair ribbons had to be done too! ... Mom hardly EVER used it! It was us kids that were responsible for the ironing in the house!

When I was in the fourth grade, we had to use a pen, and the ink in the bottle on the desk. YUP! No ball point pens ... No fountain pens ... The only writing devices allowed were the pen and ink, or pencils for math (or "arithmetic" as we called it back then).

GEEZE, am I old!
