Pentagram's shoutbox reference to fruit (gay) reminded me of the tabs on the back of men's shirts. Most shirts don't have them now AFAIK. We called them fruit loops and guys tried to rip them off other guys shirts. Any memories from your salad days about your culture?

I might come up with something later. I used to waste time kicking myself in the ass for dumb, and occasionally mean, shit when I was younger. Now I can't even stand the idea of getting together with my old crowd from my teens and 20s even though they would like to see me from what I have heard. Part of this attitude springs from me having none of the things associated with social success, my retardation is too subtle for them to put a finger on.

Well, it could be something as banal as Mighty Mouse or every boy and a lot of girls had to have cowboy boots.

Remember stirrup pants? What were we thinking?

We were thinking the pant legs wouldn't bunch up and ride up our boots.
Those flavored straws you'd put in milk and it used to flavor the milk as you drank it.

I know the intent of your thread, that is just not the association I came up with. Partly because people from the neighborhood of my youth recently got together for a picnic. I deferred because I don't care to discuss the whys of my failings, let them think it was the years of drug and alcohol abuse if they will. I just feel like if I bring up the autistic spectrum it will sound like a fucking cop out.

Hey, I still kick myself about things that happened in the distant past and no one else remembers or cares about the stuff but me.
Understand what you're saying. I have no intention of seeing the people (not friends) from high school if I can avoid it.

And that was back then $200, not today $200.

I remember hiking the hills around Pittsburg CA as a kid, we used to catch Garter snakes and King snakes. We always let them go so as not to fuck with the eco systems. Also going to the beach to find samples for my Aunts exhibits at Diablo Valley College. That early exposure to marine life may be why I like Seals. Harbor Seals are the most common pinnipeds in the world but I like them anyway, we have them here in the SF Bay.

Rabbit ear antennas and only getting a handful of fuzzy channels on your black and white TV

I remember my sisters having fluorescent socks. I wanted some but never got any.
I remember having a Walkman in high school and going through lots of batteries.

I don't ever remember fluorescent socks. At least you knew where the socks in the middle of the bathroom floor were at night.

Popular in Australia in the 80s. Now they make fluorescent socks for workmen and women who need to wear high visibility clothing.

Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You'd better run, you'd better take cover.

Yeah, from Western Australia.

^I remember them being like that. I remember when a show called "Beyond 2000" featured mobile phones and they were really excited about how you could take them into the car even. :D

I remember the kids that I knew being less considerate of the well-being of small animals. There was some retarded urban legend about worms being bloodsuckers, so when it rained and the worms emerged onto the tarmac at school, a lot of the other kids would deliberately stamp on them. Also, one time when I was out with my scout group, one of the kids found a frog, caught it and then threw it down a rocky escarpment as soon as he was bored with it.

Sometimes I see people that I knew at school when I venture out to the local shops, but we usually don't even acknowledge each other's presence. There are a handful of people who I wouldn't mind meeting again, but I haven't bumped into any of them.

I remember putting audio tapes into the tape deck of my acorn electron and waiting for 30 minutes while it slowly read the data into it's 32kB of RAM and either loaded a game or gave an error message/pixel vomit. Later, I had a BBC Micro with a floppy disc drive, which was amazing since it could load a game in just a few seconds.

I remember we had a computer like that, that read tapes and took forever to load. Have no idea what it was though. It had a really cool keyboard. There were games like Armoured Assault and Moon Landing.

I remember those. My grandma was terrified for uncle Henry's sake. He was never MIA but he was a door gunner for the 162d AHC.

That's why I avoid my old peers as well. I don't want to have to explain myself. :thumbdn:

When I was a teenager, tiny flat asses were favored. I remember a girl from my high school,
a tiny little thing almost as flat-bodied as a playing card, who used to wear tight designer jeans with the
ubiquitous BIG PLASTIC COMB jammed into the back pocket. I couldn't even have fit one leg into
jeans like that. :laugh: Now that big booties are so celebrated, it seems strange to remember the flat ass trend.

I saw this thread title and immediately had this song stuck in my head:

Those stretchy tube tops with no straps that every girl had in the 70's.
If you were any bigger than an A cup and lifted your arms up over your head your boobs fell out.

I never had a tube top, but I did briefly own a strapless sundress. WTF was I thinking? :rofl:

TV stations going off the air for the night playing the national anthem and then static or a test pattern. Also only getting only a couple channels clear and several that were all staticy. Now I get a couple hundred channels but frequently find there is nothing I want to watch on and overnights are filled with infomercials

The Red Green Show that used to come on PBS at odd times.

I remember the infomercials of the late 80s/early 90s. I used to leave the TV on all night
during summers in my first apartment, because my college-student roommates were home for
the summer and I felt safer with some noise and a picture on. I sometimes woke up in the wee hours
and saw the test pattern. I learned a lot about makeup as well, though I never bought the stuff. :autism:

I remember seeing Dr Gene Scott overnights in college and thinking it was some sort of skit on a comedy show the first time I saw it

Remember when parking spaces and garages where alot bigger, and 8 mpg luxury cars ruled.

Thanks. Forgot that once we had the national anthem at the end of the day.

When my first son was born 24 years ago all the standard rooms in the maternity ward were full and they put my wife in one of the 'deluxe' rooms there were ash trays with congratulation matchbooks in them and there was beer in the mini fridge. :2thumbsup:

I tell my kids about times when there were no mobiles, no internet, no playstation, no dvds and no video machine.

This makes me want to fall down laughing. That sounds like a very compassionate hospital actually. :laugh:

I discovered what the computer games were on. It was called a SpectraVideo console.
