I'm so old that I remember when...... - Page 4 - The Orange Mane

Billy Clyde Puckett · 05-03-2007, 02:37 PM

[QUOTE=Rohirrim;1575638]I remember that one. It was called "Road Hog." The road hog was played by that actor who made a living playing evil Sydney Greenstreet types on TV, Robert Emhardt.

At the end of that one, he's having a heart attack and runs out of his glycerin pills so he's driving down the road to the hospital when... guess who's driving in front of him?

That's right - your memory is better than mine. I forgot exactly how it ended.

A few years ago while I was up all night, I saw an episode of the Untouchables that had Dusitn Hoffman and Jon Voight as tow young punks that got mixed up with gang members.

Remember the Twilight Zone that had a young Robert Redford playing Death? The little old lady wouldn't open her door so he shows up as a wounded policeman.

Old Dude · 05-03-2007, 03:21 PM

One of my favorites:

Culp was also great in another of my favorite episodes: Demon with a Glass Hand.

I don't remember that one, but my mother liked some show that was on at the same time as Twilight Zone, so i didn't get to watch it much.

My younger brother would put on an army helmet liner and shut the doors so no one could bother us when 12 O'clock High and Desert Rats (might have the title wrong - army jeeps in N Africa WWll) were on.

You're thinking of the Rat Patrol. Great show. Not as good as Combat! tho. (IMO)

I'm so old, that I remember when gas was $1.98 a gallon. Wait, that was only 6 years ago.

That's right. I forgot Combat, but i was really into 12 OClock High as my uncle was a B17 pilot during WWII. (He probably bombed Vonnegut in Dresden.

)

When I was in college there was a station that would sell us gas for .24 a gallon if we showed our student ID.

The first thing I ever won was from a radio station promo. It was a copy of Little Eva's Locomotion album.

Then they built McNichols in, what, 75?

In the late 60s, though I never saw Dave Congden in person, I remember when he made a hail-mary shot from beyond the opposite foul line - right there on that court. Saw lots of great visiting players there too - Dr. J, George McGinness, Moses Malone, George Gervin, and Dan Issel - who was on the Kentucky Colonels with Artis Gilmore and Louie Dampier.

I do remember that right next door adjacent to that Auditorium Arena was the Auditorium Theater. One year I was atthe game, and my parents were watching the Nutcracker ... anyway, the game ended, I watched Mike Wolf do the postgame on KHOW 630 Radio, and then went next door and waited on a couch outside the theater .... when the crowd came out, Governor Lamm walked by, and I perked up, "hey!" He smiled real big and waved.

Memories. What good are they, anyway?

We saw a few games but the one I remember most had more to do with the promotional ABA Red White and Blue basketball. I was disappointed when they gave it to us because it was flat. Smart on their part because there would be these balls bouncing all over the place. We took the ball home and everything was all better.

The names you mentioned are all amazing basketball players. Dr. J is simply the best all time player back then and today. Byron Beck was the three point king.

I'm so old, I'm married to a woman ten years younger and all she does is talk about the good old days.

Rohirrim · 05-04-2007, 04:37 PM

I'm so old, I remember Butch Wax.

And no, it had nothing to do with polishing dykes.

Old Dude · 05-04-2007, 04:45 PM

I'm so old that I was in the first computer class ever offered by my junior high school ...

... and we had to take a field trip to see one.

I wrote a joke that was aired on Real People with Gary Collins

and I had a picture I drew shown on Romper Room.

clarkster · 05-11-2007, 09:46 AM

leonard/hagler fight being promoted by taco bell

the cool thing at my school was safety pins with beads on them attached to your shoes

jim dandy chicken

slim goodbody(lubba dubba) in retrospect this was creepy.

battle damage he man(if you hit them inthe chest their armor would dent)

no seat belt law

no child car seat law

in high school, in the springs at the farm crest you could get regular leaded gas for .98 a gallon.

west side colorado springs was the "hood"(colo spgs specific)

penny arcade was the coolest place to hang out in the summer(colo spgs specific)

more colo spgs stuff, 7 at 7, the O at 11 all meant something

calvin and hobbes was a new cartoon

2 words, xanadu/ 8track- ick

my grandma had one of the first remote controlled tvs, it was a squeaker and the dogs kept eating them

my friends had another kind, it was literally a clicker.

cable tv was a luxury. the giant box on top of the tv

beta max

nobody thought an all sports channel would last.

Color TV was a luxury. And only 3 or 4 channels to choose from.

July 3rd is the 36th anniversary of Jim Morrison's death.

I remember living in a little town where you still had to turn the crank on the phone to get the operator to connect a call for you. They actually came to our school (second grade if I remember correctly) and gave us lessons on how to use a rotary dial phone. It seemed sooooo complicated.

Donk · 05-12-2007, 06:56 PM

I am older then jet airplanes, TV and ballpoint pens.
I remember using Bluing for ink so if your pens bladder broke or leaked my mother could get the stains out.
I was out of high school before Chevrolet had a V8.
I remember when Hudson was winning in NASCAR.
I remember how happy I was when Dewey lost.

Donk · 05-12-2007, 07:14 PM

I remember when I started school one of the hardest things was learning to go to the bathroom inside.

It was hard enough peeing. The way they house broke you was to make you stay in the room until you did your job. They had to nail the window shut as I just pissed out the window like I did at home.

I would soil my overalls before I would **** in the house.
I would set on the throne for hours and not be able to go..... when i used the outhouse no problem everything came out ok.

I wasn't totaly toilet trained until I joined the Marines.
