    I remember running behind the mosquito fog truck so I could cover myself with the stuff....thought it would keep the mosquitoes away from me.

    I remember staying up with my brother on late Friday nights and play with the rabbit ears to try and get the NY stations on our b/w TV so we could see The Steve Allen Show.

    I remember sitting at my boombox all night long waiting for my favorite song to come on so I could record it onto my favorite mix tape!

    ^^^ yes that too

    I also remember being able to fill up my gas tank for under $20 (it was 86 cents a gallon at the lowest- and this was the late 90's)

    We were dirt poor so by the time I got one and thought I was cool, they were already out of style. :-/

    I remember when the principal was allowed to spank you if you were in trouble at school and the urban legend around our elementary school that she had a paddle with holes in it hanging on her office wall, lol.

    I remember when it was so cool to tease your bangs and wear them as high as you could get them. Other very cool styles from junior high... hypercolor tee-shirts we wore in gym that changed color when we got hot and sweaty. Pretty Cool, Huh water bottles and tees and black sunglasses with hot pink ear pieces. B.U.M. equipment newspaper sweatshirts, leather bomber jackets with the world map printing on the inner silk lining, ESPRIT bookbags, using sun-in on your hair in the summer to get that sunbleached look. oh, and every cool girl in the locker room used exclamation! perfume and Salon Selectives hair care products.

    I remember when there was a smoking section in all restaurants and smoking was allowed inside the mall! There were ashtrays placed around the big fountain.

    I remember when our tv only had channels 4,5,7,9,11,&13 and there was no remote just a dial on the set. The other channels just came in as snow. And we adjusted the rabbit ears for reception. And my mom would make me so mad when she would vacuum or run a kitchen appliance during Punky Brewster and screw up the picture!

    I remember my 1st radio was a Poochie handheld radio but when I was about 10 yrs old I got a little pink boombox that was a radio and had a tape deck and I played my 3 tapes over and over (michael jackson, whitney houston, and madonna)

    I remember in 3rd grade we got sent home from school the day the Challenger exploded. There was a teacher onboard and my class had been watching it live. I cried the whole way home.

    I remember when we walked home from school when we lived a mile away. Nowadays I see the bus making stops every 2 blocks and the elementary school is only about 5 or 6 blocks away???

    I remember when there was mostly only sitcoms on tv (plus a few 1 hr dramas like Dallas) and I still remember most of the theme songs. Why don't they have theme songs anymore? Admit it. you know you belt out the tune to Facts of Life or Growing Pains or Full House whenever you hear them! I liked Step by Step, Out of this World, and Perfect Strangers. Catchy tunes. But my fave show musta been the one about the coach with like 8 kids and I think 7 were girls? Just The Ten of Us!

    You must be about my age. I remember all of this too. I lived with my grandparents and we watched MASH, Johnny Carson, the news, and HeeHaw. Their tv set was one that sat on the ground and looked like a cabinet.... it was wooden all round it and had to warm up for a bit.

    My brother and I would leave the house after Sat morning cartoons and stay gone until dusk. We had to be on the porch by sunset (we lived on lots of land... no neighborhood). We spent the day walking through the woods, swimming in the river, fishing, looking for "crawdads", climbing trees, etc. We come inside at dark, take our baths, and eat supper. Then we could either watch TV with my grandpa, play with our toys, or read books until bedtime. Every once in a while, we got to take flashlights outside and "camp" out in the yard using sheets to build a "tent".

    Holy cow! All these blasts from the past!

    Anybody remember trading stamps? I remember my mom saving enough for a sewing machine and a hair dryer (the really old ones with a bonnet).

    I remember JFK's funeral on tv, when Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. were shot, Neil Armstrong's first step onto the moon, taking the bus downtown when I was 10 and my sister was 8 on Saturdays after cartoons were over and not coming home til just before dark, being able to only watch half of the Red Skelton Show because I had a 7:30 bedtime during the week, having a huge crush on Mr. Spock and his pointy ears...and on and on and on! Oh, and gas was 75 cents when I graduated high school.

    Using a pencil to get the cassette tape to that perfect spot, so I'd be ready to record once another song I liked came on the radio.

    Well, I left it off to see if anyone else might recognize them -- but I think "Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp" was a pretty obscure Saturday morning kids' show from the early 70's. That's Lance and his compatriot, "Mata Hairi".
