Who the hell was the comic maker? And still kept the price cheap! Bubble Gum was where it was at.

I just bought a house this summer. The previous owner left some tools in the garage...one of which is an electric Montgomery Ward chain saw.

I'm so old, our elementary school classes all watched the Apollo 11 mission on black and white TVs....1969 -- I was in 3rd grade.

We always called them Monkey Wards. Why I don't remember. But we shopped there a lot.

Anyone else noticed the 'filet-o-fish' costs 10X what it used to ?

I'm so old, I remember when public schools went completely open and honest with curriculums for a while...............we were shown this movie in class.........

It's scary as red shit coming out your butt..........to see how relevant the author of the book was and still is to this day, in his revelations of the future (or NOW, it's just the present).

I remember Saturday mornings were the ONLY times there were cartoons on TV at all. Even on PBS!!

I'm so old, I remember when you had two selections on your black and white TV.......
UHF and VHF.

And there were only 3 channels to choose from. 2 on VHF and one on UHF.

I also remember, if you didn't have an antenna or rabbit ears connected to your TV, you didn't get reception on anything.

I remember when Dallas got a 5th channel on public TV. What a HUUUUUGE deal that was!!!
Channel 21 I think it was.

On Long Island, in the early to mid 1970's, we had channels 2 (CBS), 4 (NBC), 7 (ABC), 9 (WOR) and 11 (WPIX).

That was it...

I can remember buying an airline ticket with cash on the spot, and walking onto the plane unmolested.

There were protest marches when the price went up....



But nobody burned a drive-in down.
America was still America then.,
One Hell of a long time ago!

In rural western KY, we had 3 (ABC), 6 (NBC), and 12 (CBS), and a really grainy 29 (PBS). When Dad got the roof-mount antenna rotator, we could pull in 23 (FOX).
