I had forgotten about that!And speaking of nostalgia, how about the cents key on the keyboard. Any luck finding that lately?
Love this thread. Glad it came back from the near-dead.

It's all Vito's fault.I had forgotten about that!

Finding stray jellybeans in the plastic grass at the bottom of my Easter basket after I thought they were all gone.
And for some reason, those little chocolate eggs in the colored foil tasted so much better than the other chocolate.
All of the above! I still would love to play Pong. (*makes note to self to look this one up as an app. Though it wouldn't be the same as when played on a 27" CRT television with that "ponging" noise that must have driven our parents nuts.*)Pong, I'm pretty sure it was the first home video game. I used to sit and play that by the hours. Then when Atari came out, LOVED. IT.
Arcades with skeeball, and you'd play for hours to win all those tickets to get some cheap plastic doohickey. Good times, good times.
Miniature golf. We used to go to NH every summer. We were the only ones at the mini golf course and used to skip the last hole and play for hours until the mosquitoes chased us away. Then we sat in the car eating ice cream.
As for cereal, Crunch Berry was good, but Count Chocula was the best.
And there were no reruns, and only three commercials per show.I'm sure I probably mentioned this somewhere up thread, but...
- The Loretta Young Show
- Ozzie & Harriet
- Father Knows Best
- Leave It to Beaver
- The Untouchables
- The Fugitive
What?
All we had/did for entertainment was TV.
Sneaking a copy of Mad Magazine to school, and reading it when the teacher wasn't looking.
I miss friends' birthday parties, the kind that were in the birthday kid's house, with musical chairs, tag, cake and ice cream, and a hand-sized goodie bag with candies and (then) ten cent toys.
Waking up at 6 am Saturday mornings to watch cartoons before my siblings woke up and eat super sugary cereal. Seriously, cartoons and cereal were way better and more varied when I was a kid.
