If you click on the link/photo...on Xmas nite 1965, I pushed the wrong button thus launching the red rocket at my uncle, asleep in his recliner. The sweetest guy you would ever wanna meet turned into Mr. Hyde real quick. Then he tried to break the gun in 2 over his knee.

How about that sound of a 9-pin dot matrix printer cheerily chugging along while that 5.25" disk drive makes that sandy wisking sound? The mass of perforated paper sitting in the printer stand and the sheer joy you get when stripping off the perforated feeder tabs from the sides of said paper.

Hmmmm... so whatever did happen to Multi-mate and Ami-pro?

I don't see a lot of wrist watches.

On people or in stores? I see a fair share of both. I've even seen the occasional pocket watch.

How 'bout a slightly younger cousin?.... I got one brand new in the box that bought at about 11 year old in 1976 I think.

Of course, I should prolly get one of them big flip flash bars while I'm out venturing.

The Cola baby is killing me. Santa's great too. There used to be a Chesterfield ad with a doctor promoting them. Can't find it.

 

[matante]

That one is a hoax.

Oh man. I had a feeling. Still funny.

Too funny, I was showing my wife these and she reminded me there use to be an add prescribing smoking as a cure for asthma.

I remember getting together with family at a young age and they all smoked while they ate at the dinner table.
