Sitting on the linoleum floor putting together model airplanes with that styrene plastic glue and then painting them with that enamel paint with thinner that reeked. Mama making you put a piece of newspaper under it all.

My 4yo has a few of my old matchbox cars strewn in with his new ones...I miss when they were actually metal, those bastards will outlive me

World Series games starting around noon on weekdays

Going to the car dealer and ordering your car just the way you wanted.  Something like a 1970 Cuda in Lemon Twist Yellow with black bucket seats, brown carpet, power windows, 318 engine with auto transmission, drum brakes and the flower power vinyl top.  Friend had one like this. Today you get one or two option packages - back then you got the ability to make a one off all the time

Still have these, and they still work...

Same, as well as a few others. Entex made a rad Defender game, too. Do you remember the Donkey Kong Jr one, that looked like a small arcade game? Crazy to think, these were more sought after than Atari or Intellivision.

Yep. Remember them all. The one I wish I still had was Entex Baseball 3. Had the module attached with a cord so a second player could pitch. We wore that one out. Need to go look on eBay.

Been saving for a Norlin era Les Paul, don't make me hit Ebay for these. Ladyfriend will shit.

When you get that Les Paul, post pics on the Guitar Pron thread ASAP.

I was going through some shit one day a while back, and I found 2 of the Johnny West gold bags in the bottom of a box

Did anyone have this Micronaut set?  I've asked people my age about it, no one knows what the fuck I'm talking about.  That set was the poon.

Party line phone.  Had to ask if it was clear before making a call.  One phone per house and it was connected to the wall with a curly cord.

Riding in the back of the pickup going 60 down the highway while sitting in a lawn chair.

Napping in the back window of the car on long road trips. My sister got to lay on the back seat.

Rock fights. Still have a scar on the back of my head.

I'm lucky to be alive.
