I am so old I remember........

I's so old

AM radio WAS all over. CKTS in Sherbrooke played all the top 40 hits.

My dad bought his greenish AMC Rambler Classic.

Radio Shack had that fresh electronic smell.
 
I remember being in a band in Canada (63-64) and after the last waltz we played 30 seconds of God Save the Queen and everyone stood still until it was over.
 
I remember when you could rent one of these by the hour in Myrtle Beach at 16 years of age! Think of the insurance liabilities today!!!

I remember Rose's- big store in Morristown, sort of like an early-day Wal-Mart, having a big 55-gallon paper drum full of old bolt-action military rifles & a sign on it saying, "Your Choice, $12.98"..
 
I remember when digital watches were brand new and EXPENSIVE. I remember going to Super X drug store to test tubes with my dad. I remember when a chemistry set was a chemistry set.
 
I was not old enough for that what is it? (::banana:
The Jewel Tea company was a home shopping service. The man came around once a month, delivered whatever household goods you bought, and took the order for next month.
 
Two words: Lawn Darts.

I still have my unopened box of lawn darts.

I'm so old I remember removing mom's cloths from a hanger and placing the cloths on a chair....so that I could use the wire hanger to get a station in on the TV. Would screw around with that for a 1/2 hour only to get a fuzzy signal at best.
 
I remember when the WWF Wresling, not WWE, was taped at the Philadelphia Arena for Saturday morning shows. Each wrestler wrestled two different matches for the different shows.

Lou Albano was still a Wrestler
 
I'm so old I saw "The Three Stooges" Moe Howard, Larry Fine and "Curley"Joe DeRita. Live on stage at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago in 1960.

I remember All-Star Wrestling, Peoria, Illinois. Verne Gagne, Nick Bockwinkle, The Crusher, Mad Dog Vachon, Scrap Iron Gadaski, and many others. Standard Saturday morning fare on the local television.

Yeah, I remember all those guys along with Strongbow, Haystacks, Bruno and others. Oh and Abdul the Butcher.
