Are you Gen X? Want to do a little time travelling?

Top left is perfume - kissing potion (roll-on or spray, I'm not sure, apparently it was supposed to taste good ? ) , top right is lipstick/gloss - kissing sticks.

 

Gen X, Baby boomers and even the silent generation.
I have the crock pot and oven in that pic and they both still work fine. Also an old harvest gold electric dryer.

 

Just used that crock pot last Wed.

The vehicle shot with the equalizer and cassette player can be "trumped" by a factory option 8-track player

 

I remember shoving a match book under the tapes to align the heads for better sound.

 

Great show back in the day.

 

Bottom right character was Willie and lady above him was Dianna. Remember them eating mice?

 

Yep. It was pretty cheesy graphically.

 

V was shocking to me as a kid and I watched a lot of stuff not meant for a kid back then.

 

Brings back memories!! I was 13 in 1983 and BMX and 80cc mx motorcycles were all i lived for. My cousin Joe had a chrome mongoose just like in the pic above. I had a redline mx2 with alloy wheels, flight cranks etc. Nice things were not FREE, I had to do all of the irrigation chores on my parents farm. Plus help with harvest and odd jobs for grandparents. The 80s was a wonderful time.

 

I never got a really nice BMX bike. I started building my bike in the late 70's and by the time I was "done" I had a Lazer frame with Tuff Wheels and a coaster brake. Of course, everyone moved on to lighter wheels and a rear hand brake. I still have a blast on it. I had to buy it one piece at a time with my lawn jobs money. My friends and I were building XR 75's and 80's, CT 70's, and saving for our first MX bikes, so money was tight.

 

80s BMX was so fun! Piece of plywood on 2 cinderblocks was a jump. Talk younger siblings into laying on the ground so the riders could fly over them!! Ya tuff wheels were great for the abuse they would take. The alloy wheels would fold up on super hard landings.

 

I remember flying from Atlanta to Buffalo after moving there as a kid. We would visit family and I would always sit in the back of the plane with my father in the smoking section.

My mom hated smoke and always sat up front. Of course there was a curtain separating the sections. Can't even imagine this today.

 

Can you remember getting to a restaurant, sitting down and the table next to you just got done eating and immediately lights up?
