About ten years behind almost all of that .do remember bazooka for a penny with the fold out comic wrapped around it ,and the beattles "my mom loved them " girls in tight jeans , and one not mentioned getting to stay up late to watch the astronauts land /walk on the moon. remember bobs 19 cent hamburgers, red ropes for a nickel and candy bars for a dime.

 

[lilsalmon]

Festus...he was my favorite.....sheesh...gettin old. Always wondered why my dad was "filling the car with Ethyl"

 

[beaverfan]

hahaha I'm actually related to Daniel Boone! He's a distant relative on my dad's side. When I was a kid you couldn't keep me from my coon skin cap!

 

[Raincatcher]

Festus...he was my favorite.....sheesh...gettin old. Always wondered why my dad was "filling the car with Ethyl"

Nope...Festus was his second deputy. Gunsmoke was my mom's favorite show and we watched it every week during the 50's & 60's. It ended sometime in the late 70's,I think. Guess you had to be born closer to the "middle of the last century" to be old enough to remember....damn,that sounds so ancient when it's said like that! lol

I know you aren't talking about an original coon skin cap! Those things were getting scarce in the 60's! Sure wish I had saved mine. You have bragging rights being related to him for sure.

Yep,loved the little comics! Your mom loved the Beatles?! The generation of girls I grew up with were the ones crying and fainting when they saw them...bunch of goof balls. lol I got candy bars for a nickel and they were much bigger than the dime size. The companies swore there was a sugar shortage and they had to reduce the size...temporarily...liars! lol

I was so in love with Fess Parker when I was eight or so!!
Paladin was the main bad ass on "Have Gun,Will Travel"
Can you name all four of the Cartwright men? Big Daddy was Ben,the oldest son was Adam,then Hoss and the cutie,Little Joe.
No,the first deputy did not ride a mule.
Yeah,the gum was bigger and you could read the comic without a magnifying glass.
Let me guess,you liked Casper's mean cousins? lol
Peanuts in the Coke was something my mom did...
Yep,my parents used his book to spank us with...haha
Hip huggers and platform shoes were all the rage in the mid 60's...for girls
I loved the gas wars! I remember paying 8 cents for regular.
Ethel or ethyl was for all the souped up cars...I had a '54 Four Door Ford
The girls didn't wear the tight jeans,the guys in school wore them so tight they couldn't sit at the desk without being in pain...lol
My mom would go get 20 burgers for $1 when we had relatives from out of town...must have been before the first million. lol
They showed Elvis from the waist up so he wouldn't be shown as vulgar when he swiveled his hips
I remember watching the Beatles get OFF the airplane and laughing at all the girls screaming and crying in the crowd. lol

That's great trivia. I do recall him now as the deputy. Mostly Festus though.

 

[autofisher]

The sad thing is, I know most of the answers to these. It's amazing what knowledge you soak up when you let a geezer like my mom tell you about when she was a kid. :lol: So! Who wants a burger :lol: Love ya mom.

Yup it was the real deal, bought from an antique store in Lafayette in the early 80's. In fact I still got the cap stuffed away in a box somewhere, maybe I should wear it to the river when it's cold out this winter.

 

[Hawk]

When i came back from Nam & got outta the Navy, i bought my 1966 Corvette Stingray 427, fer $2700 george washington's.
:lol::lol::lol:...I Truly loved that car

gas was 26cent a gallon, & sometimes i pumped ethel.
:lol::lol::lol:

 

[Herefishyfishy]

I turn 40 tomorrow and that has got me thinking about life "back when"! Some of the things I remember as a kid:
Green shag carpets, rotary phones, pong, Gilligans Island, 8 track tapes, record players, a year between theater and beta, Kiss bubblegum cards, star wars action figures, coleco electronic football, cans with pull tabs, 8 packs of 16 oz glass Coke bottles and astroids for hours! I remember reading about some thing called a CD player in Popular Science!!!
Almost forgot ........Parachute pants.....!!!!

 

[OnTheFly]

Vinyl records and reel to reel tape recorders to play music
Dial phones only
Shampoo bottles made out of glass!!!
Cigarette commercials on TV and smoking allowed on planes and grocery stores
No seatbelts in cars
no cable or color TV
No digital anything
Hand held caclulators with basic math cost 100.00 bucks in 1970. Anyone know what a slide rule is?
Matinee movies .50 cents
Trout limit 10/day

The astonishing part of all of this is that these things and rules existed relitively not that long ago and it's still fresh in my mind. I really don't feel my age what-so-ever. My age has not effected me in the slightest. Why...I remember one time....I..ah..what was this thread about again?

I have a vintage Mahogany/Ivory slide rule. Decided one day I would learn how to use it, gave up an hour later... Eff. That.
