What Ever Happened To . . . . . .

You go first.

be ubiquitous, everyone used them for advertising.

My grandparents always gave them to me.

I see them in stores all the time.

They stay...

was a kid, you practically couldn't walk down the street without tripping over one.

scraped it off every wall in the country and huffed up all the dust. Well, it would explain a bit, wouldn't it?

I can buy the knock-offs but not the originals.......:cry:

cookie thread :) It's not from LadyHawk

By which I mean to confine my definition neither to sex that is exclusively heterosexual nor to sex enjoyed during menstrual periods...just to clarify. :-)

he's disappeared

him. Also, where is Ralph Macchio? Also, the wonderful JoBeth William? We don't see as much of Tom Berrenger anymore, either. Like all of them.

...at least according to IMDB.

Frederic Forrest, on the other hand, must either be working in the theater or taking a hiatus. Maybe he's just depressed about rotten fellow Texans. Who knows? Fred, call your office!

Or he was, anyway...

:loveya: :popcorn: :loveya:

...we've got FIVE!

Take a vacation up here this summer and go to one!

:(

..

I mean bedsheet capes and fence-post cutlasses, marbles, fishing, etc. as opposed to texting, gameboys, and slutty lingerie

My sister and I used to eat them dry, like candy. Talk about an oral explosion! LOL

We were telling our kids not long ago about Fizzies. We figure they had to have some awful chemical in them and were banned. Why else would they not be sold anymore?

The joke going around was that the factory was flooded.

for some reason, no other sweetener would work.

I liked the root-beer flavored ones.

Redstone

That spray on dry shampoo. I haven't seen it in years.

I can get it at Rite Aid and Long's Drugs in California...... it's very good stuff.....

I am jealous.

You had to make an appointment, and he would show up in about a week. You were pissed because you couldn't watch "Million Dollar Movie". Anyway, it was usually the picture tube. Geez, I feel old!

A casualty of the disposable society.

Remember BIG consul TVs?

His latest recording is as lively as elevator music.

But his newest CD, Back Home, is disappointing, to say the least. I am going to offer it to my dentist to play in his waiting room. But if I knew anyone who was looking for music to play in an elevator, I would donate this CD.

I think
I'm not 100% sure.

I hadn't seen him around as of late. This place does not quite feel right without him.

...was about to ask. Hope he got through last week okay.

I got rid of him. :evilgrin:

:hi:

oops just revealed my age and freakiness....

Man, remember the robots?

The cars?

They made the COOLEST stuff

Remember when "Made in Japan" was synonymous with cheap crappy stuff? Boy, that was a long time ago.

And there is nothing freaky about appreciating such a gorgeous woman :)
I remember the first time I saw her, I thought, "Why is this woman doing porn?" And my second thought was, "But I'm glad she is!"

B-O-N-O-M-O, BONOMO!

That's all I remember of their jingle!

never liked the chocolate or strawberry. But the vanilla...um. Lasted an hour. I'm lucky I never choked to death on it.

Bonomo went out of business, I read online. Evidently you can buy a very near imitation, but I haven't tried it yet.

The good stuff.

But I did buy a good recent jazz album -- Peter Apfelbaum's "It Was Written."

All my male friends wait for women to approach them. Not gonna happen, guys. Grow a pair and ask the lady out, 'kay? x(

The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV.
Everywhere you look , everywhere you go (there's a heart).
There's a heart
A hand to hold onto.
Everywhere you look , everywhere you go.
There's a face
Of somebody who needs you.
Eveywhere you look,
When you're lost out there and you're all alone,
A light is waiting to carry you home,
Everywhere you look.
Everywhere you look.


...I can't belive someone had't done that yet :silly:...

i get so pissed off when i have to deal with people "dancing" like that everywhere.

I'm sayin' that.

i hate those sons of bitches.

I normally wouldn't go near a Pop-Tart, but if someone could dredge me up a non-stale box of Dutch Apple Pop Tarts, circa 1985, I'd be all over it.

Anybody remember those? Kind of like a Pop Tart in a coil. You put 'em in the toaster like a Pop Tart too, but they came in more "pastry-ish" flavors than Pop Tarts did.

I haven't even thought about those since the last time I had them, oh... thirty years ago or thereabouts. Don't know what made me think of them, either.

....that one and Sunset Blvd are excellent. :hi:

....I see somebody still has some GYHST and it's for sale on eBay....eeww I wonder if it's still any good after all this time?! :crazy:

Dorothy Hamill used to advertise it.

First it's a candy, then it's a gum!

Okay, it was a sucky candy and a worse gum, but it's the first thing that came to mind.

since I haven't seen them around lately

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO RANDOLPH SCOTT?
Recorded by The Statler Brothers
Written by Don Reid and Harold Reid

Everbody knows when you go to the show
You can't take the kids a- long
You've gotta read the paper and know the code
of G, PG and R and X
You gotta know what the movie's about
Be- fore you even go
Tex Ritter's gone and Disney's dead
The screen is filled with sex.

CHORUS
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
ridin' the range a- lone
Whatever happened to Gene and Tex
And Roy and Rex, the Du-ran-go Kid
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
His horse, plain as can be
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
Has happened to the best of me.

Everbody's tryin' to make a comment
About our doubts and fears
True Grit's the only movie
I've really understood in years
You gotta take your analyst along
To see if it's fit to see
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
Has happened to the best of me.

CHORUS

Whatever happened to Johnny Mack Brown
And Alan "Rocky" Lane
Whatever happened to Lash LaRue
I'd love to see them again
Whatever happened to Smiley Burnett
Tim Holt and Gene Autry
Whatever happened to all of these
Has happened to the best of me.

REPEAT LAST TWO LINES.

Now it's 11.5 ounces.


(Thanks to Andy Rooney for that observation)

College should be over for the semester, so he shouldn't have any excuses now.

These were the women on TV when I was a youngster, and I miss them. Duncan, especially, I think is one great Broadway role away from a late-life comeback.

Little boys shooting marbles?

Haven't seen her in anything in quite a while!!!

the script was well written and she was opposite of Jack Nicholson. My mother could have done that role and won the Oscar. Her acting is at best, average!

Name that song quote.

Seems like a dream now, it was so long ago
The moon burned so bright and the time went so slow
And I swore that I loved her and gave her a ring
The bluebird was high on the wing

Whatever happened to Saturday night
Finding a sweetheart and holding her tight?
She said,"Tell me, oh, tell me, was I all right?"
Whatever happened to Saturday night?

The years brought the railroad
It ran by my door
Now there's boards on the windows
And dust on the floor
And she passes the time at another man's side
And I pass the time with my pride

What a tangled web we weave
Go 'round with circumstance
Someone show me how to tell the dancer
From the dance

What ever happened
To Saturday night?
Choosin' a friend and loosin' a fight
She said,"Tell me, oh, tell me, are you alright?"
Whatever happened to Saturday night?
Whatever happened to Saturday night?

BRING THEM BACK!!

That delicate satin draped frame
As it clung to her thigh, how I started to cry
'Cause I wanted to be dressed just the same

Give yourself over to absolute pleasure
Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh
Erotic nightmares beyond any measure
And sensual daydreams to treasure forever

Can't you just see it. Whoa ho ho!

Don't dream it, be it
Don't dream it, be it

They vanished around 1988 and Pogs took over, when Pogs Died off.....nothing??

BRING BACK MARBLES.......Mabey I still have a Steely??

I loved that publication when I was a young, disaffected teenager.

Or was it Abraham, first, in the song???

:D
