Wow, I'm glad to see this thread revitalized! GREAT memories. I don't think I was quite as good as you all!
I remember:
1.Cutting the forks of one bicycle and then taking them to the local welders and having them welded onto my bike so that I had a REAL chopper!!
2.How I used to hate walking or biking home after dark. There was a huge cementary on the way that used to scare the crap out of me!
3. And the miles I used to ride. I used to ride 8 miles to meet my cousins and go swimming. And then looking for someone that could/would toss my bike in their car and at least get me part way home.
4. I remember lots of just plain gettin' in trouble. Once I stole the change bucket at my uncle's house. I was 11 and had a real criminal mind! I took all the change rolled it up and took it to the bank. That was the one flaw that got me caught. The bank said that since we had no account there I would have to put my name and address on every freakin roll. Who could imagine that the cops would check the banks for large change transactions. Ohhh my dad was so proud that I just stole from his brother!!!!
5. How about drugs......no, I'll stay pg13 and shut my mouth!
6. My first computer an IBM 8088 with a 4200 baud modem. No hard drive. You just put one floppy in one slot that was theOS, then put in the software! THen I upgraded and put in a 20MEG harddrive and thought what in the world will ever use that much space
7. I remember the Kennedy asasination
8. The Moon landing.
9. The little drinks that came in wax "bottles" shaped like guns, bottles, etc.
10.Hair half way down my back
