Something you thought was really cool when you were younger but....

The dutch one? Philips? Cool!

 

Yeah that's the one.

 

Here we used to think boomboxes come from America, Philips just made some to answer the local demand lol
But they actually had a part in the US market. That's fun and interesting to notice.

 

What I mean is that you can't find old hippie clothes at Goodwill anymore.

 

Pencil fighting. Pencil fighting - Wikipedia

We always played it while on the bus in middle school. The pencils from China were sought-after, because of their strength. Eventually people started cheating by replacing the graphite with steel.

 

So stoked for the slam dunk contest this evening!!!

 

I used to do a lot of creek walking back in the day. Burrs and stickers were bad too, which is why I wore rubber wader boots. I'll never forget the thrill of finding a waterfall with a plunge pool that was about 4 feet deep in a creek that was at most 8 inches deep most of the way.

 

I still like walking by creeks, but I also don't know what the appeal is, per se. The best is when you wade onto the muddy banks and squish the mud between your toes.

 

Creeks are the best, I grew up near a creek, my grandmother had one in her backyard, another relative that I spent summer days with playing with my cousins had one on her property. They're such an integral part of childhood, I feel sorry for people who didn't have creeks!

I still walk the one by my mom's house sometimes. And it is still really enjoyable

 

wrong thread? or did you realize that slam dunk contests aren't as cool as you used to think?

 

Oh shoot. I thought I was in What's Happening

 

Used to call them Brooks in the UK I spent half my life Wading in brooks and old canals used to go home full of mud and all kinds of weeds and shit ! my mam saved all my old clothes for weekends called them "playing out clothes" but sometimes we got our school stuff the same way on the way home there was always water

 

i remember when everything that was brand new, in its retail package from the store,
was just automatically had to be better,
then exactly the same thing, once it was no longer in the same box.

 

Depends on where you live....liberal cities still have them....I was just giving you a place to buy on line.

 

LA Gear light-up basketball shoes

Those things were dope back in the day. All the cool kids had them.

I heard of a shoplifter who ran away from the cops one night wearing them. They found him because the lights of his shoes led the way .

 

Stu Ramsay playing the dobro and a formerly great album made by Harvey Mandel back in the day
