You know you're a 70s kid if

Lets see...

When I was a kid, your measure of a man was how big of a jump could you make with your bike...

Could you whoop ass like Bruce Lee?

You didn't want a fast sports car, you wanted a tricked out van.

The only time you saw rock on TV was on the Midnight Special.

Ultra Man.

Aersomith still cared.

Girls looked incredible.. Guys looked ridiculous.

 

Holy shit, you just brought 1976 back to me... I had hair down to my shoulders, parted in the center and feathered back on both sides... I had three pair of Levis, two were corduroy (black and rust!) and a bill blass paisley shirt. I looked like I just walked out of "Dazed and Confused" LOL

wtf were we thinkin...

Who am I kidding, I still dress that way.

 

my mom feathered my hair from the time i was born ('86) until I was 8..my poor childhood photos are something awful..my mom also feathered her hair up until the late 90's early 2000..the same way that she had done it since she was a teenager..I think she still does feather on occasion..she says that it "just looks better with her hair.." oh yeah need I say anymore "Farrah Fawcett"

 

the jeans with the rainbnows on the back pockets.... then going to catch "Grease" and pay 10 cents to get on the bus.

 

i drank tang when i was really little, what ever happened to it?

 

it went down your esophagus n into yer tummy you peed it into the toilet n it flushed into a water treatment facility .....thats what happened to the tang ya drunked when ya was a little-un .....in the 70 s , i was a drugstore cowboy , like in da movies

 

If you remember the kid's show where a hippy sitting by a tree with a guitar always sang this song:

Make a wish, have a ball
dream a dream, be it all...
If you want it, you can get it
But to get it, you've got to want it.
Anything you want to try
Just let go, fly HIIIIGH...
*cue trippy cartoon sequence of dude 'flying high'*
and Make a Wish.

 

^^ that kind of reminds me of reading rainbow??

 

The host Tom Chapin:



The show would take one word, like fish, then take it around the world. "I wish I were a fish and I would swim in the ocean that is created by rain that came from the clouds...

 

As a little Kid I used to enjoy watching ZOOM on PBS



Hotwater

 

Zoom is still on but its not as trippy ... lol

 

What about Evil Knievel?

Yeah, Zoom lost that hippie spirit. Stuff seems so empty today. Like a lack of social conscience.

.

 

I got one of those windup Evil Knievel toys for christmas. Of course I destroyed it by day's end, but it was cool while it lasted.

 

Speaking of 70s toys, Revell came out with a mechanical light up Goodyear Blimp model for the bi-centennial in 1976 that displayed messages. They can still be found on Ebay sometimes. Some of those old mechanical toys were pretty neat.

.

 

How 'bout that toy that you could stretch the arms and legs....the stuff inside tasted like honey.

yummmmmy.

yeah and the Bionic man ... he had that clear arm with the wires and shit.

 

Stretch Armstrong. The ad said you couldn't break him, but I proved them wrong.

 

i can't touch tang powder anymore

just can't...

 

If you chew on his elbows they break.

 

I heard the goo inside was toxic waste. They were just trying to get rid of it.

 

that explains my limp and third eye.
