What do you remember? I'm feeling nostalgic today
- Thread starter strictlye
- Start date
I'm bored at work, so here we go:
In Living Colour - Jim Carrey was classic.
House Party - the movie with Kid and Play. I just watched it again a couple of weeks ago. Still a fun movie.
Atari 2600 - I had one with about 100 games. Ended up selling it for a couple of tanks of gas.
Pinball - I miss pinball. So hard to find a decent pinball machine.
Streetfighter 2 - This was a revolutionary arcade game.

I remember doing ramps with steel ashtrays from the donut shop duct-taped to our leathers and shooting sparks. I remember OPP guys doing burnouts for us in their police cars..I remember people high-siding on the Islington ramp at 3am..I remember 200 bikes lined up on Explorer Dr and drag racing for an hour..those were the days..
Good times at Weston/Finch meet up, then off to Explorer or Trafalgar. The big guy that does all the launches, bike vs bikes, seeing headlights lighting up the sky (wheelie) on the way back after the 1/4 mile, bike vs hot rods, guy always in Marlboro Kocinski leathers, some guy on a TZR250 3XV, Ted the old guy with the nice CBR900RR/Ducati/HD etc, drag bikes with wheelie bars so long I wondered how he made it to Weston/Finch. Eating at Mr. Sub waiting for the word on when and where... All ended when some kid got killed when he didn't see the turn at the end of Explorer, hit a tree or a light post.
and I remember the commercial of a guy sitting in a lawn chair at the border taunting American's about winning it, then in case they missed it, popping in a VHS of '93.
It was either Molson or Labatt's, can't recall that.
Walking down to the corner store at 6 or 7 to get my mom some smokes.
Seeing a jaywalker get hit by a streetcar on the Danforth.
Being cheesed off when comics went up to 12 cents.
Bell bottoms.
TV in black and white and rabbit ears.
Underdog, the Thunderbirds and Space Ghost.
Rocketship 7 & Commander Tom
Butternut Square which turned into Mr. Dressup. Friendly Giant and Chez Helene. Captain Kangaroo.
The Leafs winning the cup and there being no riot at the parade.
My grandmother cancelling her Leaf tickets when they went up over $12 each.
Mr. Eaton pulling his curtains on Sundays.
When track shoes first came out and they were garbage.
Playing buck-buck, red rover and relevio in the school yard.
Ed Sullivan.
The Moon landing on T.V.
Rowan and Martin's Laugh In
Drive in on Kennedy Rd
The baby blue movie

I remember getting a remote control for the TV which meant I didn't have to get up and clack through the 12 channels on the dial anymore.
There was another kind that slid vertically but this one was more popular IIRC.
And when everyone had these TV's.....
