Absolutley OT: Growing Up

[geofflambert]

I glued together an He-162 model. Don't tell anyone, but I mounted the wings backward with the straight edge to the rear.

Loved that show - used to stay up to watch it all the time.

I just saw Richard Boone in Rio Conchos the other day (first time since it came out decades ago) - he was good.

How about

I built a lot of models when I was a kid. In a fit of kid destructiveness a friend and I destroyed most of what I had built to that point in one afternoon. Once the dust cleared I immediately regretted it and never did anything like that again. I still have all the models I built after that point, but quite a few are sort of a jumble in a box. They were rather primitive efforts.

And I thought it was just me. Difference was none of mine survived.[:)]

I did it as well.

I also built two identical car kits. I melted one into a resemblance of a wrecked car and put them both in my fathers' Body Shop as a "Before and After" show for customers coming in.

I built the motorized Hood, lindberg model, pushed it out into the lake and realized I didn't do a good job on the shaft seals .....

Let's not forget one of my big faves growing up....'The Beverly Hillbillies'.

And I'm going to make another turn here. The good olde drive-in movie theaters. Always great fun. The dusk to dawn nights. The lot.
There is still one operating about 40 miles northeast of here in Warren, Minnesota.

Yup I think i was there forever and ago since i had relatives outside Donaldson i used to stay with.

When I was growing up Hogan's Heroes was one of my favourites. However, on the tv before HH was Gilligan's Island, and the Ginger vs Mary-Anne debate was one that I have never really solved.

After HH was Lost in Space, another favourite, so it was a great 2 hrs of TV!

[Big B]

Oh, Mary-Anne [:D]

But which was the "before" and which was the "after"? [:D]

A close friend did that with a Mogami half carrier version. It went straight out and then capsized in the middle of a pond. Guess he didn't ballast it properly. [:-]

I liked the x-rated ones that you could see from outside the park. [:D] Didn't even need binoculars. The '60s and '70s were a lot different.

[geofflambert]

I was at one drive in that had three screens you could see from anywhere in it. Two screens were G-rated and one was X-rated. There were little kids there. "Mommie, what are those people doing?" [&:] "Just watch Mary Poppins and keep quiet"[:-] Every parking spot had three of those speakers you could hang on the door so you could listen to whichever one you wanted. [&o]

Here's the best show of all time :

No argument here. Green Acres was the best. Got to watch it in re-runs in College in the 80's and it's still hilarious.

The best time to be little kid.

I know that I am taking this to a whole other level, but what the heck? I still get a little warm when I see an old photo of Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman. I preferred to watch this show alone, without my pants around...

....and here I thought I was the only one! [:D]

I remember watching "Star Wars" at a drive in with hundreds of mosquitos biting when I was just a runt. I think I feel asleep during the movie.

Did anyone remember to mention, "I Want My MTV!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGZSWdh17l0

Do you remember Tom and Jerry at the Symphony? Beethoven's Lenore Overture # 3 was playing.
