Ah......Catfish incident?..you did rub the wound on its belly? didn't you?

 

Unfortunately, I hooked it through the eyeball. It took me a couple hours to dig it out with my pliers. It was not a fun experience.

I remember when skateboards had Steel Wheels. :reallyconfused:
No, but my cousin had one with clay composite wheels that were apparently even worse!

Sheesh - clay wheels! That goes way back!

 

I think there was a dig up in Malawi where they found an ancient fossilised sk8tr troupe, with fitting graffiti as rock art and earthenware skateboards...

I remember a time when there wasn't a medical diagnosis (and pills) for every kind of mental hiccup. Nowadays, you've got this syndrome, that disease, this disorder requiring those pills, a type X personality that will require these tablets till you die, etc.

 

Back in the old days, you were simply full of ****, and it passed.

Don Herbert

 

 

He died last week. RIP Mr. Wizard. :rip:

So sad I watched him all the time.

 

the series Watch Mr. Wizard premiered on March 3, 1951. The weekly 30-minute show featured Herbert as Mr. Wizard, with a young assistant who watched while Herbert performed interesting science experiments.[3] The experiments, many of which seemed impossible at first glance, were usually simple enough to be re-created by viewers. The show was very successful. 547 live episodes were created before it was canceled in 1965.

 

I for one will mis him.

I watched him, too. One of my favorite TV shows in the B&W era.

 

At least two generations of American children have "missed" him, too. We live in a science-illiterate culture now. [sigh]

...do you remember where you put the slip of paper on which you've written down the number for THAT MOST AWESOMELY BODACIOUS GIRL you met last night?

 

If you do, I'm glad. 'Cause I sure as sh*t don't. :doh:

How about the Maverick TV series 1957-1962 starring James Garner and Jack Kelly.

 

I just bought all 124 episodes on DVD. It is like being 12 or 13 again.

 

Oh, dude, I am so so soooooooooooooo envious!! I want to be twelve years old again.

 

Warner Brothers TV put out several B&W cowboy series in those days. Maverick (the best), Sugarfoot, and... can you remember the others???
