Do you remember when...

Re: Do you remeber when...

People still say this, most just don't know what it means (not referring to you).


My Grand father used to say "Colder than a Bankers Heart".

Or colder than a witches tits.

I remember it well, haven't seen it yet this year.

"Age?"
"As old as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth."

"Age?"
"As old as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth."

It was a real classic.

^ They don't make movies like that anymore. They keep trying to keep them up-to-date, and that often ruins them. (The new movie with Lord Richard Attenborough actually used a dollar bill instead of the US post office to with the case. And they couldn't use Macy's name or store.)

 

[DonQuixote]

Neil,
You are correct, sir.

And I also remember the old as my tongue . . .

What was the name of Jack Benny's butler on "The Jack Benny Show"?

 

[gsdx]

What was the name of Jack Benny's butler on "The Jack Benny Show"?

Rochester.

 

[DonQuixote]

Hey, I'm trying here.

You're sharp.

 

[gsdx]

Hey, I'm trying here.

You're sharp.

I'm old.

Time for bed. Nite, eh?

 

[DonQuixote]

Do you remember Bias-belted tires/tyres instead of Radials?

^ Of course. How about Pogs and milk caps and putting playing cards in the spokes of bicycle wheels?

And, on the Christmas movie theme, how many times did Alistair Sim (Ebenezer Scrooge in the 1951 version) say "Bah, humbug"?

 

[DonQuixote]

I remember the Pogs and Milk Caps and playing cards in spokes.

I'm thinking maybe he didn't really say it - just conveyed it - but I don't remember.

You're right, in a way. He said 'humbug' a number of times, but he never once said 'bah' in front of it.

 

[DonQuixote]

This has been replayed over the years - do you remember the Mercury Theatre radio production of "War of the Worlds"?

 

[frankfrank]

putting playing cards in the spokes of bicycle wheels?

Or baseball cards. HEY, GIMME BACK MY MICKEY MANTLE ROOKIE CARD!!

 

[DonQuixote]

Frank,
I was thinking that, too!

 

[gsdx]

do you remember the Mercury Theatre radio production of "War of the Worlds"?

Not 'live'. It was a decade or so before my time. But I did own a cassette tape of the recording.

How about winding your alarm clock?

 

[DonQuixote]

We had an antique time clock where I worked for a few years that was a key-wind clock.

And, yes, I had a travel alarm that was wind-up pre-Cell phones.

Do you remember super balls?

Yes, how about "Silly Putty"? Or Charles Atlas?

 

[gsdx]

I remember wind-up clocks. There's one sitting on the table beside the sofa. Also remember super balls and silly putty and lick-on tattoos, whittling, slingshots made out of Y-shaped sticks and strips of inner tube rubber, red light green light, kick the can, Simon says...
