Our neighbours got the first color tv I'd ever seen - late 60's. We had black and white up until the mid 70's. It always seemed magical to go to their place, sit in the dark and see real flesh tones, green grass, blue sky come out of that box.

We had a black and white Zenith that held out until 75.

How about twisting the channel knobs so fast it sounded like a machine gun! Sure to cause the parents to scream at the very least.

Or when the knob broke & we just attached a small set of channel lock pliers to keep turning it?

True story :laughing:

oh yeah. Or taking those vice-grips away when you don't want anybody to change the channel :biggrin:

Vice grips! Thank you - that's what I meant, but I've been having terrible recall lately (probably due to high blood levels in my thc stream).

I remember when people had balls and were not so offended by every lil thing that they saw or heard...I remember when we as people actually gave a damn...and respected their elders....I remember when growing up we had a huge garden and would take big crates of fresh veggies, watermelons and other things to people that needed it. I could go on and on...but you cats get the picture.

Yeah it's best to use a 22 on rabbit and squirrel for a good head shot so as to not to fill the meat up with buckshot. Being able to shoot like that got me put in the infantry in Viet Nam.
