Blackjack chewing gum - good stuff! Liked the clove one better. Think you can still get em Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water - well of course. Can still find these too. Candy cigarettes - with the red-colored tip like they were lit! Soda pop machines that dispensed bottle - well, sure. 8 ounce bottles. Coffee shops with tableside jukeboxes - actually most soda shops and ā€œfamilyā€ restaurants had em P.F. Flyers - and Keds Butch wax - used it for my flattop Telephone numbers with a word prefix (Olive - 6933) - shoot, we had live operators and 3-digit phone numbers Peashooters - that wasnā€™t me, teacher! Howdy Doody - I had a thing for Princess Winterfallsummerspringā€¦ 45 RPM records - still have a bunch S&H Green Stamps - still find them around house, and Plaid and Gold Bell Gift Stamps too Hi-fiā€™s - Duh. Also had a Grammaphone. Metal ice trays with lever - still have some. Nice. Mimeograph paper - ah the smell of mimeo fluid in the mornings at schoolā€¦ Blue flashbulb - I have some with a screw baseā€¦ Packards - And Nash! Roller skate keys - have one around here someplaceā€¦ Cork popguns - natch Drive-ins - oh yeah Studebakers - not sure I ever actually touched oneā€¦ Wash tub wringers - had one at ancestral home that attached to side of cement sink/tub in basementā€¦ Using hand signals for cars without turn signals - had to learn them for license exam. Still use at least _one_ ā€œhand signalā€ once in a whileā€¦ Pant leg clips for bicycles without chain guards - darned straight. Especially with those cuffed pants. Ouch! (PS my social security card is a clay tabletā€¦) ---

Iā€™m really closer to the ā€œSOCK IT TO MEā€ generation. I may be new to the forum, but Iā€™m old as dirt almost everywhere else! LOL. My score: 17 out of 25. I can only hope I have 1/10th the energy of these two relics!! [Walt Handelsman](http://weblogs.newsday.com/news/opinion/walthandelsman/blog/2007/11/animation_baby_boomers.html) From what Iā€™ve read about you ā€œOld Geezersā€ on these boards youā€™ve got nothinā€™ to worry about. Iā€™ve got my own OG, at home! And I gotta tell youā€¦ it would take AT LEAST two , or three, 20yr olds to replace him! Catch you OGā€™s laterā€¦ screw the merlotā€¦Iā€™ll have a nice dry martiniā€¦dirty, please. Bella ---
