I remember this skit! So funny.
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
The one that sticks out for me is "Roll with me Henry". It's playing in the background during the skateboard chase in "Back to the Future".
I think 4 hours exceeds the nap limit and is known as a slumber.
I was making Smore's over the firepit for my daughters when she said she would like to catch lightning bugs and it made me remember this. So I wanted to share this with everyone:
PART 1
Nothing political here, just nice thoughts, if you’re old enough.
Close your eyes……and go back….
…..before the internet, or PC or the MAC….
Before semi-automatics and crack
Before Play Station, Sega, Super Nintendo, even Atari
Beore cell phones, CD’s, DVD’s, voice mail and E-mail
…..way back…..way…way… way back…..
I’m talking about hide and seek at dusk
Red light, Green light
Red rover….red rover
Ring around the Rosie
London Bridge
Hot Potato
Jump rope
Duck….duck…..GOOSE
Kickball
Whiffle ball
YOU’RE IT!!!!
When getting a gun meant a Roy Rogers or Gene Autry cap pistol or if you were at least 12 a Red Ryder B.B gun
Parents stood on the front porch and yelled (or whistled) for
You to come home-no cell phones or pagers
Mother may I?
Hula Hoops
When it took the TV 5 minutes to warm up
Party lines on telephones
Seeing shapes in the clouds
Endless summer days and hot summer nights (no A\C) with the windows open
The sound of crickets, frogs and whip-poor-wills
Running through the sprinkler
Cereal boxes with that great prize in the bottom
Cracker Jacks with the same thing
Ice pops with 2 sticks you could break and share with a friend
……but wait…….theres more…….
Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute commercials for action figures?
Watching Sunday morning oldies(Abbott andCostello, 3 Stooges)
Wonder Woman & Superman underoos
Catching lightning bugs in a jar
Catching Minnows and Crawdads out of the creek
Christmas mornings........

Christmas mornings........
PART 2:
Your first day of school
Swinging as high as you could to try and reach the sky
Getting ice cream off the Good Humor truck
A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers
Jumpin’ down the steps
Jumpin’ on the bed
Pillow fights
Sleep-overs
Runnin’ till you were out of breath
Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt
Being tired from PLAYING
WORK: meant taking out the trash or doing the dishes
Your first crush
Your first kiss( I mean the one that you kept your mouth CLOSED and your eyes OPEN)
Rainy days at school meant playing “Heads up 7 up or Hangman
In the classroom….remember that?
Oh….I’m not finished yet…..
You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked, and gas pumped, without asking, all for free, every time? And you didn't pay for air? And, you got trading stamps to boot? Kool Aid was the drink of summer
So was a swig from the hose
Giving your friends ride on your handlebars
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school
Class field trips with soggy sandwiches
When nearly everyone’s mom was at home when their kids got there
When a quarter seemed like an fair allowance; and another quarter a miracle
When ANY parent could discipline Any kid, or feed him or use him to
Carry groceries…..and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it
When being sent to the principals office was nothing compared
To the fate that awaited you at home
Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn’t because of drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc.
Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat, and some of us are still afraid of them
Didn’t that feel good? Just to go back and say, “Yeah, I remember that!”
Well, lets keep going!!!
Ler’s go back to the time when….
Decisions were made by going”eeny-meeny-miney -mo”
Catching fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening
It wasn’t odd enough to have 2 or 3 “best” friends
Being old, referred to anyone over 20(CRAP! I’m, officially OLD!)
The worst thing you catch from the opposite sex was cooties
Nobody was prettier than mom
Scrapes and bruises were kissed by mom or grandma and made better
It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the “Big people” rides at the amusement parks
Abilities were discovered because of a “double dog dare”
Spinning around, getting dizzy, and falling down was cause for giggles
The worst embarrassment was being picked last for the team
Water ballons were the ultimate, ultimate weapon
Older siblings were your worst tormentors , but also your fiercest protector
Drive in movies
Candy cigarettes Wax Coke-shaped bottles with colored sugar water inside.
Soda pop machines that dispensed glass bottles.
Coffee shops with tableside jukeboxes. If you can remember most or all of these, then you have
LIVED!!!!
I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I do.

Good morning from ATX. It's a lovely 63°F out. I'm up for the usual early Saturday morning activities.
Y'all behave.

Very good job. You could add:
DDT sprayers.
Building TeePees in that field behind the house.
Merthiolate
Building Tree Houses
Smoking your daddy's cigarettes in secret
Don't shoot your eye out.
Charging groceries.
Going to school barefooted when it was warm enough.
Damming up the creek so you could swim in it.
Those darned Buddhist are so rich they throw money away!
What a wonderful railroad. Good people worked there!

I know those folks' music.
Vern tore that song a new ass hole. Hell you want to cry for a week after you hear it.

I love squirrels. God worked overtime designing them.My gut is telling me you're the doing fine. The little robin is just that a little robin and sometimes things don't work out the way you intend. For example, a lady friend of mine was having an issue with a Rock Squirrel acting like one in her garden. I got out one of my live capture traps. Caught the rascal and took it to a local park in NDN Bend wash where the resident squirrels are fat.
Upon leaving about 200 yards away from the release, I ran over one just like it. Saw it coming and quickly decided I could not run over the kids on bicycles. It sucked but ish happens.
- Good Morning, D-Leagueans.
- 55º in Johns Creek. The rain is gone. Sunny. Pretty day in store.
- Likes applied.
- Lola enjoying the deck and the cool morning. QB proclaims: "Don't let her off of the deck." (just foo fooed yesterday.) Taking her to the MD party to show her off to the relatives.
- This is the earliest I have been up on a Sunday in a long time.
- Thanks to UK_fan for the trip down Memory Lane.
- Enjoy the day off.
- Be careful. Be safe.
- Tell us what you are doing today.
Happy Mother's Day to BKO and all the others out there.
Already found Lil Birdy. He's hopping and flapping.

That is just great. Maybe this miracle will happen.

Morning all. 63 sunny-high of 84.
Golden Retriever pup crapped in his crate last night....cleaning it out so my wife doesnt do it. Happy Mother's Day!!
She said she doesnt want to do anything or go anywhere today. The kids got her something and are gonna spend some time with her today.

Thanks Don, I found that on another website a few years ago. I remember doing some of the things you mentioned too.

It's 55 and sunny here, with a high around 78. Happy Mother's Day for all the mom's out there.
thank you Mash
and that's good to hear - you need to get a pic if you can
I took one pic. It's on the bottom of page 1986.
That's great about the little bird. Just love hearing birds chirp away, as it's one of the most peaceful sounds.
A birdy is born, and a squirrel dies in the mouth of my dog. Happy for her. Only her second one, and chasing squirrels is really all she cares about. Sad for the squirrel. He rests one foot deep under the pine tree now. 
A crowd of grackles went wild when they saw it. Hope squirrel wasn't a mama. Circle of life.

- Orchid plant (in bloom) for QB. I love you card.
- Biscuit sandwiches from JR's for the kids.
- #3 didn't get to come home from Ft. Campbell. Dang.
- #1 pinched the sciatic nerve. He's in tremendous pain. Dang again.
I hit a squirrel couple weeks ago. Felt bad about it. He darted away like he was going the opposite way then darted back right underneath my tires. That was all she wrote.
Shocker this morning. Our big dog, Summer, ate a whole, unopened loaf of butter bread while we weren't watching her last night.
Anyway, hiked to the supermarket for more bread and milk. Found 30 cents (2 dimes, 1 nickel, 5 pennies). Problem with several coins is various establishments might not accept them due to damage. No biggie, as Federal Reserve branches in Dallas or San Antonio will. Just gotta turn 'em in next time I visit one of those places during a weekday.

Squirrel Slayer.
Dad used to say that.
Might get that tattooed on my back lol
One time in my truck truck I straddled a duck. Had no choice cause a car was coming on the otherside. The duck came out just fine didn't even knock a feather out of place.
For Beverly, et al. Have a great day.
My mother has been gone a long time. Taking wife and daughter to dinner. My wife has always been a great mother. My daughter, not so much (bi-polar.)
I think Mothers Day is the busiest day of the year for restaurants.
