A stingray bicycle with a banana seat.
That high-pitched noise that came from the TV when you turned it on.
Standing by the TV waiting for your Dad to decide which channel he wanted it on.

I went to a VERY un-PC Texas High School in the 70's.
We had 'Slave Day', where the teachers and seniors got auctioned off to the rest of the students for a day. We got to dress them in silly costumes, and they had to carry our books from class to class.
We also had the 'Redneck Rodeo' - the biggest event was where 'kickers' would save their Skoal cans all year, stack and glue them together, and jump over them on tricycles.

The only soap opera I ever watched- Dark Shadows

"The only soap opera I ever watched- Dark Shadows."

Though I'm a guy, I gotta confess there was another one worth watching... "The Edge of Night."

NO Doctors, and therefore, no mystery pregnancies.

EoN's fictional Monticello was populated exclusively by Cops, lawyers, and mobsters... Murder, mayhem, and weeks long courtroom drama! Perry Mason was kids' stuff.

After "Edge" of course, came the Mike Douglas Show.

"And we'll be right back..."

Don't worry about it- I'm black and we had "Slave Auctions" to raise money both in high school and college. It was kinda funny to see girls try to buy guys who didn't like them.
