I Remember.......

I remember the year I got my Atari for Christmas. It was around 10-11 Christmas eve, and I guess my dad knew how bad I wanted it. There was a "thump" or two outside, and he went to check it out. There was a good snow on, and I knew Santa wasn't real but I got excited anyway. He came back in the back door with garbage bags full of presents, then sit up most of the night playing the games with me.

I remember when you parked your car and your lights weren't off, people would wave you down to tell you that your lights were on.

Also, the high beam switch was activated with your left foot.

Those floor switches were some tuff sobs.

I remember it but wasn't there.

I do remember in 1982 that the cross bar from one of the goal posts made it out of the stadium and on to the strip just past 17th street and blocked all traffic. I followed it the whole way.

Hell of a party on the strip that night with the topper (for me) being Smokin' Dave and the Premo Dopes playing at Hobo's.

I think the goalposts (part of them!) from the 89 Aub game ended up in the Last Lap and/or OCI. Maybe one place got the 89 goalpost and the other got another game?

Any memories of this Cumberland Avenue institution?

Refresh our memories. Where was it?

you must have watched a lot of Gilligan's Island

volinbham is right, it was very common in TV and movies. We used to try to find some as kids.

This is the warmest Christmas I remember. My kids wore shorts yesterday.

I remember, I was arguing with my mom and she made a comment about how rough she had it at my age. I smarted off something like "let me guess you had to walk to school 10 miles in the snow uphill both ways". I also remember the beating I got got after I said it. Haha

I remember being out of school the entire month of January and two weeks of February my 2nd grade year. They made us go to school on Saturdays to make up the days we missed.

I had that happen in grade school. We went on Saturdays for about a month.

What year and County?

Sumner County. It was my 2nd grade year so that was winter of '77.

Anderson County here.
Ah...remember that winter well. I was 14 and we had a blast. Then we got board and couldn't wait to get back to school. IIRC, they extended our school year by a week and cut spring break.

Same here. We all hated going to school on Saturday even though we didn't do anything. They kept us in the gym and rolled a big TV in there and let us watch Saturday morning cartoons.

Playing backyard tackle football whenever it snowed. On the side of a hill... no cleats allowed.

I remember when my mother always served fish on Fridays even though we were not Catholic. I suspect that she was concerned that Catholics knew something that she didn't.
