In the Embarrassing Facts About Yourself thread, I put that I like
to watch Lawrence Welk reruns on Saturday night, which I truly do.
Watched another classic episode tonight.
Mr. Welk may be long gone, but he has definitely not been forgotten.

I had sea monkeys Couldn't change the water because they were so tiny. Dumped them down the toilet a week later 'cause the water smelled like a swamp. Some of them may have survived in the sewer system. Loved drive-in movies.

Oh my gosh! This post was my entire childhood. I had the original digimon edition of Tamagotchi. One time I lost it and started crying because I could hear it beeping, which meant it was slowly dying of starvation.

This thread is for nostalgia.

List stuff from the past that is "gone, but not forgotten".

-Lawn darts.
-Phone booths.
-Soda bottle deposits.
-Those fat-jiggling belt machines.
-NFL coaches wearing neckties, hats, and overcoats during games.
-Console TVs.
-The little plastic gizmos you put in your 45s so they'd play on your turntable.

Whatcha got?

No, the thing I'm talking about is the 50s equivalent of a treadmill,
except it didn't require the user to do anything but stand there and be jiggled.
