Seeing Evel Knievel (sp) make a jump on Wide World Of Sports and the running outside to build a ramp for our bikes. No helmets or pads.

That was back when we raised boys to become men! You might come home with your arm twisted at an unnatural angle and your head cracked open and bleeding and nobody was alarmed. You were told to just rub some dirt on it then to go wash up for supper.

Speaking of jeans, I sure do miss seeing them Rocky Mountains while Honky Tonkin. Those this was something to behold when painted onto the right individual.

I believe the Rocky's made a cameo in this video-- (if not Rocky's, something real close)

Getting them off was twice as much fun as watching them go on



Not really. Ive seen about a dozen pair in the last 2 weeks. When found, girls are paying a premium for them second hand. The regional manager for boot barn was wearing a pair last week. And filled them just like i remember back in the day

Dangit

I remember when hunting ducks wasnt cool. When you didnt have to sleep at the ramp just to go shoot a limit of ringers for the gram. And the point season

stopping dodge ball was the end of the end.

Preach it

Lol! We always had an orange spot around a knife wound when I was growing up. No such thing as stitches. Lots of tape if it started gaping too bad. Pour it full of methiolate and tape it shut. Lol

I remember exactly how that stuff smelled and how bad it burned.

I’m not condemning…or preaching…but I find it quite interesting every time I drive by a playground and see boys wearing helmets on the slides and swings

Who can forget the sting of merthiolate and the telltale brown spot evident under the bandaid?

My Mom always used kerosene on cuts. If you had a cough then you would drink a shot glass full with a sugar cube in it. Coal oil is what she called it. She was from eastern Tennessee.

101 octane at the pump was common, and 103 if you searched really hard.

Curt Gowdy had an outdoor TV show called "The American Sportsman".

Is that how it was spelled ? Anyway. It came in a brown bottle with a little rod like applicator. That only got used when a cut was really a puncture wound. Then the little rod from hell got jammed all the way to the bone.

I remember something along the lines of mi- cure-a-comb…but I don’t recall it’s use ?

I remember when you could hunt and fish anywhere as long as you asked permission and gave them some filets or a backstrap.
