[Joe Schmoe]

Score: 18.
I guess I must be getting up there!

 

[j_garcia]

14

Guess I am not that old...or I didn't watch some of those shows I know who Maynard is though.

 

[Nomo]

18 For me too. I missed 10 and 11.

 

[adk highlander]

18

Missed the Dylan one (doh) and the Goodnight David one. What is that from? It is not Goodnight Moon.

 

[race4aliving]

19

Wheew!! I'm not even out of my forties yet and I can remember that stuff but I can't remember to buy what I specifically went to the grocery store for

 

[Midcow2]

Huntley-Brinkley report.

Missed the Dylan one (doh) and the Goodnight David one. What is that from? It is not Goodnight Moon.

They were NBC news co-anchors located in two cities: New york and Washington, D.C. and that is how they signed off each nightly broadcast The Huntley-Brinkley report.

[aberkowitz]

14

But considering I'm not yet 30 I don't mind so much!

 

[zhimbo]

Not yet 40

but I can hear its footsteps, sometimes, when I'm walking down a dark alleyway.

Only got 14; I didn't bother guessing for the ones I didn't know, so I didn't follow the SAT strategy.

 

[jwenthold99]

15

but I am only 28

 

[billy p]

15

Since I am to blame about dating oneself, I feel obligated to participate.
Missed 3*,4*,10*,15 & 18
Denotes no guess was attempted and therefore IMO 15/18 was not bad.

 

[AverageJoe]

OK, I KNEW I was old, but...

The sad thing is, I only needed to refer to the multiple-choice answers for one question (15).

I'll bet Tomorrow won't even need to do that.

 

[pzaur]

13

Hey, where's the bubble sheet for the Scantron!

-pat

 

[10010011]

18 that was too easy and I am not that old.

I remember some of that stuff being old when I was a kid.

 

[jamie2112]

I got 13 I am only 40 darn it.....

 

[trnqk7]

18/20 and I'm only 24...what does that say about me? I missed 4 and 11.

 

[Tomorrow]

OK, I KNEW I was old, but...

The sad thing is, I only needed to refer to the multiple-choice answers for one question (15).

I'll bet Tomorrow won't even need to do that.

I'm so old I can't remember.........

 

[darien87]

I got 16 and I'll be 40 in a couple of years.

Our Childhood in Black and White

Our Childhood in Black and White.

Black and White
(Under age 40? You won't understand.)

You could hardly see for all the snow,
Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go.
Pull a chair up to the TV set,
'Good Night, David. Good Night, Chet.'

My mom used to cut chicken, chop eggs and spread mayo on the same cutting board with the same knife and no bleach, but we didn't seem to get food poisoning.

My mom used to defrost hamburger on the counter AND I used to eat it raw sometimes, too. Our school sandwiches were wrapped in wax paper in a brown paper bag, not in ice-pack coolers, but I can't remember getting e.coli.

Almost all of us would have rather gone swimming in the lake instead of a pristine pool (talk about boring)-- no beach closures then.

The term cell phone would have conjured up a phone in a jail cell, and a pager was the school PA system.

We all took gym, not PE, and risked permanent injury with a pair of high top Ked's (only worn in gym) instead of having cross-training athletic shoes with air cushion soles and built in light reflectors. I can't recall any injuries, but they must have happened because they tell us how much safer we are now.

Flunking gym was not an option, even for stupid kids! I guess PE must be much harder than gym.

Speaking of school, we all said prayers and sang the national anthem, and staying in detention after school caught all sorts of negative attention.

We must have had horribly damaged psyches. What an archaic health system we had then. Remember school nurses? Ours wore a hat and everything.

I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself.

I just can't recall how bored we were without computers, Play Station, Nintendo, X-box or 270 digital TV cable stations.

Oh yeah ... and where was the Benadryl and sterilization kit when I got that bee sting? I could have been killed!

We played 'king of the hill' on piles of gravel left on vacant construction sites, and when we got hurt, Mom pulled out the 48-cent bottle of Mercurochrome (kids liked it better because it didn't sting like iodine did) and then we got our butt spanked.

Now it's a trip to the emergency room, followed by a 10-day dose of a $49 bottle of antibiotics, and then Mom calls the attorney to sue the contractor for leaving a horribly vicious pile of gravel where it was such a threat.

We didn't act up at the neighbor's house either because if we did, we got our butt spanked there and we got our butt spanked again when we got home.

I recall Donny Reynolds from next door coming over and doing his tricks on the front step, just before he fell off. Little did his Mom know that she could have owned our house. Instead, she picked him up and swatted him for being such a goof. It was a neighborhood run amuck.

To top it off, not a single person I knew had ever been told that they were from a dysfunctional family. How could we possibly have known that?

We needed to get into group therapy and anger management classes? We were obviously so duped by so many societal ills that we didn't even notice that the entire country wasn't taking Prozac! How did we ever survive?


LOVE TO ALL OF US WHO SHARED THIS ERA, AND TO ALL WHO DIDN'T; SORRY FOR WHAT YOU MISSED. I WOULDN'T TRADE IT FOR ANYTHING.
