Plan Nine from Outter Space is coming on overnight 2:45 AM on TCM I think. Look it up, record it, worst movie ever made. It was made when I was two.Watching Ultraman
Some of the best subs I ever ate came from Stuffys.Stuffys. If you know then you know.
Me too. Good times. Provence was a beast. If I recall he was the first person I ever heard of that could bench press over 500 lbs.I've seen everyone of those guys play in person.

That’s good stuff. I remember USC having a horrible game against Clemson when I was a student and a few guys got into a scuffle under the basket. For a brief second I considered running on the court. Went from the 4th to front row pretty quick. I probably would’ve been beaten to a pulp had I actually went out there.
I don't think it's unusual to think about things, people or events of your youth as you get older.Funny, I was thinking about that show several weeks ago, for some reason. But, remember the show with Buffalo Bob.
Here's how naive I was. Didn't know my student ID got me a free ticket. My sister was a senior at Spring Valley and worked at the Mall and Mike Brittain (sp) came in and hit on her, and somehow I was supposed to get tickets for her and me. She backed out last minute and I went by myself, lady giving out student tickets asked me how many (it was a TV game) and I said 1, so she felt sorry for me for being a loser with no friendsand gave me a seat about 6 feet behind the ND bench.
It was great. We lost. John Paxton killed us, if memory serves, but it was great.
You still can when his doppelganger, Greg McElroy, is on the tube.Watching The Howdy Doody Show.
I saw Digger Phelps there. Coaching the Irish against us. Coaching. And I was a USC student.
And...Watching Ultraman
PrinceAre you team Prince or Team MJ . Always was team Prince and all my team Jackson buddy’s gave me crap . Still say Purple Rain > Thriller . Had many an argument at the skating rink over this .
Remember Buster Brown shoes?
I think so. Don’t remember what. Remember PF Flyer tennis shoesVery much so. Was there a prize or something that one would get when they bought a pair of Buster Brown shoes?
your first job was a paper route
Greenwood drive in is alive and doing great with 3 screens.Not exactly what you're asking, but I always feel old when I catch myself commenting on how much trees have grown in a certain area.
Being sad that the only drive-in theater in Greenwood was being torn down but kinda happy because they were putting in the first K-Mart which was pretty big time.
Speaking of K-Mart - blue-light specials and Icee's.
Also realized recently that most of the grade schools I went to have been torn down.
It was like 4 hours straight from 8 to 12. Yet today my kids don’t even know we have a working tv in the house. LOL. Maybe one problem is that everything is perpetually on demand now rather than a once a week treat and when it’s over it’s over.Saturday morning cartoons
Former running back George Rogers said Carlen was like a father to him and said his coach deserved much of the credit for his 1980 Heisman Trophy.Rotary phones, mood rings, teachers had paddles...and used them, no seat belt, three channels on tv, cruising the Beacon, South 29 theatre (Spartanburg people know this one and I’m ashamed I went there), Hardees had customers after breakfast, moon landing, Elvis died, I believed the news, Frank McGuire, Jim Carlin, bottle openers, good night John boy, etc... born in the sixties, child of the seventies.
That’s a good one. I held on to that student ID for a couple of years after school and networked to get tickets for a few years after the fact. Even went to the SEC Tournament at the Georgia Dome one year and was surprised to learn I could get a $10 ticket even though USC was eliminated. It was the year we lost to Ole miss in round one when Odom was coaching. Watched a great game between Kentucky and LSU. Probably still have that ID somewhere.
Every week at the Township and man I used to be sure some of those old women were going to attack Cornette.Watching wrestling at the Spartanburg Memorial auditorium.
