Going to my granddaughters first basketball game of the season. I put on the cologne she gave me for Christmas named after Quick Draw McGraw. Wonder how at age 13 she knows about Quick Draw McGraw? Oh! Wait a second. It's Tim McGraw. Who in hades is Tim McGraw?(LOL)

Do What?....Oh, you were just thinking about Faith Hill....

This should be "things children should never know about". A program is on the History Channel concerning what to do if you survive a disaster and are looking for others. This guy is demonstrating how to hot wire a car.

Not a good idea

More things your kids will never know about:

AM radio jocks on WKY and KOMA:
Dirty Diaper Dan aka 3D Danny aka Danny Williams. "I'm headed east! I love ya!"
Beeba the Weeba aka Dale Wehba
Ronnie Kaye
Johnny Dark
Charlie Tuna

KOMA'a Top 15 + 20 hit list available city-wide every week. Included lyrics to one of the week's hits on the back.

Playing with KLACKERS

They will never know who MUNG is.

Playing with KLACKERS

================================================== ============
Or, watching a FULL Plate Glass window in a TG&Y exploded when one of the Klackers breaks off the string......My store and that is when TG&Y quit buying Klackers from Bud Smith......Big Red Sales...

If you haven't already, you guys should stop by the Oklahoma History Center - you'd enjoy some of the Oklahoma history stuff from the past 50 - 60 years - I did, anyway.

I barely escaped, myself.

things my kids have heard of that I never did? I haven't read this whole thread, but I would never have even thought about getting a manicure or pedicure or buying underwear from Victoria's Secret

Playing with KLACKERS

Getting yelled at for playing with klackers!!!

Diaper Services. At least i don't think there are any around anymore.

Manicure....Pedicure?????Not me<<<<<But, I have bought Underwear from Victoria Secret..............For my wife......Gotcha....

Getting yelled at for playing with klackers!!!

I yelled when I played with klackers, knuckles haven't been the same since.

The scar Frisky is talking about was a small Pox Innoculation usually on your left arm. Almost everyone had that shot....It produced a "Scab" and left a scar. I don't think you are "Old Enough" to have had the shot. Now, the Sugar cubes did have the Polio Vaccine on them.....

My sister got a bad keloid - a raised scar two inches across and over 3/4 of an inch high. It was really bad. So they vaccinated me on my leg, instead. It didn't keloid up.

Sadly..My kids never got to know their Grandparents on my side of their family.

Your mom giving you a couple of sacks full of empties (Coke, DP, etc) to cash in at the grocery store. "Buy a loaf of bread with the money you get and you can keep the change."

Sewer stomping, or just going down to Memorial Park (or Harvey Park) and walking in the creek.
"What happened to your shoes and pants?"
"I fell in the creek."

Floor furnaces. The greatest heaters ever! Don't stand on the grate with your Desert Boots though! They'll melt!

Don't even like to think about Floor Furnaces.....I got sick at my stomach (Long story) and "threw-Up" in the Floor Furnace where I was raised....The smell was not much to talk about and then I also had to Clean it up.....Yuck....Then, how about the Gas heater in the wall of the bathrooms of those old houses????I still
(age 63) have a scar on my leg where I slipped and fell against one in our houses.....Imagine trying to wear Starched Levis at that time of my young life.....No fun....

Ouch! Yeah, there were some hazards involved with the old gas heaters. One of my cousins dropped a couple of rubber bands down their floor furnace. The place stank for weeks. My Grandma's house had the old wall mount gas heater in the bathroom. We never had any incidents but I always worried about the towel in the rack over the heater.

Our bathroom had one of those stand alone porcelain gas stove. At some point during cold weather you would back up to get warmer and get a two to three inch wide burn covering your calf. Man!!

We had a larger self standing heater in the living room. My grandmother lived with us and you can bet you would catch with her dress held up and warming her butt......

Stingray bicycles. Pedaling really fast, make a sharp turn and slam on the back-pedal brake to fishtail! Alas! even at the tender age of 11 I was too tall for a Stingray. I had a 26" English Racer with butterfly handlebars and a 3 speed. Couldn't fishtail because it had hand brakes. : (

"Squeeze" brand soda pop. Strawberry was the best.

Going to the Kiwanis Center at Memorial Park in the summertime and talking one of the teenage counselors into putting the juke box on "free play".

Summertime swimming at the indoor pool at Harding HS. K-6th grade girls noon to 1:00; 7th-12th grade girls 1:00 to 2:00; K-6th grade boys 2:00 to 3:00; 7th-12th grade boys 3:00 to 4:00; family night Wednesdays 7:00 to 8:00. I didn't know why at the time, but when I was in 4th, 5th and 6th grades I really liked going to the pool and seeing the older, wet girls leaving. (Hope that doesn't sound creepy, it wasn't meant to be!)

Minnesota winning a super bowl....

What was the picture on a bottle of Squeeze?

Parents, other than theirs who say no to sweets. I had my share of candy, pop, and junk. Tonight I was at my granddaughters basketball game. There were all these kids, toddlers and young teens eating candy all evening long. Skittles, candy bars, sour candy.......

No wonder kids can't sit still for more than five minutes at a time. Probably left the game and stopped at McDonald's for supper.......

Here's a good one:.........How many kids will remember having a bicycle with no gears etc......Just a plain old Bicycle......Mine didn't even have fenders.....

No kidding! No gears, but mine always had fenders. I remember when Schwinn
had a two speed bike. It was changed by braking once while riding.

And you pedaled backwards to brake!

Like Prune, mine had fenders. We rode our bikes all over town. Lake Overholser and the North Canadian (I don't think they changed the rivers name in that area.) We used to fish; catch all kinds of snakes....and best of all it was free. That is unless when you got there you find that during the ride the glass inside the thermos shattered.

As in the TG&Y Thread, My "Grandkids" will NEVER know about the "Colored" Easter Chicks......And, if I have anything to do about it they won't know about the Easter Rabbits sold in stores. Now, the Easter Bunny is a "Cat" of a different color....I still haven't figured out how he Hides all the Easter Eggs and where do they find a Chicken that lays plastic eggs with Candy in them????I am hoping the papaOU and/or Prunepicker can answer those questions. Otherwise, I'm expecting an answer from Soonergirl26.....

Too hot to cook! Make sandwiches.

================================================== ============
I remember as a little boy that many a evening dinner was thrown together by more than one family.....Someone might have a chunk of meat and someone could only afford a head of lettuce and then someone canned some vegetables and someone had Enough flour to bake bread and then we would all sit down and eat.....The bounty of the neighborhood was shared by all those involved....
My mother could bake the BEST Yeast rolls in the country.....She was however a cook and manager of several local restaurants.....

Right! I don't remember if Mom & Dad had anything to do with it. I think she

oldtimer I knew.

Being new to OKCTalk, I want to thank all of you for reawakening long forgotten memories and add a few things my kids and grand kids won't know about.........Springlake Amphitheater and the outdoor concerts there, Wedgewood before it was an apartment complex, the bricked center lane of the Northwest Highway,Saturday morning televised live Little League baseball form the baseball field behind old Channel 5, Gary England and a cameraman broadcasting live tornado coverage from the back door of channel 9, Saturday night wrestling from the Stockyards Colesium (always wondered just how Leo McGirt, being blind, could do such a good job calling the matches with Danny "Watch Out For Flying Chairs" Williams, Saturday night Teen Hops MC'd by the fore mentioned AM disc jockeys, Mid-State Conference athletics, high school basketball finals being at the Municipal Auditorium and the court being the stage, not only telephone party lines which only went away in the metro area in the late 70's but telling an operator the 4 digits of a phone number, watching the early day space pioneers' vehicles pass across the horizon from the venue of one's own back yard, Kip's Big Boy............

-rare to see a toy or anything that was made in china, and when you did it fell apart within seconds of opening the package and always had a funny smell to it.
-playing outside, thinking the best toy you could ever get would be a big trampoline or a slip and slide
-having to ask permission to go outside because it was a reward, being punished by coming back inside and being FORCED to sit still and watch tv with your dad on saturday afternoon.
-parents reading books out loud to children as entertainment.
-rear facing station wagon seats

My kids (or Grandkids) will never know that "Thongs" used to be worn on your feet......Some of you guys didn't know that did you??

That a "Fruit" used to be what we consider "Gay" now
And, Coke is something you really just Drank when you were thirsty...

I drink Dr. Pepper but ask for a coke.....

I call all soft drinks "pop" my wife and kids call em "soda".

We used to say, "I'm running up to 7-11. Y'all want anything?"
"Yeah, get me a coke."
"What kind?"
"7-up."

I wish we had 7-11's around here.
