Fun & Games You're Older Than Dirt If You Remember....

When there was actually a card catalog at the library.

 

Bonus points if you still know how to use the Dewey Decimal System.

 

It seems so long ago that it was a government by the people, for the people...

 

Probably not anymore, but I was real good with the Huey, Dewey and Louie system by Disney.....:biggrin5:

 

Going next door to see what a television was.

 

When you asked for somene to please pass the salt at "The Last Supper". :lol:

 

If you remember Howard Cosell, "Dandy" Don Meredith and Frank Gifford.

"Turn out the lights.... The party's over...."

 

Monday Night Football!

 

Adjusting the "rotor" on the rooftop antenna to turn it to get a better picture....
Had cable most of the time, but that rooftop antenna that could be turned was useful back when the cable outages were a weekly occurance.....

 

...when 'TV Repairman' was the job of the future. (Go find one now)
...and who knows what 12AX7 means?

 

When you were born before the Queen Mary was launched!!!!!!!!

 

When RADIO SHACK had the "tube tester" board that you would test all the vacume tubes you unplugged from the WOODEN FLOOR MODEL TV in the living room, and test...so you could order the new one to replace the failed one...
Thought it was odd buying a new vacume tube during the cold war, and having it say "made in cccp" aka USSR.....remember that part vividly in the waning days of tube TV's...

 

"Duo diode, hi mu triode.
Oscillator, modulator,
Rah, rah, rah!"

 

I remember when I talked Eve in to eating that apple. :devil:

 

Yea.....meant to thank you for THAT !

 

Ahh.....yes, the lumberman workout.

 

If the operator told you there was a long distance call your whole family gathered around because there was fear of the call being bad news.
