If you remember any of this, you've lived in what America was all about.

Add ons, watching Grandmas making pie dough, watching Grandpa walk home with a brace of Partridge, pluck them and taking care when eating them to avoid the shot pellets.
Fall and all the dead deer hanging to bleed out in neighbors or your own back yard.
Dick Clark American Bandstand where we recognised and watched our favorite dancers-----Wonder what ever happend to Frannie Dorgarno.
First time we saw the Twist and the Mashed Potato danced. Teasing our hair, the smell of Noxzema, and Pepsodent tooth paste. Pantie Hoes, a gift to woman and girls to rid ourselves of the painfull garters when sitting.
Lovers lanes to hide and make out, bras that made woman and girls look like they had 2 missiles pointing out of their chest. Sweaters worn backward with the buttons in the back, neck and hair scarfs, Class rings worn about our necks.
Everything comes back in fashion after 10-15 years, surprised to see Moo wearing dresses and skirts that I remember were in style in the late 1950's , French Heels one inch high have lasted all these years and were the first pair of high heels woman -girls- wore before the stiletto came into fashion.
One thing I saw a few weeks ago was a teen male with a pack of cigarettes rolled up in the short sleeve T. Shirt, he was wearing. Darn, Please do not allow Brill Cream come back for the Males, That little dab of grease for a DA hair cut was nasty.

I remember all of that and then some. The "games" we played would most likely be banned today as someone might get hurt. I remember all the kids of the neighborhood getting ready for the right of the fall when we would divide up into two teams and play acorn wars! Pockets would be full of the biggest acorns we could find and we would have cashes stowed all over. Man those would sting if you had any kind of arm. It was war games and the rules were when you gave up or cried you were dead and out of the game. It always came down to two of the bigger kids in a shootout till one got hit in the face or balls! Now that was playtime! God I loved it.

You too, eh? :wink:
White oak acorns were the preferred ammo, as they were more round than red oak acorns.

Nothing like a good old fashioned snowball fight. Complete with snow forts.
