The idea of this game is just to post some blast from the bast to see if the next person remembers the item/event/phenomenon or not. No need to wait for the go-ahead from the prior poster, just say yes or no and then post your own thing. It can be a pic or it can be in the form of words as some things do not have pictorial representations.

Do You remember?

Mimeographs

When the copies were really fresh they would be slightly damp to the touch and students got a kick off of thinking they could get high breathing in the fumes the paper gave off. :p

I sure do. It was outclassed by the SNES I shared with my cousin, though.

Edit: Darn it, too slow. No, I don't remember any special... clock radios?

Do the posts have to be related, because mine is a show. It seems that no one else watched

I loved Jewel Riders. My Fallon action figure lived in a half-finished Barbie Dream/crack House with the yellow Power Ranger and co.

Oh yeah, the dreaded Lawn Darts! Unsafe? What could possibly go wromg?
Alas, my chemistry set was also a victim of child product safety madness.

This was a fun little game, and popular, believe it or not:

I do, though I spent more time playing make-believe games than board games.

I'm sure someone remembers

I do - but never owned a pair.

Here's some history do you remember one of my favorite games - very ingenious: Spy Detector?

Good to see you on this game, othman!

And Spy Detector took some deduction and a brilliant design by the game designer (sorry - I don't know how to put pics in - I'm an old fart - fairly computer literate - but could not figure out how to put pics in).

And if I understand this game - you are supposed to answer - and then offer up another . . . do you remember (w. or w/out picture) . . . thing.

Yes, correct. The item presented may be visual or verbal. This is a writing site after all...

Do you remember your first banana seat?

I don't believe I've ever seen that one.

Here's a blast from the past. Yep, that guy standing to the right of Robert Culp is none other than Bill Cosby, in this spy series by Sheldon Leonard.

No, :( but doggonit, I would if it weren't 15 years before I was born. It looks like a cool show. Right up there with Howdy Doody. :p

You don't remember the Thunderbirds? I still have nightmares about them. And yes, I remember the Goonies. :D Truffle shuffle...

Now, this one might be cutting it a little close since I think I was born just the year before it came out but-

You don't remember the Thunderbirds? I still have nightmares about them.Actually, it was several years before Thunderbirds. It was Fireball XL5, Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's first Supermarionation series.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Hamster Dance - don't remember - but looks cute.

How about the Cracker Jack Jingle:

What do you want,
When you gotta eat somethin',
And it's gotta be sweet,
And it's gotta be a lot,
And you gotta have it now?
What do you want?

Lip-smacking'
Whip-crackin'
Paddywhackin'
Knickaknackin'
Silabawhackin'
Scalawhackin'
Crackerjackin'
Cracker Jack!

What do you get,
When you open the top,
And look inside,
And smack your lips,
And turn it over,
And spill it out?
What do you get?

Lip-smacking'
Whipcrackin'
Paddywhackin'
Olagazackin'
Infolackin'
Alliganackin'
Crackerjackin'
Cracker Jack!

Candy-coated popcorn, peanuts, and a prize...
That's what you get in Cracker Jack!
