Jimi the pinball wizardThese were popular when I was a kid
I remember those! You pushed on the bottom of the base and he fell down, then when you let go, he snapped back upright again. Boy, it sure didn't take much to amuse us back then, did it?
I remember when we first got a push button phone, thought it was cool
And remember the Pushbutton Telephone Songbook? I think I still have one of those around here somewhere... Endless hours of fun playing songs on the phone (but you had to call "time" first so you weren't dialing the Philippines or something, LOL!).
Elephant ears!
Is this what you are talking about?
Or these
Never had them (had to look them up), but they look closely like cinnamon rolls.
Cotton candy.
Maybe Grandma and/or Grandpa could teach them a little grammar and sentence construction while they're at it. At least whoever wrote the above seems to have passed spelling class.
Sorry, I'm being a grump today, but all these memes I see every day that are misspelled and make no sense (in a grammar way) just make me so depressed. It really takes the "funny" out of it for me, or as in this case, the "profound." And the more of them there are, the more the sloppiness gets perpetuated. Sure, we can probably figure out what they're trying to say, but that's no excuse for poor written communications skills, and on the internet, written communication is all you have.
Grump over.
I remember all the years of being told AINT is not a word. Then, it got put in standard dictionaries. People still insist it ain't a word. But then, those are the same people that think " well, bless your heart" is not actually an insult.
As good as those both look, they aren't what my fairs had. More of a large, flat, round puff pastry with cinnamon and sugar, or honey, or jam. You know, the messier the better!
Being a Northerner, I only recently discovered that "bless your heart" was a bad thing in the South. In Oregon, we said that a lot, but it was an endearment, so it's been quite the adjustment for me. I have to make sure I'm not insulting someone if I say it, so I just try not to say it at all. If I really want to insult someone, I say, "Bless your pointy little head."
Like these?
Sorry. Just trying to figure/ find out what elephant ears are.
If it is these, I've hade them with powered sugar. They are tasty, but if cooked too long, they are nasty.

Not so much poor, but just the way back in the 60s...
Who remembers goin on family picnics. As a kid I went on many, wow what a wonderful feed. Always had grandparents along. I remember my mom used to always make a huge bowl of tader salad with paprika on top, I love tader salad. We'd always go somewhere where there was fishing to keep us kids and my dad busy and out of their hair. I used to think they were a real bummer when I was a kid but now I'd love to have that opportunity now.
its been dyed from the flowers, its a barbie car mr jimmi, anyways your first car was powered by two horses i think mr jimmi.I'd love to have this old 56 chevy
It may be a barbie car but I have painted many cars

Mickey's Big Mouth
Never did, never would. Sheesh, the Tilt-A-Whirl was about too much for me.
I always slide down to the bottom, lol. So, stopped riding in it. It is at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City
I've only heard of two of these, Colt 45 and Mickeys Big Mouth. Haven't drank any of these.
The precursor of the Gravitron. Once the walls were angled, the ride could steal items from loose pockets such as change and pocket knives.
i dont think the soldier at the back will hit much jimmi!
That guy takes care of the ones in fox holes
