Ummm, that isn't a sack race.
Never saw that one. Must have been a regional thing?
I was all growed up and married to my second husband by then, but I think it was some MTV thing. I just don't remember the name. I missed the MTV craze by several years.
PBX operators.
Uhhhh, yeah, wheelbarrow race.
Max Headroom, of course
The timing on this is wrong, at least on Pacman. Packman was released more than 42 years ago, without me ever looking it up. I played it in arcades during my high school years, and I graduated in 1984. And let's not forget out Guns-n-Roses Appetite for Destruction being released in 1987.

That's Max Headroom. And this ran on ABC believe it or not...
ABC? I thought he was an MTV thing. I finally did remember the name, but I was out in the barn, and nowhere near the computer to say so. My memory seems to be pretty good, but sometimes it takes a while to kick in, LOL!
I graduated in 1975, so I'm a few years off from some of you.

Oh, yeah, Suisse Mocha with half the cup filled with hazelnut non-dairy creamer. That was my warm-up drink in the winter when I got back from evening chores in the barn. Until I read the ingredients, and that was before I started really reading ingredients. OMG. No more Suisse Mocha Hazelnut for me, but I do remember it fondly. It really hit the spot on a cold night.
Well nothing is ever wrong unless it's wrong in your heart, big help ain't I
But honestly we ALL hope you find it wrong in your heart my friend
that was when there were male and females
Thank you my friend how true
Apparently, I missed that trend, which seems to be a good thing. Was it in the 80s?
Who remembers playin Slug a bug?
Never heard of it until some guy on a commercial said it recently. I couldn't figure out what he was saying, but now I realize it was "slug a bug." Some kind of driving-in-the-car game for kids? I missed that one, too.
We used to call that a Wapatoli sp. Everyone brought a bottle of something an threw it in a plastic lined garbage can. It was lethal and in the 60's
It was a mix of different liqiours that was all mixed like punch, was usually called witches brew
"Punch Buggy"
When Home Ec. don't quite cut it in the real world... bring a bit of the good old days teachings, with a twist and some creativity, to fix something that really doesn't need to be trashed.
This is insulated overalls that got some holes. Standard thread sucks. Any thread sold in stores won't last. But, braided fishing line does. Camo tape is good patch material, but also needs to be sewn on to hold.
Nobody taught me this. I figured this out due to growing up in the late 1960s through the early 1980s. Raised on hose water and negligence.

We use to play both games, Slug Bug and Slug Bus when we saw a VW BusWho remembers playin Slug a bug?
Two punches in arm or leg. Heck, still do it this day, lol.
Took both classes. Aced Shop Class; was the only female in the class. Almost failed Home Economics, lol. Cause I couldn't sew an apron, cooking is what saved me from getting an F
For me, wood shop was called basic cabinet making. There was basic metal shop, and basic auto shop. Those were electives I was allowed to take in my senior year of high school. Home Ec was so boring that I forgot just about everything they taught. These days, I find it silly that I took typing class. There is no need for that these days.
