Hear Hear. We are the Best of the Best !! 

BTW, did anyone here ever listen to or heard of Dr. Demento ?? 

Radio show on KMET 94.7 in Los Angeles in the '70's-'80's. 

They're radio call sign was "A little bit of heaven 94.7 KMET a tweedley de".

Well, I have done all these and don't consider myself "so old".

I can relate to most of that.....

But here's one for all of ya....

I do remember "calling"  friends.  That is, if we wanted to play with Tom & Frank,  for example, we would go to their house, stand on the porch and call, "TA-AHM!, TA-AHM!, TA-AHM!"  or "FRAY-ANK!, FRAY-ANK!, FRAY-ANK!" 

I remember doing this into the early 1970's but by the late '70's, I don't recall seeing ANY kids doing this. Suddenly, using the telephone (..on a 2nd line just for the kids ) became the "cool"  thing to do.

Do any of you remember standing on porches, "calling"  your friends?

Yes! I remember calling friends from in front of their house!

I also remember scraping the cork from bottle caps. There were prizes under there!

Pull the cork out and press the cap onto your T shirt and push the cork back in with the T shirt between and you had a soda cap button. What fun as a kid and if lucky enough to have the bottle, worth 2 cents; bought a lot of 3 in 1 AMT & JoHan plastic model car kits with soda bottle money as well as cleaning up the road side.

Great to remember, guys, but there is a down side, as this poem shows.
