Non cruising nostalgia

I’m showing my age here but …..

remember when……..

Cracker Jack had good prizes.
Cereal boxes had license plates

The best toys, were also the most dangerous ( like lawn darts and chemistry sets )

Buying a book from the bookmobile at school.

School field trips .

Sleeping under the rear window in the car.

Full service gas stations where the attendant would ask ; leaded or unleaded .
Cap guns ( or just dropping a rock on a roll of caps )

Punks ( to keep mosquitos away ) or you could light a cat-tail aka pussy willow.

Vud-Vuts . Okay, you may be shaking your head at this one. Back in the day, if you lit a whiffle ball bat in a campfire, the molten plastic would drip off. The sound it made would go vuuuut, vuuuut, vuuuut. We just called it a vud-vut.

please, add on

I used to have a copy of the script , but I loaned it to someone in college and never got it back

That was the easiest one for me! Those words are used often (mostly behind the scenes) at the Renaissance Festival!

I don’t remember a whiffle ball with no holes. We had round holes and oval ( ish ) on top ( bottom ? ). Those with the ovals made for some nasty movement.

the last line is from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The French taunting King Arthur from the castle wall.
