shadygroovedc Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 When I was little, we didn't have toys. We played with rocks and sticks, and we liked it, too! We didn't have shoes. We had leather mocassins. And when you poked a hole in 'em, you went out and killed another buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weyes Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 Originally posted by djbuster rotary phones.did you ever have a touch-tone phone that didn't beep - it clicked like a rotary phone?there's a switch on phones that lets you choose between "tone" and "pulse." look at your phone, my good man, and you should find said switch. switch it to "pulse," then dial a number. it will click instead of beep .and do not fear, cats and kittens! strawberry milk is still around!http://www.nestle-nesquik.com/nesquick_chocolate_milk.htmand i LOVED crossbows and catapults! a game where our parents let us make a mess !
