When things were simpler...time for a photo thread!

Bullying in school...

I have experienced it, but mostly because I stood out of the crowd a little. But now I'm in HS with 2000+ students, I just blend in! And it is true; people who bullied in school will grow up victimizing others along the way. Bullying is not a "phase" as some adults/parents call it. At least my experiences are over!

I was going to keep this thought to myself, but what the hay. If I needed a cab at the airport, and you were sitting there in the middle of the row striking that pose, I'd be soooooo tempted to break all the rules and hop in your cab rather than the first one in line.

Figured I'd post this

A picture of me from July 1984.

Also a video of me from Christmas of '84

Those early videos are great. Love the PXL ones too. Hardly believable a camera made by FISHER-PRICE could have such a following.

What's the console TV in the background in that video?

 

[spats]

That PXL2000 video does have quite a following in indie films. It's mainly for the look of it, as it is hard to emulate the PXL2000. The 1992 movie Slackers had a good scene shot with that, looked very ghostly.

That's just a 1983 model Sears (Sanyo) 25" with remote and varactor diode tuning. We gave it to my grandmother in 1992, and it broke in 1993. That was the last time I saw it.

I couldn't find the two pictures I was looking for, so these'll have to do.

First up: June '63 with my older brother. I was not quite three yet.

Christmas 1963. I still use that stocking.

And finally...

First day of school with my brother Jim. We both had Batman lunchboxes which were the absolute epitome of cool.

Awwwww!

What fun pictures!

Veg- Love the shiny brite ornaments on the Christmas tree!

I'll need to haul out the scanner and dig out some pictures of me.

Wow, what a great thread - thanks Venus! As requested, a quick visit to the early 80's, approx. 1983. Dig the flannel. Nothing like a quick nap after reading the Sunday ads.

Does it still have an 8-track player.

Gee that Pinto is clean!
They were tough little beasts, I delivered many pizzas with out fleet of Pinto wagons. When they stopped making them in 1980, the boss was smart enough to switch to Ranger pickups rather than buy Escorts.
