Let's Have a Thundering Thread Throwback! What Games, Music, Trends, and Pop Culture Take You Back to Your Childhood?

I've gotten into book nooks
I'm about half way through completing one.

I used to make a lot of boats out of paper and cardboard and sticky tape when I was a child, with my brothers. One is now a marine engineer.

I'd draw cartoons/comics as well and made books of them. I think I was trying to copy Garfield, except I had my pet cats as characters.

Now I've just got back into reading Roald Dahl books lol

I was a huge bookworm once upon a time. Love used bookstores.

Remember using brown paper bags from the grocery as school bookcovers?
Doodlies! Bored in class, doodle,draw! And then they came out with the multi ink pen. One pen, 5 or 6 colors.

I remember in first grade the teacher made me to miss recess. Because I had to clean the pencil drawings I'd made from off the top of my desk.

You're boring,you put me in a desk beside a window. You're surprised a desk became a canvas?

Yes, I forget all about that.

Remember the smell of the mimeograph machine?

 

[Bible_Locket]

Yes, I forget all about that.

Remember the smell of the mimeograph machine?

I do now.
The teacher handed out the papers and the whole class held them up to their noses.

And unbeknownst to us,that copier chemical had a slight narcotic affect.

If the teacher liked us and trusted us, we could load the projector.

 

[dkontner]

I didn't get to load the projector.

Little did your teacher know that you would later become a Certified CC Forum Safety Inspector!

Woahhhhhh! You're really really oooold.


Were you ever picked to load the projector?

Remember this?


I was. Once.

It was a Friday,last period and I was feeling froggy just a week before end of school year.

I loaded it by closing my eyes and laying my face down sideways.

Not recommended.

Over head projector.
So what if I took her literally!

Wow you got plenty of supermodel giraffes there. Why haven't any of these leggy beauties graced the cover of Vogue magazine?

I've heard of Catwoman but I've never seen Giraffewoman before. She doesn't seem to be part of the DC universe.
