Less than to choose between a 600 and a 1000 as a starter bike. Are my threads your earliest memory? I'm touched... ^_^ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiro Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Cr*p, I think I remember the first space shuttle launch. More importantly the landing. Does the release of the original Star Wars movie count? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the year they opened Jacobs Field and my neighbors company had a suite so we were up in the suite watching the game on the balcony part. Then on the TV they had the OJ slow speed chase on and during this the old dessert cart came rolling by so 9 year old BAD was smashing some chocolate cake watching baseball one minute then some jack ass doing 35mph on the highway in a Bronco Edited July 24, 2017 by Bad324 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that marked the transition between Operation Desert Shield, and Operation Desert Storm. I may have been more aware of that situation because my uncle was deployed in Kuwait at the time. He sent me some Iraqi money, and my dad received an empty Pepsi can with Arabic slogans and ingredients on it. These items came in a 'care package' full of Army propaganda material. I remember bringing my "dollar" into school for whatever 90's "show and tell" was called, and handing out "I support operation desert shield" stickers. The Challenger explosion is something I was aware of, but I think it was taught to me as history, not a current event. Side note, David Hasselhoff blames O.J. for stifling his music career in the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 I recall tv news blowing up over the blizzard of '78. I was 4 going on 5 at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted July 27, 2017 Report Share Posted July 27, 2017 I would like a good blizzard this winter. Nothing that kills people, but I wouldn't mind society shutting down for a couple of days, and watching everyone freak out about running out of food, etc. Hell, I'm even okay with losing power for some amount of time. Generator and cellular data will get me by just fine. Our gas fire place PUMPS heat, and running the circulation fan would use 2 watts of generator juice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
