zippyt · 05-05-2004, 09:07 PM

I miss rideing down to Frost tops , a little root beer joint . My mom would give me like $3 , that would buy a large lotta-burger fires and an endless frosty mug of root beer , some change for the juke-box , then a trip to the 10 cent store for candy .

Rideing my bike for HOURS going no were , but in a hurry to get there .

Playing army with bb guns . My mom got me a whole case of these smoke gernades that you could light by scratching the head like a match( don't be hideing in no tree houses!!! ) , bottle rockets were for the fast movers ( kids on bikes ) , cherry bombs and sling-shots were artty . we used to have full scale wars !!!!!

And you made it out of childhood with both eyes and all your fingers? Impressive. Shame your face stuck that way, though.

Snuggling up to grandma for a story, she smelled of clean laundry.

Playing cricket in the lane for hours with the gatepost as wicket, no cars to spoil the game. Fielding for my brothers, my idols.

Christmas at the US base, best one in my life ever. Ever. Ever.

End of sugar rationing and we were allowed a chocolate bar each instead of one to share, my downfall sadly.

Saturday morning pictures (movies) ALWAYS cowboys & injuns and we always re-enacted them on the beach for days, I was a cowgirl!

Hiding down the air-raid shelter at bed-time, drove mum mad.

I do miss my mum.

We used to have a Frost Top in Baton Rouge. My mom and I would go there a few times a week, and get cheese dogs and root beer, and a root beer float for dessert. They closed down that Frost Top a few years ago. I was VERY upset....nobody has root beer like they do. *sigh*

Going to the drive in movies in jammies with a big paper sack of popcorn made at home. Then swinging on the swings in the dark with the movie going on, muffled in front of you.

If I could find a drive in, I would do this still. I think the outdoor movie is on the comeback.

I miss being able to play with my lego without getting wierd looks. I used to build entire worlds, both around the room and in my head. I get the stuff out (I have a tiny portion of my once massive collection left) and I still do - within 30 minutes I've got a rocket base on top of the lamp and an exploration team making their way across my external hardrives looks for rebel supply stashes.

I get a lot of wierd looks.

The Frost Tops i went to got turned into a Ti restraunt ,, wierd but they still had the root beer .
Then a few years ago they closed and it got bulldozed . I almost cryed when i saw them dozing that place

I can still hear Charley Daniels singing "Un Easy Rider "

Just look at them very seriously , and say " don't you have any imagenation left ??"

I have seen seniour plant enginers with a bog box of leggos in their office , they use them to visualize how new production lines are going to fit togather . Funny to hear older guys saying " NO the green blocks are the punch press production area !!!!!!"

CRAPPY GARBAGE VIDEO GAMES
CRAPPY MUSIC!!!!!

If I found a retro 80s roller rink I may go... One that had 80s arcade games.......

I miss alot of stuff from when I was little.....

Good tasting food
Good analogue music/video

The world is crap now and I think thats why so many people are mean and hostile now.... They see the world as crap and take it out on others....... I try not to do that,I try to loving and kind to people even though I am not happy......
