Still like Wylie Coyote and The Roadrunner.
Theme songs - The Tigger Song
Bouncy, Flountcy, Trountcy, Pountsy,
Fun, Fun, Fun, Fun
But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers
is I'm the only one!
I'm the only ONE!
The Saturday morning western/horse/dog flicks - Fury (my favorite), Rin Tin Tin, Lassie. Roy Rogers & Trigger, Gene Autry and Champion, Tom Mix and ...his white horse. Still like the original My Friend Flicka. After school - the Mouseketeers...
No - pro wrestling.
Board games to include - Trouble, Scrabble and other puzzle games - Operation. The puzzle game that was a wooden box w/ a small board w/ a spring. The wooden pieces had to be pulled out w/o the spring going "sproing" - can't remember the name. The pieces were wooden. Lincoln logs (the originals), Tinker Toys.
Didn't get into dolls for long or Barbie - but had the western Figures with the horses - Jane and John West - with the son and daughter too. My original Breyers did lots of miles - in the sand in HI, in the mud & pretty grass in VA, in our pasture grass in CO. I mastered making halters, blankets and leg wraps long before they had them like they do now. Mine wore silver shoes made from foil and some were branded w/ the western brands of ranches out of The Western Horseman (using the paint in the tubes, now I can't remember what that was called. Artex was one.). Our first pony bridle hung between the handlebars of my bike in VA in 1974 - I neckreined that ol' pony a LOT and bested many of the local neighborhood kids in our "pony races". I sucked at jumping tho (those bike ramps were scary).
Still color and still looking for a couple of the coloring books I had when I was growing up (some of my art and sewing supplies were stolen from a storage unit in 2000. Lost some of the stuff I grew up with when it was stored in my parents' basement in Longmont, CO while I was in Korea - it flooded in 1987).
Played outside games like Simon Says, Red light/green light, Red Rover/Red Rover, Tag, Airplane (Simon Says is really tho only one can still play with the GDaughters...). We didn't make sock Monkeys - we made stocking horse heads that became our stick horses. My sister and I made a whole herd and shared them with the others in our local neighborhood - had races and lots of jumping matches that way, too.
Our daughters the other day - "What is Kool-Aid"? We used to drink it by the pitcher during the summer in HI and in VA...
My question would be "what are video games?".
Music - welll... think I've kinda "gone w/ the flow" - but daughters were really surprised to hear me start singing to a couple of Pop songs . They think that I know ONLY country (silly girls - I'm much more rounded than that - just 'cuz I prefer Country now doesn't mean it's the only thing
They'd probably die if they knew of the WIDE collections we had when their daddy and I were younger). I don't do true "elevator music", rap or opera... The rest? I like everything from heavy metal, to celtic, to "oompa, oompa" (german beer drinking) music. Once upon a time, I did a couple of latin salsa dances (couldn't move like that for long). New age & jazzy blues as well as my favored country... Big, rolling laughter...
I must admit I absolutely can not resist singing the Scooby Doo Theme Song when it's on!!! Every single time!! (Same with Gilligan's Island!)
