The nostalgia thread or "Do you remember?" or All things old.

[Elgin Clock]

The obscure old tv thread got me going on a nostalgic timewarp so, I created this thread to talk about everyting and anything from your past.

Ok, here's the rules.

Post a little something about something that you remember from back in the day. It could be a favorite toy, like jack in the box, or tv show like thundercats, or even a song that you haven't heard in a while but you used to enjoy when you were in a simpler time.
It could even be a memory of something you used to enjoy doing when you were a kid, like climbing my apple tree when I was younger.

I'm expecting this thread to vary signifigantly in the content as it reflects people of many ages.

Just post something that you used to enjoy before the stress of robotics and more importantly (gasp), "the real world", got it's grip on you!

I'll start off.

Does anyone remember that toy car called the "animal"? It had tiger claws that came out of it's tires when it got stuck or it was trying to go aover an obstacle, more often than not at my house, a pile of books. It was the coolest thing, and I don't see it around anymore. They should put that back on the market.
