Oh my God, 23 out of 25. Hey what's the point of getting older if you don't get the chance to reminice. Does anyone remember making rings out of glass soda bottles. You'd scrape the lips of 2 bottles together until they fell off, took hours!! then you'd smooth them down and put them on string and wear as a necklace! Making go carts out of wooden milk crates and roller scates?? Playing hide and go seek, hop scotch?? God I am Old!!
Originally posted by I1tobernI got twelve. Brownie, my sources tell me that Butch Wax is what guys used to put in their hair to get the "greaser" look.
Its so funny when we go to the store. My son firmly believes that those dang wax coke bottles are the newest thing. I have to laugh. Does anybody remember those wax red lips?
