I have been to most of the Olympic Games but the one that was one of the most fun was I was a Lifeguard at some of the water events in LA in 1984 (they need lifeguards for insurance purposes) and that was the year the statues debuted outside the Coliseum ... the male statue was crafted after Terry Schroeder's body... I think some liberties were taken,

Wish I still had mine. It's great practice for keyboarding (even at my age I still freak the kuds at work at with my speed and accuracy).

My mom was super fast on a typewriter. I don't know if you guys remember the first word processors from IBM. They were called magcards. There was a magnetic card as big as a punch-clock card. You put it in this huge box...about the size of a dorm frig...and type anything you wanted. It would record it on the card. Since the cards allowed editing one could type at rough draft speed. My mom was so fast it would hang up and have to catch up with her.

Orchard Street is on the Lower East Side of Manhattan... before outlet stores Mr Tobaldi used to sell beautiful designer clothing (from last season) at a fraction of the original price. Some of my nicest clothes (and shoes) used to come from his shop.

We had a built in milk box for delivery at our back door (Similar to these)... I think you have to be a certain age to remember these... that and home milk delivery... I'm not sure it even exists any more.

My gran had the milkman drop off the milk. I remember that. If I was really good, I got to have some of the cream that was always on top.. Wow was this a trip down memory lane!

Also, aside from this, I was hoping to find a YouTube vid of an old Zenith TV. When you would have to turn it on 5 minutes before your show started because it had to warm up and then turning it off how the picture would fade to a small white dot in the centre of the screen then disappear.

I wonder how many AM members recognize why a real pencil would be photographed with a cassette tape...or, for that matter, what a cassette tape is!  But then, they probably don't read this topic anyway.

I envy your mom's typing speed!  I fondly remember IBM's Mag Card typewriter (#1 below).  The company I worked for had lots of them, and I loved using them.  The magnetic cards were the size of the classic Hollerith punch card (#2) -- the same type of card that bills for water, natural gas, electricity, and numerous other things used to come on ("Do Not Bend, Fold, or Mutilate").

A few years later, the Mag Card typewriter was largely displaced by a pioneering Hewlett-Packard stand-alone wordprocessor that had a CRT display with a mouse (which HP called a "CAT"), drop-down menus, and many other features of modern wordprocessing software, as well as a printer with interchangeable printwheels for different type fonts.  The English department at the college where I taught nicknamed its HP wordprocessor  "Grendel," from Beowolf.

(Footnote:  Steve Jobs basically stole the concept for the earliest Apple computers' mouse from a demonstration of a development model of this wordprocessor that he attended at Hewlett-Packard's development lab.)

I know this is getting off-topic, but Jobs pretty much "borrowed" a lot from everybody. Not many people realise this and my post was removed from Apple's forums within 20 minutes of posting but the original ad of the silhouetted dancers against the bright pink and green and blue and yellow, etc. backgrounds for the iPod when it first came out he grabbed from Mike Oldfield's (yes Tubular Bells) 1979 video for his song Guilty.

When I was a summer lifeguard... we had a system that one person worked the concession stand (it was out of the sun and gave you a chance to eat) and then your next location was the kiddie pool... the next chair was at the shallow end... then you moved to the chair between the shallow end in the entrance to the diving section... then you moved to the deep end by the diving section.... each of these were forty minute shifts (if you taught swimming lessons in the morning before the pool opened for general swim it was the end of your day) if not you started the whole thing over and there was an adult swim period for 40 minutes and the other guards started the rotation again. The only time the concession stand was really busy was with kids during adult swim time... if you worked concession any other time you had plenty of time to work on this...

I remember making a ton of those stupid gum wrapper chains and being made to put the gum on my nose (not just me, all the kids who got caught chewing gum) for "the rest of the day". I think we would pull it off at the end of that class in the hallway ROTLFMFAO!!!! Never understood the big deal about gum chewing, especially the hypocrisy of it when many of the teachers themselves were chewing it while scolding us for doing it.

At the risk of sounding like Grandpa Abe Simpson - "back in my day ...."  before cell phones, people used to interact with the people they sat with.  Photo taken during the making of Young Frankenstein.  Sadly, only the two in the middle are still alive, and Teri's been in poor health for years.   I read somewhere this was indirectly posed to resemble Leonardo's "Last Supper"  and that Mel (with that look on his face) is supposed to be Jesus

 I worked in a shithole department store that sold these, and for fun we'd intentionally answer using the incorrect response.  After several wrong answers it would give some tactful reply like "I can see you're having trouble, I'll come back later" and shut down / stop asking you questions.  Basically telling the user "if you're that fucking stupid I'm not wearing myself out.  Come back when you're not as stupid as you are now."

I wonder if 2XL is where the South Park guys came up with the idea for Awesom-O

My dad worked in a dairy. He was the quality control coordinator for the Borden plant where we lived. I do remember milk being delivered in glass bottles. I also remember how everyone got so excited about the new paper cartons. Silly, yes but there wasn't a lot going on in those days. Ok so this is a personal thing. My mom never bought packed cookies when we were kids. My dad would bring home paper grocery sacks full of the broken cookies from the Eskimo pie machine at work. We also got all the rejects from the popsicle machine, the fudgesicle machine and the push-up machine. When the machine didn't fill up the mold, the "light" ones as far as weight were kicked out. He would bring home the improperly filled ice cream containers too. We always had tons of kids at our house especially during the summer.

I love Teri Garr! Always seems like one of the most likeable people on Earth. By the way, Mel Brooks' recent memoir is a fun read!

Yes to that! And you know how to tell whether a boomer or a millennial typed something? The boomer puts two spaces after each sentence. Hey, that's what I was taught in high school typing class! I've changed my ways, as you can see in this post, but it took time to change a habit of almost 50 years.

On another site, I saw someone so aghast that anyone would use the two-space system, it moved him to say he "can't wait till all the Boomers are dead".

I was a bit late catching on to this change (it didn't make the evening news, as far as I know; it just happened in classrooms).  And it mainly applies to Internet writing/posting.  My former (up till 6 years ago) job used Word for certain documents, and we were still expected to use two spaces there.

I still use 2 spaces.  It's mainly a matter of personal preference, but I think 2 spaces makes the break between sentences easier to see.  That's especially important for ease in reading a paragraph that has more than a few lines.  (And I write a lot of those, including in some of my AM posts.)  Besides, with the proportional spacing property of almost all modern type fonts, the "space" resulting from hitting the space bar once is smaller than a standard typewriter space, so 2 "spaces" are still smaller than they would be if typed on a typewriter or using a fixed-width font like Courier New.

How great is Katey Sagal?  Why wasn't Peggy Bundy a popular Halloween costume in that era? The Mego Peggy Bundy doll came with a bon-bon box as an accessory.  No idea why Mego didn't make a Bud Bundy figure.   As you can see, other toy manufacturers made all four Bundys along with Marcy and Jefferson. 

IMO one of the best episodes was Married with Aliens

See the source image

Al Bundy had one or two sexy moments on the early episodes of the show.  Too bad Al and Jefferson didn't ditch the bitches and explore the pleasures of man-on-man sex with each other.

I had some serious fantasies involving Ted McGinley back in the day. 

Seeing photos like these helped .......
