Are any of you guys old enough to remember?

"Pop Guns"? They looked like Daisy BB guns, but just make a "POP" when you pulled the trigger. I liked poking mine into some moist earth, so it would pick up a plug of dirt. When I shot it, it was a dirt shotgun. I shot my big sister with it, while she was harassing me one day, and I never saw it again.

    Cap guns were better, but yes I remember pop guns.

    They made a pretty good pop when you jacked the barrel. Stick the cork back in and do it all over, it was good fun.

    Internet service was pretty slow back in the 50's and 60's, and video games were not all that great yet, so you had to entertain yourself(yes, I'm kidding)

    Since it's nostalgia night.

    I remember

    TV = Test Pattern / Bonanza on Sunday night / Red Skelton on Tuesday night

    Steve Allen on the radio

    Saturday baseball game of the week and the Hamm's Bear

    Poodle Skirts

    Shooting marbles / clearies, shooters and steelies, etc

    Pulling a little red wagon around town collecting pop bottles / .02c for the small ones .05c for the big ones. Yes, people used to just toss them out their car window.

    Going to the movies for 2 bits

    .08c hamburgers

    .17c gas / my Dad pulling in and requesting a "Dollars worth of Ethel" in the 49 Packard

    Your turn

    Cabelas sells them.

    Chances are, your Granddad could make one, maybe your dad, but with the wholesale demise of wood/metal/auto shop classes and the political hissy about guns if you are under 30 you would not have been allowed to make one, even if you still had wood-shop at your HS.
