Your first color TV was a piece of tri color plastic, blue on top, orange in the middle and green on the bottom.

Along those same lines, you used to put the plastic screen on the TV to help Winky Dink.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! This is one that I have mentioned before and everybody else looked at me like I needed a rubber room. Even people my own age, I was beginning to think it was just a really vivid (although strangly colored) dream.

That was popular about the time my parents enrolled us in Judo! Classmates at school wanted to see me do a karate chop, lol.

Glad I could help, on the other hand, you're a martial artist, you've spent years paying people to beat on you, you've abused your body, been injured and come back for more, as we all have. Maybe a nice comfortable rubber room is just the thing for people like us:boing1:

When the same youngest child asks how old you are and you tell them and they say, "that is really, really old."

My 4 year old asked me what color dinosaures really were. He knew they were around long ago, and assumed I must have been there. :vu:

I loved my Rubix's Cube, it about exploded into a shower of little pieces when I blasted it with my .44 Mag. (true story). I hated those things, think I got 3 sides once.
