Your Favorite Seventies Memories?

[Nahum]

One of mine is when my mom bought me a hand held Atari game called Galaga for Christmas. I was probably 12 at the time. It looked like a mini arcade console, and had a tiny joystick. The screen was black and the graphics were in red and yellow only.

I wore that thing out in no time. Does anyone here remember the Atari game where you shot the big blobs out of the sky?

I remember the first Atari game where it was two lines on either side that went up and down and "ball" that you tried to hit to the other side.

Black and white and that's all it did.

Great entertainment for a bored kid. I used to take a tennis ball and throw it up against the brick facade of our front porch. It would bounce back in all sorts of weird ways. It helped to sharpen my reflexes.

Maybe that's kinda what Atari was shooting for? Sharpening our thumb reflexes.

The seventies! lol! The Eagles (Hotel California), Fleetwood Mac, Ronnie Milsap, Bob Seger, Drum Major for our High School band. The drama club, FTA, FHA, UIL, Going to the Senior Prom with the President of FFA! Yee-haw!!! My dad scaring off so many potential dates! Arghhh!

All the Rodeos and the week nights watching the guys ride bulls. Saturday nights at the Wagon Wheel. lol!

Those were the days.

[COOPER]

I lived in Okinawa, Japan from 74-76. Moved there when I was 7 .
I went to to The World Expo 75', Played at the beach, ran thru the rice fields, bamboo, and Played base ball with the Japanese kids. I saw the movie Jaws and we did not want to swim at the beach no more.LOL

Then moved to Yokohama, Japan in 76 it was a blast! Then we moved to Jacksonville, Fla. in 1979.

Our family flew back on an Air Force "5-A Galaxy" cargo jet. I got to set in the captains seat and turn the plane left, right and pulled it up 5000 ft. That was very awesome for a kid turning 12 years old.

The seventies are full of too many good memories for me.

I had a fun childhood.

One of my favorite memories was sneaking over to my cousin's grandmother's house to watch Happy Days. My favorite toys as a boy was my Huffy bicycle, my Evil Knievel wind-up motorcycle and Mr. Potato Head.

I remember my first suit, which was a green leisure suit with a loud pattern shirt with collars to my shoulders. The style of clothing back then could never be duplicated....thank goodness. :whome

One of my favorite memories of the 70's is riding around town in my 1967 Mustang Convertible (maroon with white leather seats) with the top down enjoying the cool low tones of the resonator as I accelerated up the Main Street hill in the center of town. :)

Didn't you just love sneaking around thinking you were so hip by going behind your elder's backs? Of course, my cousin's grandma would let it slip out, especially with each passing year. She could never keep it a secret for very long. She was really quite innocent and very sweet.

One of my favorite memories is Sunday mornings, listening to WLS radio, which was a rock station in Chicago for several years. Now, understand that we were 'in church' and I was puzzled why my mom listened to that and kept the radio on while we were getting dressed, since she didn't even listen to country music (in the 70's, country music was rancid, talking about adultery and such). She told me that WMBI, which was the Moody Bible Institude station didn't come on the radio in the house well enough to wake her up.

I still am puzzled why she kept it on though. I remember asking her what a booty was (Shake Your Booty) and she told me it was a baby shoe. That song always puzzled me after that......LOL!

Since my parents were in the process of divorcing, she tossed the TV out and we never had one in our home as long as I lived there.

Movies nowadays are awful for the kids. Even Shrek, which I like, uses words that mean one thing but are used to mean another.

Like the donkey being referred to as an a$$, but not meaning donkey!

It's funny how you hear kids AND adults use words at church and you know it started on some of the shows. For instance "butt" was what everyone was using for a while and now it's and "cr**". I hear lots of people saying, "cr**".

Well, luck was on my side, as after the papers were all turned in, he announced that he was mailing the papers to all the parents and that my mom was the only parent that would be pleased.......hahahahaha!

Good for mom!!!

this was the 80's but, my 5th grade teacher took us all in to the cafeteria to watch "Romancing the Stone". For some strange reason, she disappeared that day and the Black Stallion came on!

The Life and Times of Eddie.....can't think of his last name...starred the guy who played David Banner in the Hulk.....LOL! I used to watch that show on Saturday mornings at the sitter's house.

You know you're old when you mention being a fan of Michael Jackson's music and your kids say, 'I didn't know he sang, I thought he just played basketball!'

"Ever heard of Madonna?"

"Madonna who?"

*sigh*

I used to watch Frazier Thomas and the movie he narrated on the Sunday matinee when I'd go to a friend's house between church services.....LOL!

I watched a scary movie once. I don't recall the name, but it had to do with a nasty, crusty mummy, a beautiful woman, and she sacrificed young beauties by cutting their necks and collecting their blood in a chalice, then drinking it and offering it to the mummy.

As if that wasn't sick enough, he then kissed her. I remember his crusty nose touching her face and how sickening that looked. I was recalling that moment after I was home and in bed and suddenly vomited! LOL!

Me too! Class of 85! Yay!:thumbsup

[Sheltiedad]

This thread is interesting... in Kansas we were not allowed to play video games because it might get back to the gestapo...

But I had a secondary thought... I wonder how many people who are rigid ultra-cons now, were wild and crazy at some point in their life -either not growing up in church or "backsliding" and then returning (like off the deep-end wild) and then moved back to an ultra-con position later in life. I see a lot of people who talk about all the wild rock and roll things they did back in the day but are conservative now (not pressing-on... and not just on this thread. lol). And some of us who seem to be able to control our impulses have never went that far off the deep-end in the first place so do not see the necessity of all of the extra rules.

[becky123abc]

I remember the first Atari game where it was two lines on either side that went up and down and "ball" that you tried to hit to the other side.

[MrsMcD]

One of mine is when my mom bought me a hand held Atari game called Galaga for Christmas. I was probably 12 at the time. It looked like a mini arcade console, and had a tiny joystick. The screen was black and the graphics were in red and yellow only.

I wore that thing out in no time. Does anyone here remember the Atari game where you shot the big blobs out of the sky?

Gee, I hate to admit that I remember the Atari. LOL You could have gone back to the sixties and I wouldn't have been born yet.

My favorite 70s memory: leaving the 70s behind! :D

No, my favorite 70s memory doesn't really have to do with that decade even though the event took place then. My favorite 70s memory (okay, two memories) is when I first came to Christ through the ministry of The 700 Club in December 1976 and when I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost through the ministry of The 700 Club in early November 1977 (in the days before Pat Robertson got involved in the dominion theology heresy).

The missionary couple I met in Sasebo, Japan. Spending some time with Youth With a Mission during a port visit to Hong Kong.

okay, what were the "cool words" for the decades?

I remember being in school that it was "Word" & "Word Up" seems like recall something like they would say "Bipp" ... "Totally" "Dude" was everyones' name. "cool".. "Cool" seems to have stuck around for a long time....

But before that, there was, "righteous" "groovy" and what others? I think that might have more of the 60's....

[Sheltiedad]

I still use Dude, cool, skanky, gnarly, and righteous (probably missing a few).

I cannot say Snap though... white people have to be saying something for like 5 years before I pick it up. lol.

I feel the same way about the word "Bull"...

although I do use some colorful language because I appreciate the more creative aspect of it, I don't see how the societal impact of certain words is established... especially when it varies from one city in the US to another as to what is appropriate and what is not.

What's funny now is that my 18 year old son just bought a turntable and is buying "vinyls" that are just record albums to me. But he thinks they're ultra cool!

The first stereo I ever purchased was a Monteverdi (I have no idea why i still remember that name) 8 track/record player/radio.

We had Lanny Wolfe 8 tracks... I remember Jimmy Swaggart... probably an Elvis gospel 8 track.

There's no telling... that was a good while back.

[nathan_slatter]

As a kid I think we had a Teddy Huffam and the Gems 8 track -- maybe even a Mighty Clouds of Joy 8 track. We definitely had some Jerry Clower 8 track.

We had our wedding recorded on 8-track because I didn't trust the new fangled cassett tapes.

Years later, I wanted to transfer the ceremony to a cassett and couldn't find an 8-track player to make that happen.

Asteroids software simulation was a fabulous visual demonstration of the foundational physical law...."every action having an equal an opposite reaction" and the principles of conservation of momentum were also made readily apparent! I think I actually appreciated physics in college so much more because of my enjoyment of Asteroids (including that sweet, low frequency sound when you fired your thrusters).

Ah yes....
many a quarter was given in support of shooting white dots in an effort to explode other jagged dots, all the while dodging those pesky little space ships that just kept getting smaller and faster.


My best seventies memory was the culmination of the build-up to the bi-centenial celebration in Philly. As area residents, me and my friends walked across the Ben Franklin Bridge on July 4th, 1976 (NJ toward Philly) in some imagined reliving of coming to Philadelphia for the signing.

Bowling alleys in my town were the only place pinball machines and this new thing, these video consoles, we at.
The car racing video came out.
One any given day, you might have 8-10 folks with their quarters on the console (yet somehow everybody knew which quarter theirs was in the order:thumbsup ).

My brother and I were avid competitors in that game and 'skittle bowl'. We would keep any quarters to play that driving game. NOte: In thinking back now, I should have considered the scary power that virtual reality has over males in general, young males specifically!

PP, I was very GOOD at that game thanks to a considerable investment (I had a job, I was rich!). It was some kind of adrenline rush when you just had the pedal down and were dodging by making all those abrupt maneuvers (and a good crowd was standing behind you).

Somehow, my mom was able to record over an "Eric Clapton and the Animals" 8-track, but it didn't completely take, or the recording wasn't long enough to cover it completely.

Was strange to listen to Howard and Vesta for about 3/4 of the tape and this other guy, who was unknown to most in the 70's....LOL!

Where she got that 8 track I don't know. I never did ask either.

My mom still has her 8 tracks, hoping they will make a comeback someday......:D

Grand Prix's were so cool. My first finance bought a new Trans Am when they came out. Loved that car too!

[Ferd]

My first car was a 79 Grand Prix. I would armor all the vinyl back seat so that it would be really slick. Then I would let my best friend and his sweetie drive so that me and my girl could sit in back. I told him to take the curves sharply so that she would slide all the way over to me.


HAHA!!

my first car was a 1980 Mustang. but dont think it was a cool car. not by a long shot. it was a 4 cylinder that would actully slow down when you hit the gas. the lining in the overhead was falling down and I had to tack it up with thumtacks.

so un cool.

Candy cigarettes!! Those were cool....unless my mom was looking!

Cars and the seventies....ouch, this topic is a little more painful memories.

My high school allowed seniors to take five courses in the morning and then leave at noon. This option took the school bus option off the table. Car pools became a best alternative choice.

My car pool was with 3 other guys:
1. Larry; a 68 Cadilac coup-de-ville convertable, he hand brush painted it yellow. It rocked.
2. John; first in our peer group to have a Ford van custom conversions with wood framing for a bed and ofcourse, shag carpetted walls.
3. Eric had his parents Vista Cruiser with the sky lights on the side of the way back seat.
4. I had my grandmom's (she lived with us) 64 Falcon with a metal dash board that would split your forehead like a ripe mellon if the two every made contact. That Falcon was automotive humble pie but compared to walking, it was a much needed option.

My dad had a Chevy Impala. He let me splice into the radio wiring to install my first FM converter so my friends and I could listen to the cool radio stations. What a patient dad, I don't think the front speakers ever quite worked the same unless you had the balance set to the left speaker and the fader set to the back!:nod

My first car was a 1968 Rambler, then I had a 1974 Ford Currier truck, then a subaru, THEN>>>>> A 1965 GTO. Man that car was awesome...I had to get rid of it because I couldn't keep a transmission in it for some reason.

If I were ever to have $25k disposable I would find me a cherry 1965 Goat and drive it out on dates with my wife...woa!!!

It was only the grace of God that as a young and dumb fifth grader, me and a friend had the contest to see who could hold more "Giant Pixie Sticks" content in our mouth and then actually swallow.

Tamor,
I forgot about that too! Of course we had to hunt for them. My parents wouldn't allow us to keep candy or cokes or ice cream in the house.

When I babysat in High School there was one family that had a large jar of candy on the counter. I wondered why the kids didn't eat it all! It occurred to me that they were used to having it around. lol!

Hey Tamor, until I was 12 we lived in the Kuntry on my grandparents farm. It was right on the Ark/Mo line. Our community had a post office and an honest to goodness old timey general store.

We used to walk down the gravel road to the store and trade in our sodypop bottles for candy money. Sheer heaven!

There was a low water bridge we used to stop at on the way back. We would roll up our pants legs and wade in the creek to cool off in the summer. I could tell stories about my grandparents farm forever!

PP,
You reminded me of when we had the bright idea to ride horses and steal some watermelons. My dad had 500 acres of them, but we didn't want his!

We tied up the horses, crawled down a row at a neighbors field, grabbed a melon, pushed it back up the row, got on the horses, jumped a creek and went back to the farm. Cut it open and it wasn't even ripe.

We told our father years later. He laughed his head off.

We used to do the same thing at the golf course. We would go get the balls that they guys hit across the street, take them into the club office and they would buy them back from us for practically pennies. Then we would hit the vending macines at the club. We would sit by the pool and eat and pretend that we were members of the golf course, when of course none of us were!!
