    Blast from the Past pics

    I debated on which Forum to start this thread in. This one seems to be the place where Plaid Stallions posts fashion mockery and other classic toys and stuff... so this seems to be the best place for it. The awesome classic pics in those threads inspired me to do this. My mother recently dug a couple boxes of old pics out of her closet for me to go through. I spent several hours pouring them over looking for cool ones to share with ya'll here. I came up with some good ones . I bought a scanner this past weekend and have began the process of getting these wonderful bits of history from my childhood archived in electronic format.

    Please, feel free to poke fun at the pics and laugh along with me as there are many that fit in the "fashion mockery" category . Some of them are just plain cool. Anyway, let's get on with it. Here's my first entry. I figured i would start out with one of the best to get some conversation going and hopefully keep ya'll coming back for more.



    This is from a trip to Universal Studios in the mid-seventies. I have no idea who the lady in the background is. That's me being choked out by the Phantom of the Opera . My brother and i are sporting our matching Fonzie t-shirts. I was wishing i had this one scanned and ready to go for the Halloween/Monster picture contest thing that PS did last year on that blog........ maybe i can enter it next year .

            That is way cool. That Frankenstein costume is really good. That must have been a lot of fun.
            You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                  Thanks for all the comments everyone. I just noticed..... that watch i'm wearing in the pic is my old Mickey Mouse watch i'm almost sure. I still have it too... even though the band is now missing.

                  I think this is going to be a very fun thread... i know it will be for me at least. More to come .

                        Very cool. Your brother has the slight look of "Don't crush my head, Frankenstein"
                        It's all good!

                          Once again, thanks for all the comments.... i'm glad ya'll like the pics. Let's get on with today's entry.



                          First day of school 1975. Of course the highlight of this pic is my Planet of the Apes lunchbox! Despite my inner joy of getting to carry lunch to school in the coolest lunchbox of all time...... my brother does appear to be a lot more excited for the first day of school than me . Of all the things i still have from my childhood, sadly i have not come across this wonderful piece of history in any of my stuff . I must hunt down another one some day. As cool as the lunchbox is let's not overlook (and i'm sure you couldn't if you wanted to) my little brother's pants..... gotta love the plaid bro .

                              I like the matching shoes. I had a blue pair of tennis shoes when I was a kid, too. I believe they were from buster brown.
                              It's all good!
