You know were a 70s kid when:

You know any lyric from H.R. Puff n' Stuff
Speed Racer was the man ...
You knew that walking the dog dealt with yo yos and no dogs were actually involved
Legos were the latest rage
You ever wanted to have tang
You wondered why Luke and Bo Duke didn't get the car door fixed
You were grateful that no one every shot Wonder Woman more than twice (one for each gold bracelet)
Two words: Lite Brite.

You know you're a 70's kid (well, I was a teen) when nothing phases you.

Cause, well, you were pretty much part of the pioneers for most of it.

YOU were already a teen in the 70's! Wow. What was that like?








One of my favorite things of the '70s . . . Little House on the Prairie (the T.V. series) started in 1974. I had grown up reading her books and was super exicited about it's television debut.

I graduated HS in 1976. The 70's Show on TV - as dorky as it is and all that...pretty much says it all for many of us. I know there are people out there that completely disagree but seriously...they are the minority.

The 70's fashions are coming back and they are just as tacky now as they were then. I was not a disco fan at all and completely went the other way when that broke loose.

Much of the TV I watched in the 70's was an episode here and there of a cop show my dad watched. I spent most of my time moping around, reading depressing poetry and listening to obscure music.

Class of '78 here...

Let us not forget having only one tv per house
Having to get up and walk to the tv to change the channel
NO personal computers

"breaker one-nine, wintery rider here, got any bears?"

No video games until pong and then asteroids on atari showed up a couple years after the seventies I think--so we had actual ping pong and bumper pool

comics, walking around town without getting attacked and 32 oz cokes were big

early seventies you could find glass coke bottles on the roadside and get 10 cents refund at the grocery store

a dollar would get me a can of RC cola, a bag of corn chips or *gasp* fried pork skins, a couple of comic 3-packs with the covers ripped off and couple of pieces of green apple bubble gum

The nostalgia is getting to me....

There was a game arcade on the strip...with a desktop pacman. Placing your quarter on the table meant you called the next game.
