And it was fun to light the end of the roll and watch each one pop when the flame hit it. On the Johnny Seven OMA, the grenade had a metal cap on it that you would lift up and put a cap under it. When it hit the "target" it would pop.

~ Have you ever owned a 'black light'? No
~ How about a 'lava lamp'? No
~ Posters for your wall that you had wayyy long ago: Had maps on my wall near my bed. After I watched the news, which was usually about the Vietnam war, I would stand on my bed to find the names of the places on the map. Also did that when the President traveled. The only other thing I had on my wall was when I was 15. My then boyfriend drew a picture for me.
~ Other things related to the late 1960s: I graduated in 1969. That's the year of Woodstock and putting the first man on the moon (actually 2 of 3 men walked on it). Robert Kennedy and Dr King were both assassinated in 1968. Summer of Love was in 1967. Our TV only had 13 channels and UHF and they played the National Anthem when stations shut down for the night. In the late 1960s I had 4 jobs at different times at Grants, Macys, some factory where they shipped women's irregular clothes as a summer job and a part time job during my first semester at college (end of 1969) in DC at a company that supposedly did insurance investigations of people including some famous ones but which I think was a front for the CIA or FBI because of the government men who used to have "special sessions" with the boss and wanted to see our files in a closed room all of the time. I liked poor boy shirts with miniskirts (not too short or the vice principal would rip the hems down and call your mother) for school. Watching The Prisoner on TV one summer and had fave TV shows like Combat, The Outer Limits, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Avengers, Garrison's Gorillas, The Legend of Jesse James and Hullabaloo. Was a big Yankee fan when they weren't that great of a team. Read a lot of baseball biographies, science fiction, Agatha Christie and spy novels (which was big in those days - spy anything).
~ Outdoor concerts/festivals that you ever been to: Herman's Hermits, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Diamond, The Rolling Stones, Charlie Daniels Band, Los Lobos, The Association, The Who, Gary Puckett, ZZ Top, Sha Na Na and some I can't remember. Neil Diamond put on the best show.

~ Did you have a portable cassette player/recorder? I think so because I remember when the tape in the cassettes got all messed up but I don't remember the actual player.
~ How about 8-track tapes? No. Parents had that.
~ Have you ever seen Tiny Tim and Miss Vicki on TV? Saw them on TV when they got married.
~ Anyone remember Moms Mabley? Yes.
~ Remember Shake a Pudding? No.

~ Have you had acorn fights, dirtbomb fights or fruit off the tree fights? No, just snowball fights.
~ Ever play army fights with sticks and stuff? No
~ How about go berry picking? No
~ Some of the animal creatures you remember from when you were much younger: Same as the ones I see now. Don't think anything has gone extinct since the 1950s. Bald eagles now are as common as robins. The animals I saw at the Petting Zoo, I still see today on farms.
~ Did you have an ice cream man in the summer? 3 - Bungalow Bar, Mr. Softee and Good Humor
What things were your favorites? creamsicles, ice cream sandwiches
Did you used to buy 'caps'? (For a cap gun or just to hit on the concrete porch to make them xplode...bang! Yes. Had a cap gun and used to hit them with a rock in the playground. They were on a red roll.
Did you ever bang the entire roll all at once? Don't remember but don't think so.
**** I wish I could see you all over the holidays...Love and happiness, peace to you all! ****
Merry Christmas to anyone who won't be on the QOTD Christmas Eve or Christmas Day!
