I'm sorry, but the comment period for this entry has ended.

Davey and Goliath are grand finds.  I was hot for Gumby, myself.

An example of Goliath’s ears can be seen in this historic clip.

Bobbleheads are a weird pleasure.  I have a Joey Ramone one that’s all broken and in a drawer, and I miss it.

We weren’t allowed to play with “Luthern” toys.

I much preferred the hula girls of the 50’s; they were so promiscuous and provacative, bobbing around on the back deck of our overly-large, futuristic sedans.

norbiz beat me to it - but I’ve been too busy to blog-surf this week… I saw just the top quarter of the image and instantly went back at least 30 years and heard a voice say, “but Daaaaveey....”
