i've found the fountain of youth

[unclej]

ok, maybe not really the fountain of youth but i was in the check out line at a store last night and in the counter right beside me was a candy bar that i didn't even know they still made. i'm not making this up. it's called a big hunk. more completely it's called annabelle's big hunk. really. they're a chewy nougat with peanuts. i bought three of them and when i got to the car i opened one, broke off a bite and when i put it in my mouth i was ten years old sitting in a movie theatre watching the lone ranger or batman or the green hornet. man, that's close enough to the fountain of youth for me.

what triggers you into a nostalgic moment?

lol Annabelle's Big Hunk



have you written another story....No. 3.....yet, unclej?

 

[marksgirl]

Nestle's Crunch, reminds me of the drive-in-movies. My dad always got me one and a coke. Ahhh the good ol days!

Legos. I pause every time I pass by a new set in the store.

*happy thoughts*

 

[unclej]

no i haven't ginny. and by the way, it's good to hear from you. i've been busy writing songs and building bluesboy2 a guitar and my story writing muse has temporarily abandoned me. but i have been rolling a couple of ideas around for some serious porn.

man, i miss drive in's. the last one i went to was right there in dallas off of central if i remember correctly. somewhere north of park lane. but that was about a hundered years ago.

Nehi Grape Soda.

or a 6 oz. Coca Cola filled with a bag of salted peanuts.

 

[unclej]

hello mishka...how have you been. i'm afraid leggos were a little after my childhood but i was working on a deck last week and was thinking how playing with tinker toys and erector sets as a child probably gave me some basic structural skills.

The old drive that was on Central was just south what is now LBJ Freeway. At first it was turned into a consignment auto sales lot, then, it was turned into a parking lot for the airport shuttle about 20 years ago. Later, the screens were taken down.

I don't know what's there now, but I miss that place too.

 

[unclej]

hey texan...i remember moving to abbott texas from california when i was 12 and the first time i had peanuts in a soda. it was a rc cola. thought it was stupid until i tried it. i still do it occasionally and it's still just as good. had my first moon pie back then also.

 

[unclej]

you're exactly right texan. i knew it was up there someplace. i haven't got a clue where anything is there any more. i worked for years in the cambell center or fina plaza some called it. anyway it was the two gold towers on central. i left dallas 10-11 years ago and when i went back up there for the first time last christmas i didn't recognize anything.

Plasticine always reminds me of being a kid as does peanut rings.

Are there many drive in's left anymore I was kinda hoping to go to one when I come over to visit.

 

[acitore_vuli]

Playing the drums makes me feel young.

I don't know if they make them anymore but those kid-sized dixie cups. First thing that came to mind. We used to keep a stack in the bathroom.

I'm sure a real cup would have done the job. What a waste now that I look back. I bet they spawned the chain of products that led to pre-cut and packaged carrot sticks.

What was the question...

 

[Olivianna]

Elmer's Glue Paste.

 

[acitore_vuli]

Elmer's Glue Paste.

Ummmmm, aren't you supposed to be insulting me?

 

[Minkey Boodle]

Some believe that the saliva of the swiftlet bird is fountain of youthish. Appetizing!

 

[marksgirl]

Bumping for ya baby!

 

[Cibo]

Ritz crackers and peanut butter sandwiches...

They remind me of the late nights grandpa let me stay up and eat them with him.

 

[#1tankcomander]

Pop rocks and coke!

 

[Feelin' Naughty]

a 6 oz. Coca Cola filled with a bag of salted peanuts.

You beat me to it Texan, but I must specify a glass bottle. Plastic just isn't the same.

 

[Wiggles]

When I find those little squeeze tubes of blowable tacky stuff in the bubblegum dispensers. It makes a pretty cool bubble, and it makes great fake snot balls after they get popped.

You can download old Nintendo games and play them on your computer now.

I spent most of the day playing Super Mario Brothers 3. I should do it more often; I felt so much like a nine-year old I went about six hours without a cigarette and didn't even blink.
