The mail order music service. What was it, BMG?

Sign up, buy 1 CD, get 10 for $10. They automatically mailed you a different random CD each month and if you didn't return it, they'd charge you full price.

Capital Music Buy 10 for (iirc) $1. then pick 1 per month for the usual price of $6-10 depending on a sincle or double album.

Record Albums, 45's with always looking for the lesher. That's after the phonograph no longer came with the large diameter center piece where you could stack a 1/2 doz 45's in a row.

Call me sometime, Stag.

Getting hit by a teacher in school, or one of the neighbors dragging you home for some discipline if caught

I remember getting "paddled" in school on more than one occasion. And I remember the community ass beating I'd get when a friend's parent or a neighbor caught me doing something I wasn't supposed to be doing: that person would beat my ass, then my parents would get home at different times and I'd get another ass-whooping when each of them arrived.


Remember riding your bike thru the mosquito foggers?

The last time I got paddled I was in ninth grade. Fifteen years old and pretty much full grown. My English teacher hit me so hard she sprained her wrist.

I also doubt anyone much younger than me will remember when they desegregated the schools.

Making a collect call from a payphone, but instead of saying your name, saying "come pick me up" so your parents didn't have to accept the call and get charged.
