Hey TubaTooter and Ozymandias,

  Those were great, I just about cracked a rib laughing at those, sad thing is, I fit the bill on most of those.

Hi Everyone,

  Having been a member for over a year now, and hearing bits and pieces about Per, it set me to wondering about him, since we all owe him so much for his founding of this site and the work he obviously puts it to the site. I think I read today he was actually from Norway, is that correct? We know so little else about him. I was just curious about knowing more about him, does he play guitar? What kind of music? His Age, so on and so for, maybe Per himself could answer. Anyway, I'd personally like to thank him as well as the Moderaters for all their hard work and time, thanks guys!

Someone else recently had ask the question about who the first 10 members where on Chordie, without much response, so I was wondering how long everyone had been a member. I've been a member a much shorter time than a lot of members here, I've been on since March 23 2008 I think it is., How long has everyone else been a member?

Topdown,  Sorry to have to be the one to break it to you, but I'd said those socks and sneakers qualify you.

Badeye, I remember the ball cards in the bicycle spokes, loved that sound, even though I still have thousands upon thousands of ball cards

Anyone's Mother use to cook with a pressure cooker, looked like something from a science fiction movie. I guess a few people still use those.

What about old cartoons"Top Cat" "Johnny Quest" "Mighty Mouse" or old TV shows like the old "Authur Smith Show" "Lost In Space" "Dialing for Dollars"

PS, This is a great thread, sure brings back memories

I remember my Dad had an old 47 studebaker, it looked like a torpedo coming down the road, then, after that he had a push button automatic Plymouth 53 model I think it was.\

GSE...There is still a gas station in the town nearest me that still pumps your gas, he's an elderly gentleman, wears a sharp uniform with a bow tie, really nice guy!

Maybe they're in the same place that lost sock ends up, or where you lost your keys, or maybe where you can't find your wallet! I've found in life that it's always in the last place you look, funny how that happens, if we could just look there first!

Anyone remember Sinclair gasoline, Grit Newspaper, playing marbles,being able to see the Milky way on a clear night, 3 channels on a television"if you lived in the right place and had a good antenna" records on a 45 speed, dial up phones with the hole for your fingers, and party lines for the phone, ringer type washing machines. no neighbors! when kids said yes Maam and no Maam and Thank You. getting paddled in school, when kids could look up to ball players as role models.. I could keep going but you get the point, I'm old enough to be a geezer.

Doug_Smith,

  I wish the people I worked with would only use it for 20 minutes, I've seen them on it texting for 2 hours straight, laughing out loud, ignoring work altogether, holding people up. I think texting is fine, really I do, but in the work place, at least at my job, people abuse it, it's personal calls, texting, nothing business related, it get's on my nerves!

Well I also had that experience too! I have my acoustic, and teaching myself, my beautiful sweet wife set through my learning"to the point that I have" without complaining once. Sometime back I kinda, sorta, let on that I really wanted an electric guitar, as soon as I mentioned it, she said "go get it, you deserve it" I went that day to the Guitar Center and bought myself an Epiphone. She is the greatest, she's beautiful, very loving, and even sweeter than that, I'm not a man with much money, but at the same time, because of her, I feel like a rich man. So I agree with Bensonp, I'm sure others wives deserve credit!

PS Zurf, sounds as if you have a great wife to, go get the guitar!

I have a cell phone, never use it, I've never text a message or recieved one, don't care to. I understand that cell phones are considered a necessity these days for different reasons, I get that, however where I work, it's just completely out of control, these people will not let work get in the way of their talking or texting, you wind up having to work around, through, or just bypass them all together. The ringtones drive me up a wall, just a get a normal ring. I also think it's rude to use while having dinner, or when talking to someone else. We have become an addicted society to cell phones and manufacture reasons to use it when the call means nothing at all, and don't get me started about driving and talking on the phone....ok ok, I feel better now, I just needed to get that off my chest, I'll be fine now.

Kap,
It's always been my understanding that Basketball was invented in Springfield Massachusetts at a local YMCA, although the inventor James Nasmith was orignally from Almonte Ontario Canada

Anyone ever heard of Roy D Mercer, He works with a couple of DJ's out of Tulsa Oklahoma, people call him with a little information about one of thier friends, then he calls them up with a prank phone call as a joke, it's great stuff, give it a listen.
