Retroland memory of the day 'Ditto Paper'

Source: www.retroland.com
I remember when I was in some of the older grades, maybe 6th or 7th, we'd have projects in which we had to go to the mimeograph room and run off some sheets of something or other on ditto paper. That ##!*& purple ink wouldn't wash off your fingers for at least two weeks!

The most popular cartoon character of all time. For me, my Mickey Mouse toys were basically a way to remind my self of the holy grail - a trip to Disneyworld, every kids dream.

Retroland memory of the day 'Queen'

Source: www.retroland.com
The first album I ever owned was a copy of Queen's "News Of The World" from 1978 that a childhood friend, who was so much cooler than me, gave me. Almost every song on the album is a classic and I played that thing to death. An incredibly talented band that was so diverse, dipping into and bending s...

I remember these were quite popular at my elementary school, there were a lot of designs to choose, from cute cartoon animals, dinosaurs, glitter, stars, robots and outer space, motorcycles and racing cars, sea life, jungle and much much more. I went to great lengths trying not to lose the spare ti...

Retroland memory of the day 'Field Trips'

Source: www.retroland.com
When our school was overcrowded, half of my first grade class got to go to the zoo and the other half (with me in it) had to go to the Mrs. Bairds Bread factory. It was the worst field trip ever.

I would have preferred the bread factory. I have always loved seeing how things are made and besides, the smell of the bread factory HAS to be at least 1,000 times better than the smell of the zoo! :)

HEEYYY Boo Boo! I liked when Yogi said that. His constant blunders and his fascination for lunch baskets makes this show an oldies but goodies.

Always funny and amusing, even now. There's not one bad thing to say about this show. It was greatness, it was perfection, it was like nothing you have ever seen before. Jim Henson has and always will be my #1 inspiration in life. He not only impacted me with the Muppets, but also his fantasy film w...

There will never be a show like the original Muppet Show! This particular Retrolander watched it religiously during the original run.

This is among the first movies I can still remember being taken to a theater to see. I've been a lifelong Peanuts fan, and I'm sure I enjoyed the experience of watching the gang on the big screen. I know that, upon seeing Snoopy twanging away on the "jaw harp," I wanted one for myself. My folks com...
