A Test For Old Kids
February 4th, 2010 by Rodney LeeMahalo for jaydee for sending me this one:
A TEST FOR OLD KIDS
I was picky who I sent this to.. It had to be those who might actually remember. So have some fun my sharp-witted friends. This is a test for us "old kids" !
01.After the Lone Ranger saved the day and rode off into the sunset, the grateful citizens would ask, Who was that masked man? Invariably, someone would answer, I don't know, but he left this behind. What did he leave behind? ________________.
02.When the Beatles first came to the U.S. In early 1964, we all watched them on The _______________ Show..
03 "Get your kicks, __________________."
04. "The story you are about to see is true. The names have been changed to ___________________."
05. "In the jungle, the mighty jungle, ________________."
06.After the Twist, The Mashed Potato, and the Watusi, we "danced" under a stick that was lowered as low as we could go in a dance called the ' _____________.
07."Nestle's makes the very best . . . . _______________."
08.Satchmo was America's "Ambassador of Goodwill." Our parents shared this great jazz trumpet player with us. His name was _________________.
09.What takes a licking and keeps on ticking? _______________..
10.Red Skeleton's hobo character was named __________________ and Red always ended his television show by saying, "Good Night, and ____ ____ _______."
11.Some Americans who protested the Vietnam War did so by burning their______________.
12.The cute little car with the engine in the back and the trunk in the front was called the VW. What other names did it go by? ____________ & ____________.
13.In 1971, singer Don MacLean sang a song about, "the day the music died." ' This was a tribute to ___________________.
14.We can remember the first satellite placed into orbit. The Russians did it. It was called ___________________.
15.One of the big fads of the late 50's and 60's was a large plastic ring that we twirled around our waist. It was called the ______ _______.
Okay, I'm sure you all got at least 12 of the 15 correct, right? But go ahead and answer them if you'd like.
But after you answer them, leave another old time trivia question. Then the person who answers that one will leave an old time trivia question for the next poster. The topics can range from commercials, tv shows, slogans, bars, etc.
And if you're not doing anything this Saturday, stop in to Hawaiian Brian's Lounge and join me, Paula, sally, and other MLCers for Powerhouse.

beea in my ear!
There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to....___ _____ _____!"
