Our police number here in town used to be 445-9991. Hope it was never to pressing issue!

@berklion thought you were going with burning leaves after they were raked into a pile. Threw buckeyes in and the liquid on the inside would boil then explode.
I may be the Lone Ranger here, but I really enjoy the smell of burning leaves.

OL

My uncle burned his leaves and needed the fire co. to put it out one time. We had about 30 oak trees and carried the leaves off property into the woods. I did that every year for 20 years and the pile never got any bigger.
 
Beer can collections. I had 350 different cans at one time from all over the world. If we were on a back road, I would make my parents stop if I saw a can on the side of the road that I did not have. The Iron City Steelers cans were the best. I gave a good friend of mine all the Steelers cans since he is a huge fan. Threw the rest of them away.
 
I want my Maypo!

I had a Davey Crockett Indian Fighter t-shirt. I do not take responsibility. My parents bought it, and I was like 4.
 
Here's something that isn't made anymore. Stopped in 2013. This was the go to when you had a Mother who smelled your breath when you came home at night. One packet for $35 on ebay:

When we went on vacation to NY City, my mom was so embarrassed because my brother and I were looking in every garbage can we passed looking for beer cans.

TV shows after school that played cartoons.

Sally Starr: Philadelphia
Percy Platypus: Lancaster
Pete the Pirate: Baltimore

I’m not sure if you are around the Philly area but The Stoogeum is the Stooges Museum. I talked to the proprietor when I visited and he was telling me about the convention they had in Trevose on a somewhat regular basis. He was telling me that as time went on, it became harder to find people who were still alive who were associated with the show.

One of the guests at the convention was Sally Starr who appeared on many episodes.
 
Here is one that I haven't seen mentioned yet...
PUBIC HAIR!
Remember the huge beaver pelts that the Hustler centerfolds had between their thighs??? If not, here is a teaser...

Why is this the 348th response in this thread? Have you been in jail, what?
I think this fell through the cracks until my friend in the COVID-19 Work From Home Hell Group Text sent everyone a link to nicehairyvagina.com (NSFW). You'll never believe it when you get a look at the girl second from the right in the top row.
 
Here was one I was thinking of. Remember -

1- Waiting to hear who the special concert announcement was when WMMR would tease you and tell you to tune in at 11AM for the details.

And then

2- Waiting in line to buy the concert tickets at your local Ticketron. Boy, I can remember some snowy Saturday mornings at the Sears in Abington.

I remember waiting there for tickets to The Last Game at Connie Mack--later, while I was at Ogontz Campus, I worked in the auto shop for two-three years.
