Seeing one of these things in operation on someone who really needed to lose some weight was not a site for the faint-hearted. For those of you too young to have seen one of these things being used, count yourself lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TV ads always showed a cute little thing though, with nothing jiggling that shouldn't be jiggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted September 4, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted September 4, 2017 Who remembers when utility poles were EVERYWHERE? There are still a lot of them, granted, but not like they were forty or fifty or more years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He nodded in all the right places, but I don't think he got it. How could he, with all the cool tech this generation has been raised with? Catalogs for Sears and the others used to get thumbed through till they fell apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Eric Posted September 4, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted September 4, 2017 1 minute ago, Rabbi said: When this was a dream I had an electric car track that I got for Christmas in 1977 or 1978, that had cars that could back up. It didn't use slots on the track. The cars could change lanes and reverse. There were sidings on the track where they little trucks pulling trailers could back in. It had a pit area and other cool features. I can't for the life of me remember what the name of it was, but it was a damned cool track. I got a lot of use out of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
