Sorry, "Jumped the shark"?

xBullx,

Please, meet another one of my occasionally adopted families.
 
When I wasn’t visiting them out on “The Ponderosa”, by observance through a box, any bicycle could quickly be transform into a trusty stead, and I was there.
 
Then there was the “horse” my brother, who wasn’t always mean, constructed, by tying the seat from his old, green “banana seat” bike, onto a stack of saw horses. Get it; saw “horse”? [:)] He was cleaver, too.
 
Otherwise, there are plenty of huge boulders near my parent’s house, any one of them made a great dinosaur.

I used to love Laverne and Shirley. Laverne was kind of an idol while I viewed Shirley as a whimp a lot of the time.


I held back from saying it. I wonder if "Boo Boo Kitty" had anything to do with it?
 
There was one thing about Shirley I've got to give her credit for tho; "Just what makes that little ol' ant, think it can move that rubber tree plant?..."
 
Lenny held potential, but followed Squiggy too much, and Squiggy, I just wanted to slap much of the time. I had anger issues. lol

Try DeKalb county AL. If that isn't rural poor appalachia enough for you there are some even more remote spots along the Virginia/West Virginia line.

It is a nice common ground. [:)]
 
There is a movie I love,  I can't think of the name right now, same theme and some of the same people.
 
They just seem so young/inocent and care free.

"Jumped the Shark" TV speak for "something has reached it's peak, and is on it's way down, and probably out." Alluding to an episode of "Happy Days" where the Fonz jumps his motorcycle over a shark tank on the TV show "You Wanted To See It." It was the peak of that show's popularity, being the #1 ratings draw that week. The show never came that close again, and was gone from production the next season.

Me... Star Trek and Addams Family. Star Trek for the dreams of where I wanted to go, and Addams Family because for some reason, I could identify with a group of dark characters that didn't quite fit in, but seemed to love each other and have fun....

Actually, it does....Schuyler and Scottsville Virginia, where Earl Hamner grew up, were pretty unchanged for a long time...now Scottsville ( complete with the Dew Drop Inn) has been partially yuppified, but it is still out in the boonies.  You can just get an esspresso to go with your yards of copper tubing and bags of sugar...[;)]



charmdpetKeira -> RE: The dreams I grew up on (3/10/2008 7:54:02 PM)

Thank you for the clarification, Bipolarber.
 
The explanation speaks loads. 
 
The Addams Family was another favorite of mine, also. I loved the irony of the “scary” being afraid of the “normal”.
 
As for Star Trek, I know I would have gotten right into it as a kid, as an adult, I can appreciate it. :)

that's pretty funny actually. if/when i come back to the states for a while, virginia is one of the places i'm looking at. but do these places make you live there for 20 generations before you're considered one of the townfolk?

what i'm REALLY hankering for these days, is a family diner.



LilMissHaven -> RE: The dreams I grew up on (3/11/2008 4:18:06 AM)

We weren't allowed much tv growing up, my parents had this philosophy that it would rot our minds and bodies.  But, as kids will we found out that our dad had a weakness for John Wayne ~grins~ so I grew up half in love with John Wayne and everytime he'd throw one of those little vixens over his knee for a spanking even at a young age my mind would be screaming...

Ya baby Ya!!!
