Kick the can in my youth was finding a can on the street while waiting for the city bus to take us to school. Crush the can into a puck, and try to hit the others with a kick.Get hit, you're out until only one remains. There was pain involved. The year of the Twilight zone episode is one yr off.
 
We played normal kick the can when I was a kid. One thing that was fun to do with cans was stomp down the middle with the arch of your foot. The can would bend and clamp to your foot, and you could clack clack clack around the house. Worked better with steel cans.
 
I just turned 80. My first experience with TV mid-1950's was when we visited my grandparents in Toronto, ON, who had a tabletop Admiral B&W TV about 17". We (me and cousins) would spend entire Saturday mornings watching cartoons on TV from Buffalo, NY.

Dude…pogs were NEVER “cool.” But I remember when pogs were the actual cap in milk bottles…

Then after we took the cans off our shoes we would put the baseball card on our bikes with a clothes pin so it would hit up against the spokes and make the clicky sound.

The yellow is cigarette smoke.

Man. Our old smoking room (at a hospital) was great as a smoker. If you ran out of fags you could go in there and just take a few deep breaths and be fine for 20 minutes!
They used to wash the walls every few months. Totally yellow again in a couple of weeks!
 
Halfway to 90 as of last Sunday.

I share a birthday with Obama. He was born at 7:24pm in Hawaii. I was born at 10:29pm in California. He's 18 years and 5 minutes older than me.

May be silly but gotta protect the grey matter. Of my 3 wrecks, the helmet kept me out of the hospital or worse on 2 of them.

I feel like my kids wouldn't listen to me about wearing bike helmets if I didn't wear one, and I really want them to wear them without thinking about it!
Also my wife came off her bike in the frost and landed hard enough to crack the back of her helmet open! Pretty sure she'd have had a life changing injury if she hadn't been wearing one!

I look ridiculous normally so a helmet doesn't make that much difference!
 
I remember when Garanimals came out, sold exclusively through Treasure Island. For the first time, men could shop for clothing with confidence.
