Well, except you beat me out of the womb by two years. I'll have to start calling you BrotherO
1. Read every Mad Magazine issue as it came into my dad's grocery store until I was 14 and he sold to Circle K. (He then went into the licquor business). Gotta love Spy vs. Spy!!! Archie Comics, too. and every Ripley's Believe it or Not book. Several times on those.
2. My best friend in HS was in love with every Gilligan's Island episode. Back in the day of 5 TV channels, we watched reruns every afternoon when we didn't have some sports practice.
3. WW II aircraft were my modeling speciaty. B-17's, P-51's, German jets.....Even painted the little pilots and ground crew. A labor of love.
4. Baseball cards? Still have a bunch. Somehow boys are missing out today. I can't imagine summer without baseball cards and powdery bubble gum.
5. I had a Rat Fink t-shirt at some point.
6. I had the classic Hot Wheels racer inspired (I'm sure) by that Diggy Daddy Roth rod. Well, that one was my brothers....but he was my little brother so I could beat him up and take it if I really wanted. So it was sort of mine.
7. APBA Baseball, Golf, Basketball, and Horseracing. SI Football. Electric Football. A million hours of joy. Pokemon....Bah!!
8. Thanks for brightening up my day.
