Some of these were real NOTA candidates (#7) while for a couple of them. I remember exactly what I *did* buy.
1. Star Wars Action Figures - Duh!
2. Trivial Pursuit - Been aplayer for decades.
3. Keds - Aren't they the only company that makes tennis shoes?
4. Pager - That one's a LONG story
5. Windbreakers - least offensive option on the list
6. The Legend of Zelda - My son's a Zeldaa nut. Inherited it from his mother.
7. NOTA. Marked Whitney Houston - Meh - don't really care
8. Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark - First movie I ever bought on VHS
9. NOTA. Marked Jane Fonda Workout Videos - Nice to look at at least
10. Spirograph - Doesn't this make charts about Agnew?
11. "IT" - I knew these people. I went to school with these people.
12. Nerf Guns - Everything else is like... exercise... (ugh!)

I got 60 percent. There were some questions that didn't have a choice I would have made like the book. I said Stephen King, but I don't read fiction.

As a kid, these hands could handle Operation. I'm not sure I'd be able to get through the game without a little shaky hand.
All these things were so cool, nowadays kids only want cellphones, which are really mini-computers that have a phone built in.
Speaking of phones, I liked the flip phones, made me feel like Captain Kirk.
But as they say, you can't go back!

I want a time machine! ☺️
I'll send you the phone number of a guy who has one, Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman.
If he says he'll sell the WAYBACK machine for $2100 cash, give him $300, he'll think
its the same, it's like the Dog Years thing where you multiply by 7.

🤣 Love it!
Hi Mike, some of my comments are showing up, but some aren't, so I just reposted my above reply. I guess the MeTV app is a little wonky tonight.
I thought it was me, when some recent comments didn't post. Also, its now been YEARS
that the problem of our posts appearing twice first started, but its never been fixed.
