Remember when?

1. Indeed I do. I have a photograph of two of my cousins tied up in knots playing

Twister. I even have a rolling cart very similar to the one in the background.

"Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end..."

[Floyd R. Turbo]

3. I had a couple of rich friends who had basements like that.

Mine was more of a dungeon!

[Ohiogal]

2. Didn't everybody

have one of those starburst clocks and a pole lamp and wood paneling in the cellar rec room?

Twister was always a fun party game!

What music do you think they're dancing to? Beach Boys?

[hlthe2b]

5. Oh, yeah.. especially the pole lamp and the paneling (I've ALWAYS hated paneling admittedly)

[Ohiogal]

26. Me too

When I got married and moved into my husband's house, he had wood paneling around the kitchen table and I made him take it down, just hated it! It must be a guy thing!

[Floyd R. Turbo]

7. Beach Boys for sure!

19. Can anyone identify the album? NT

[Chipper Chat]

28. British invasion for sure.

Chad and Jeremy?

13. I owned that clock. It was a wedding present.

As I recall, the clock lasted longer than the marriage.

23. You used to be able to buy those clocks for a dollar or less in thrift stores.

Then rather suddenly they became collectible.

4. geez... I missed the twister at first... Looks like an episode from "My THree Sons"....

Do they still make twister?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

11. They do still make it!

[sdfernando]

6. Twister is so much more fun without clothes....just ask that Pastor! LOL /NT

[Glorfindel]

8. Oooh, you are bad , sdfernando!

That pastor was only counseling a wayward lamb from his flock.

Sadly, I never got to try playing Twister unclothed.

[sdfernando]

15. The game is still sold...you're welcome to buy one

get some friends (or strangers if you prefer) together and have a go at it.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

10. And Mazola oil! 😏

[Arkansas Granny]

14. You beat me to it.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

18. Damn Granny!

[Arkansas Granny]

20. From time to time I have to remind my kids and grandkids that I wasn't always an old woman.

[underpants]

9. Remember? We still sport that style at my house.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

12. Cool! 👍🏻

[underpants]

21. Yeah Daddio!

🕺

22. A few years back, I went to a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner at my older brother's house.

His step-daughter was there, and I got to meet her future (at the time) husband. They did get married, and they have a kid. The future husband was in his mid- to late-20s maybe. I dunno.

Anyway, he (the future husband) said, as I was leaving, that he thought it was cool that I had worn an old school ski parka. He might have said old school, or retro, or throwback; at my age, I can't recall.

Which was of course just another piece of my normal clothing, the same stuff I wear day in and day out.

I can't find an image quite like it, but it was an insulated CB ski jacket, more or less like this, but royal blue:

I see you now get those from a "clothing vault." Yeah, whatever. These guys are obviously buying these at yard sales and thrift stores, and then jacking up the price to a frightening level.

It's soooooo warm.

16. I did an image search. It came back to this:

It looks like a stock photo from forever ago.

Twister has been around since at least 1966: {edited: this is "an" original commercial. It is not necessarily "the" original commercial.}

[Floyd R. Turbo]

17. Cool!

[Skittles]

24. I remember playing Twister

but I don't remember any party I attended being that clean

[Floyd R. Turbo]

25. The adults havent left yet! 😏

[Skittles]

27. AAAAH OK yes then

I do remember

heh, did I ever tell you, my parents hired a girl from a very poor family to babysit - she literally wore a hole in the carpet dancing to my dad's Beatles records

[Floyd R. Turbo]

29. Good for her!

Not that I have anything against your carpet!
