Nostalgia: What would your bring back from your childhood?

[VolnJC]

Nothing like watching Saturday morning cartoons. That was pretty much the only time I was indoors outside of school when young.

I also was a big fan of arcades. Spent most of the two days I was at the Knoxville World's Fair in the arcade playing Donkey Kong.

Yep...Donkey Kong, Pole Position, Pac-Man, Double Dragon and Galaga

Sitting by the UT sign looking into the stadium before they enclosed the South endzone. Of course I like the stadium being enclosed, but that was a cool vantage point.

Doh, I blame bourbon on my memory loss.

Late night HBO and Showtime movies that I wasn't supposed to be watching (but did anyway).

Oh and these

The greatest candy bar ever invented!!

The Torch restaurant at 17th & Cumberland.
Those good ol' black metal pedestal rotating fans, the ones which would run forever - quiet, effective, indestructible.

Teddy Ruxbin, so I could properly destroy it with firearms instead of taking out its batteries and hiding parts of it around the house. Saw the Twilight Zone episode where the dolls come alive and I made my move on him the next day.

Haha boy we know you like those Red Shoe Diaries

I definitely agree with Opryland. I'd also bring back real arcades, the pitch dark ones where the only light was the screens from the games.

The 90s cartoons too, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Captain N, Super Mario Bros., and all the various Disney cartoons (Ducktales, Chip N' Dales, Darkwing Duck, TailSpin, Gummi Bears).
