Sadly, this stuff is still around, though it shouldn't be. Those tasty little crowns are shaped more like gears, and they seem designed to lodge in a toddler's throat. Surely I'm not the only kid who almost choked to death on this poor man's Captain Crunch.

Canvas pup-tents

Steel-shank hiking boots

Datsuns (even as vintage-car-spotting goes, I *never* see any of these)

decals on automobile windshields that use the word "Hott"

British Knights sneakers

Homestead CD pressings of 'The Rich Man's 8-Track Tape'

the programming language named 'LOGO'

Yakov Shmirnov

OK cola

briefly-
Providence Canyon in South Georgia
Acid
full moon
maladjusted friend
delusions of flight
80 ft. drop
sudden appearance of park ranger
quicksand/mud at the bottom of the 80 foot drop.
helicopter
remarkably (relatively) unharmed maladjusted friend

punchline:
his mom was the admitting nurse at the Emergency Room. As if falling 80 feet into quick slime/mud wasn't enough, then having to explain it to your mom whilst tripping.

Ugh.
