Childhood Memories
« on: August 20, 2010, 04:28:47 PM »
Triggered by a post from Odeon:

What do you remember from your childhood that disappointed you as an adult when you tried to re-visit it?

Off the top of my head:
bubblegum
Malt balls
barefeet
long hair
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

My brain is both uninhibited and uninhabited.

Burning litter at my grandmother's
Plums from the garden of my grandmother, they never tasted better than those.
Cows at my aunt
Playing with all kinds of colours of sand
Peering between my fingers, and find that things got red and blue colours on the side
Salmiak-powder candy
The broadleaved soft grass under our apple tree
The dread of the Bullebak
Easter-fires
The breakthrough of Rutger Hauer
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!

Nothing really comes right to mind. Still like coloring books though. They're still just as fun.

The breakthrough of Rutger Hauer
:zombiefuck: I hope finding out that Rutger had a youthful gay fling with Maynard G. Krebs doesn't fuck up watching Blade Runner or The Hitcher for me. Thanks Hyke.  :thumbdn:

Hey, was extremely exciting, Hauer was a knight, wanting to claim his castle back, and the other figure was a magician from abroad who was his bossom-friend in the fight. There was a damsel waiting for him somewhere.
This was the introduction of the persons. Hauer coming back from something like a crusade, with his friend in arms, and then on a mission to reclaim what is his.
Later parts of the series were that exciting that I hid behind the sofa to watch it. I was 4.  :lol: That was my introduction to TV, Floris.

Casinos. Definitely disappointing. I don't find it thrilling to go to some smoke-filled "boat" on a river, crammed in next to semi-drunk people and donate my money. I prefer better odds.

Vermont Maid syrup. I loved it as a child, but since then I have had REAL, 100% pure maple syrup,
so the weak, maple-flavored stuff doesn't work for me anymore!  :laugh:

I have never liked pancake syrup.  Maple syrup is infinitely superior when I can afford it.  When I can't I use honey or strawberry jam on pancakes.

I much prefer real maple syrup too.  I keep it in the refrigerator because we don't make pancakes that often.

I thought The Man From Uncle was great as a kid. I watched part of an episode on TV Land one night and it sucked.

I wonder if I'd like The Invisible Man, still.
