I’m surprised there’s not a “gender neutral” one called GI-Doe.

Or the Simpsons version, GI-Doh!

We had some "action figures" we modded 'cos, teenagers!

There was the party series. Cocaine doing army guy...GI Blow!

Then my favorite...Burnout Barbie who of course had the roach clip grip!

Great post Dankat. That TV! Sorry to hear you've lost one man, that's rough...

Not my first guitar, but the first one that was worth playing.

I dig your TV. I remember in my earliest years, we got 4 channels (with “rabbit ears”). I also remember getting our first color TV when I was in grade school. We would ooh and ahh when the peacock showed its feathers on NBC. Some years later, my buds and I would ooh and ahh at the “late night sparklies“ after all programming ended for the night. Big entertainment. We would blankly stare (in our altered state), and say things like “far out man” ala Cheech and Chong.

I used to have a letter from the local then-new UHF station with tips for how to get better reception from them. We had a roof antenna on a rotor - sometimes it seemed to take forever to get to the spot for the channel you wanted to watch. We also had four that we could watch well. One had a transmission tower near us. It was across the river from my grandmother's house, which made the signal there so strong she could get it w/o an antenna or rabbit ears.

And I'm old enough to remember when TV stations went off the air at night. When you weren't allowed to stay up that late, it was a magical thing to get to see it.

At one point we had TWO TVs. One was color that had good picture but no sound. The other was B&W that the sound worked, but the picture was off. So, we stacked them to get both picture and sound at the same time ....

I tried to get all of my children interested in music. As of now, only Azure has taken to it "well". But this was Killian's Christmas gift from me back in the year 2000. And though he is no longer with us, the memory of that day remains.

What a cool find! We had Grandma's piano (I still do) but guitars were never a part of the family music scene. Something I'm bent on changing.

These are beautiful pics, my friend.
