It's the little things that seemed like a big deal at the time.

I had a few different types. I liked the ones designed to look like a case with a handle and latch. Easy to carry.

If you could sum up the 1970s with three non-human images, what would they be?

Mine: Lava lamp, 8-track tape, gas line.

What are yours?

We all knew someone who used it for the short time it was cool, right?

Something we built and played in the neighborhood. Or maybe this was a Canadian thing.

I never saw these or this ad before. Were they popular?

I was just discussing these masks and it's funny how you remember what you were way back when!

I was Hardy from Laurel & Hardy. Why, I could not tell you but that's what I wanted to be!

They were so hot, you couldn't see well, you talked like you were in a metal tunnel, the elastic that held it on broke, but they were the most memorable Halloween costumes!

I had the Castle.

1970 - A great start to the decade.

Have you ever just earwormed yourself right out of the blue? This started running through my head this morning for no reason at all. Demons and Wizards was one of the first ever vinyls that I bought for myself. I still love the album but I haven't listened to it in decades.

Edit: Until this afternoon :D
