I remember 11 of them but I certainly know about a lot more.  However, I'm totally stumped about "P.F. Flyers" and "Butch wax."  Can you "seasoned" folks enlighten a young un?

Butch Wax:  It's a hair wax that was very popular in the 40's & 50's.  

P.F. Flyers:  brand of shoes

In 1933, canvas footwear pioneer BF Goodrich patented the Posture Foundation (PF) insole, an innovation in comfort and performance, and began adding the new technology to its action shoes. Goodrich shoes with Posture Foundation became known simply as "P-F" in 1937.

Crap, I aint getting no younger I guess.  I remember 13 of them.  I never thought I would even see the words S&H Greenstamps, and the metal ice tray with the levers was just a torture device sold to the masses, I swear it was a government conspiricy, LOL.

I guess I should add I had and still have, thought not here in OK with me, 45 RPM records.  Anyone remember the songs "Down in the Boondocks", "Pretty Little Angle Eyes", "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dotted Bikini"?  I think most were before I was born, but I had them on 45 RPM and played the heck out of them growing up.

I got a phonograph one year for Christmas and then my mom proceeded to torture me on nearly a daily basis with Captain and Tenille.   Arrrrrrg, that drove me batty.  Please mom, stop the world, I want to get off, LOL.

All of them.... That's a newsflash?
How about the 45rpm player installed as a factory option. Damned bumps.LOL.
Hell, I still go to a drive in every year, best way to watch a flick.
Know why they were called flicks?

Well I can say I 'know' the answer, but if I had to guess I would say it was due to the 'flickering' of the film as it played.
