I never received a Nerf ® ball, though I thought they looked like a lot of fun.
Probably caused some foot trauma to my family when the little sharp light bulbs got lost in the carpet. By eminent domain, it became a dedicated Barbie neighborhood. I didn’t keep mine.😭 Image from Adobe Stock.īarbie ® - I cornered that market.
How much are Barbie dolls from the 1970’s worth? I don’t want to know. It’s the old school version of what “Wicked” did to “The Wizard of Oz.” I loved the irony of turning an old fairytale on its head. Outside of culture, I loved an imaginative story. That was the era of the Cold War, and only evil lived in Russia. Tucked into Rocky and Bullwinkle’s ® adventures were Boris and Natasha’s Russian team, the Russian no-goodniks. I apologize to our neighbors to the north that we thought of them riding horses backward and naming a dog, “dog” and a horse, “horse.” Pretty creative there, Dudley. Then there was the ever so proper Canadian, Dudley Do-Right ®.
A forerunner to a few decades later when male aggression would take front and center stage in the media. Pepe Le Pew ® was a fun french accent to mimic, and entirely oblivious to his unattractiveness. I learned a lot about international cultures. With my bowl of chocolate mush, I watched Wiley Coyote ® get nailed by a variety of Acme building materials as Roadrunner ® “beep beeped.” Growing up in Arizona, I’d never seen random anvils falling from cliffs, nor was any roadrunner larger than a coyote. Much like what I sat in front of, seated on olive-green sculptured carpet to watch 1970s kids TV. An old vintage television set from the ’70s, complete with a wood-paneled wall.
