    You would almost look like you were "tebowing" down on one knee, turning the dial on a console TV.
    Being kind, one to another, never disappoints.

      Haha, cool thread.

      Well, here's a couple to betray my age and what I thought was badass back in the 70's when I was 12 or so.

        That awkward moment when you're afraid to scroll up because someone posted a picture of 'It' -- thanks in advance for traumatizing me for the night.

          Are you sure you were traumatized by 'It', and not those pants right above him? lol

          Definitely freaky pic though.

                  Our TV looked something like this except the console was longer and bulkier



                  Who could forget



                  I remember my grandmother and aunt brought my brother and I to watch The Gremlins at the drive-in when I was probably five years old. We only made it about 20 minutes into the movie before we were to scared to continue and had to leave. Little bitches we were.

                  My parents used to dress me and my brother like the kid in the picture. Except he would wear red and I would wear blue.



                  Lastly, who could forget the old CB radio? We pissed so many truckers off back in the day.

                    One more thing

                    We didn't have a lot of money growing up, but one year my brother, sister and I got a NES for Christmas. It was so awesome. We played Mario and Duck Hunt all the time. I'm not lying when I tell you that it was pure gaming bliss, especially for a six year old.

                    Then along came:



                    Which turned into "no children are to ever touch the NES ever again. This is Mommy and Daddy's game now and we don't want you losing our hearts"

                    For the record, I still think that The Legend of Zelda is the greatest game of all time.

                      We had a television very similar to this. It was so heavy. I think it was made of teak. On ours the speaker next to the knobs opened up like a door and their was a telephone inside.

                        We had the one with a TV in the middle, record player on the top left side and radio on the top right side. The speakers were below the record player and radio. My father used to talk about taking a chainsaw to it because it was so heavy.
