    Re: Keeping the FOG alive 9/6

    As a thirtysomething I don't know whether I qualify as a FOG, but I have a bad feeling I do.

    Here's my Way-Back contribution, discovered in my home office a couple weekends ago...

    Found: My original MSF course completion card, dated 10/92
    My MRA New Rider Course completion certificate, dated April 17, 1994

    Bobby Miosek was my new rider instructor, if anyone remembers him. Good guy.

    I took a class from Bobby in 2002 or 2003. I took another in 2004 from Mark at PPIR. They're all too old to use now.

    I'm too old to hang at the Shell and I'm also still too young to be an FOG.

    Thanks for sharing this video! It was 1978, when I thought I was pretty cool with my portable 8-track player! Hee hee!

    Depending upon how you read that, it could refer to the class certificates/training cards or Bobby and Mark, LOL.

    I think he meant Bobby and Mark. Come on, they're not THAT old!

    Yeah, oops... I meant the credentials, not the coaches.

    I'd take a class from either again.

    OMG, that was great! HR Puffenstuff, Adam-12, Hawaii 5-0, and Land of the Lost! Man, the Sleestacks used to give me the creeps something fierce.

    So, what were some of the Saturday morning cartoons you guys used to watch? One's I remember (Bueller, you're excused ) are Speed Buggy, Scooby Doo, He-Man, the Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman ones (Justice League?), Tarzan, and of course the Warner Brothers ones. I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of others.

    A lot of these old-school shows are being run on channel 39-RTN, but you have to have bunny ears. Hell, I'll bet a bunch of people reading this don't know what bunny ears are. Don't tell em either, it is a FOG secret, ha.

    Re: Keeping the FOG alive 9/6

    Anyone remember a kids show called "Tales of the Riverbank"?
    Had live action rodents with voice overs.
    Characters were, Hammy Hamster, Mathew Mouse, G.P. the Guinie Pig?

    They'd stuff rodents into remote control cars and planes.
    We'd joke that they must have offed a couple hundred rodents making that series.

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...69448936687043
    Go to about 4:50 into it and get a load of the disembodied rodent hand grabing the hammer.
    (Probably had a box of various limbs from the dead.)

    Although not Sat morning, we used to religiously watch The Muppet Show--I think it was Sunday night. Then Star Trek. My parents watched both with us.

    How about:
    • Lost in Space
    • Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
    • The Time Tunnel
    Bunny Ears? Hell I can remember B&W.
    Took my first riding course in college in 75 but never bought a street bike till this year. So I'm a FOG Newb with a 32 yr old MC endorsement.
