Toy: Bernie
"Meet Bernadette, A.K.A Bernie. Bernie was made from a well-worn sock and is turning into a well-worn stuffed animal! Bernie loves to sit and eat goldfish crackers ALL day long. She can be shy at first but once she gets to know you she's quite the motormouth. I have to go, she wants me to throw the goldfish into her mouth so she can catch them!"- Diane Koss
Show us your dirty wow wow
PS. Mine was the teddy bear Bam Bam. I still haven't had the heart to throw him away so he still lives in a box somewhere.
Nostalgia: The Persuaders!
The car race between Moore and Curtis in the first episode. This is how they meet. After this clip they will start a fight over how many olives goes into a Dry Martini. (Uploaded by Dansmoncafe)
"The Persuaders! is a British television series, which first aired in 1971 and 1972 in Britain's ITV and on the ABC Network in the United States. The series starred Tony Curtis, as Danny Wilde, and Roger Moore, as Lord Brett Sinclair, both millionaire international playboys, but from very different American and British backgrounds." (more from Wikipedia)
The show was a big fiasco in the States (they only showed 20 out of the 24 episodes) but it was a big success in many European countries. Moore had only signed up for one season so he could easily sneak off to doing Bond and Curtis, well honestly, his good days had already ended some time ago, hadn't they?
Maybe the fact that only one season was done the show managed to keep a high standard and thus in time creating the cult status which it holds for many. But of course then there was the fast cars, the glamorous chicks, the flashy settings, the witty dialogue, John Barry's outstanding theme music...

- The show was called Snobbar som jobbar in Sweden (which means Snobs on the job or something like that), France: Amicalement votre, Denmark: De uheldige helte (meaning The Unlucky Heroes according to Dans Mon Café), Germany: Die 2, The Netherlands: De Versierders, Italy: Attenti a quei due
- A motion picture remake starring Steve Coogan and Ben Stiller is currently in the works.

Nostalgia: Mastermind
Mastermind was a nice little board game I had as a child. Better still was the cover! What does the image tell us? With a master mind we'll get hot Asian babes? Isn't that James Last by the way?
Found here.
Slime
Do you remember Slime? I remember "accidentally" getting this green stuff into a kid neighbor's hair. Take a look at other popular toys from the 70s and 80s. I can't say I recognize everything - everything was probably not even sold over here in Sweden - but lots of it. You can bet some lucky b-stard had it!

The Green Parachutist
This picture, that I found via Bello Púbico, took me back to my childhood in the mid 70's and I just had to blog it. Does anyone else get a just a little bit notalgic from this?
It's the Wacky Races!
I remember that I, as a kid, liked the Wacky Races. But we didn't get much of those cartoons on the telly so for me Wacky Races is more a comic book. No matter in what media - it's wacky alright!
