Hey there! I'm 43 years old, live in Oklahoma and am a Graphic Designer for a major hospital corporation. I'm married to a lovely wife whose name is Kecia, and have two daughters, Laryn - age 12 and Halie - age 16 who occupy a major portion of my time.Why the name KuKuAchoo? The Beatles have always fascinated me because they seemed to surpass the NORMAL barrier. They just didn't play rock n' roll, they played songs with creative content...although be-it most of the songs were written in a drug induced state...they still stuck with you..."I Am The Walrus" always fascinated me as a young tyke...cause I didn't understand what the song meant except I always remembered the "KuKuAchoo" at the end--as well as in the Simon and Garfunkel song "Mrs. Robinson". For me, the 60's and 70's were a time of change and discovery---from the glitzy to the gaudy, it was full of fun and glamour. Disco made it's debut out of which came music groups such as KC and the Sunshine Band and of course, still popular from the 60's, those crazy Monkees wheelin' around on TV in a brass bed singing Last Train To Clarksville. My education was attained fromSchoolHouse Rock, I mastered survival from watching Gilligans Isle, learned my family values from The Brady Bunch, viewed how history really was from Monty Python's Flying Circus and visualized heroe's of the future watching Ultra Man fighting some Japanese rubber monster. I hope you enjoy my site as you browse around the different menu's and pages. I always enjoy feedback, and will help all try to find more research into their 60's and 70's mission. Remember that famous saying in the 60's...Drop out, Turn On, and Tune in baby.... You're Probably Aged 33 to 43 If...These were submitted by voodooJoe from Ellicott City, MD:you said "dial the phone" because your phone actuallly had a dial You called it a "car phone", not a "cell phone" Someone you knew owned an 8-track, a lava lamp and a bean bag chair Your "CDs" were black, vinyl and about 12" around only the rich kid had a Walkman You could push a button and the cassette player would skip to the start of the next song - a marvel of technology Your record collection had at least one album from The Jackson 5, Chicago and the Partridge Family You remember when Disco was new and there was no such genre as "Classic Rock" You know all the words to The Brady Bunch theme song You know what the Bradys had for dinner with pork chops You can say both "D' plane! D' plane!" and "Welcome to Fantasy Island" with the proper accents You identify Heather Locklear with TJ Hooker, not Melrose Place or Spin City You NEVER missed an episoide of Happy Days You remember where you were for the last episodes of M*A*S*H and Cheers, but didn't know Friends was over until a month later You had a metal lunchbox bearing the theme of a primetime television show You weren't allowed to have a calculator at school there was a poster of a woman in a red bathing suit in your room (or we don't need to tell you who that was) You know what Big Buddys and Whacky Packs are You owned a pair of blue suede running shoes You remember when Vans were cool, the first time You hated when "Scrappy" joined the "Scooby Doo" cast and always wondered why Shaggy & Scooby were so hungry. You ate "Mr T" or "Quisp" cereal. Soul Train came on right after Fat Albert, and that meant it was time to play outside. And a girls dream was to be a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, or a dancer on Solid Gold. You know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie-Pop. Remember Freshen-up Gum--the gum with the liquid center. You know who sang "Muskrat Susie and Muskrat Sam". Your first video game was called "Pong". You learned how to type on a typewriter that didn't have to be plugged in. You played with G.I. Joes and didn't have to worry about people calling you gay. Spending rainy days playing with Rock'em Sock'em Robots. You learned to swim about the same time Jaws came out and still carry the emotional scars to this day. You could sing "99 Red Balloons" in English and in German. You're starting to believe that maybe having the kids go to school year-round wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. You did the LeFreak with Chic. "All-skate, change directions" means something to you. In high school, you and all your friends discussed elaborate plans to get together again at the end of the century and play "1999" by Prince over and over again. You wore anything Izod, especially collar "up," or the windbreakers that folded up into a pouch you could wear around your waist. You owned a Jordache anything, or you remember when Jordache jeans were cool. You ever dressed to emulate a person you saw in either a Duran Duran, Madonna, Rick Springfield, or Cyndi Lauper video. You actually know who Rick Springfield is. You rode in the back of the station wagon and you faced the cars behind you in the "tail gunner" position. Schoolhouse Rock played a HUGE part in how you actually learned the English language. You had a poster of Bo, Luke & Daisy Duke. There was nothing to question about Bert n' Ernie living together. Knickers and leg warmers were cool. You always wanted to learn to play "Stairway to Heaven" on the guitar and choreographed "Dancing Queen" by yourself in your room. You were afraid of the Sleestaks on Land of the Lost. The first time you ever kissed someone was at a dance during "Crazy for You" by Madonna. You ever used the phrase "kiss mah grits" in conversation. You had ringside seats for Luke and Laura's wedding. You know who shot J.R. This rings a bell: "and my name, is Charlie. They work for me." You had to have a Dorothy Hammill haircut. You sat with your friends on a Friday night and dialed "867-5309" to see if Jenny would answer. You owned a pair of Rainbow suspenders just like Mork used to wear. You remember when your cable TV box had the three rows of numbers and you had to move the selector switch accordingly. Two Words: Feathered hair Your jaw would ache by the time you finished those "brick-sized" packages of Bazooka gum. The phrase "Where's the beef?" still doubles you over with laughter.
These were submitted by Tracy from Nashville:
You knew that only nerds wore Toughskins jeans.
You wore your Members Only jacket with the sleeves pushed up.
You remember when New Coke came out and when it died.
You thought Isaac on the Love Boat was really cool.
You had a Land of the Lost lunchbox.
You dressed as Princess Leia for Halloween but you couldn't get your hair to stay in those Danish-like braid rounds. (I did that!)
