Do you remember calling the police "Judy" (Judy Justice) or "Betty" (Betty Badge)?? :laugh: :laugh:
"Oh God, here comes Judy!" :laugh:
I wonder what the gay kids call the police these days?

I think that was before my time, but I came out pretty late in life--didn't start the process till I was 26.

I remember getting up very early in the morning and finding these test patterns on the TV until about 6:00. I would be sitting there with my bowl of cereal and milk waiting for the test pattern to end and the cartoons to start! :D

I remember those - and the Star Spangled Banner playing at the end of the broadcasting day for American stations.
Also remember the Winky Dink show where you had a plastic cover you put on the screen so you could draw things when the nattator told you to, like a ladder in a particular place for one of the cartoon characters to climb. Jurassic-era interactive media. :D

In Georgia, as I recall, cops were referred to as "the fuzz."
