PTR I remember when you were agonizing over Promo vs The Furry Burry Creature. I think you made the right choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky finger Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 When I was trying to think of a handle I wanted a name that someone my age growing up in Buffalo would get. PTR No doubt, one of my favorite names on this board. Good, good memories. The commercials that I coincide with Rocketship 7 in my viewing back then? GI Joe's (which I LOVED as a lad) and ........Light Bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchmurraydowntown Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I clutched my Buffalo raceway tickets from Tops when he called the race, my horse never came in. It was almost like I was cursed with every long-shot in the race, my Mom also used a lot of coupons. Do you know where your children are ??

stevewin Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I think I was on that show once as a kid. Good times. When I was very little my family went to be in the audience of Dialing for Dollars. My Dad got called up to the stage to 'play', and they had our family stand up in the audience and we got on TV which I remember as quite the thrilling thing at the time. The R7 set was right there too, and I remember vividly the lifeless shell of PTR just sitting there - I kept asking what was wrong with him and my parents just said he was sleeping.
