OK, I'll accept it coulda been one word with a capital "F". But when it's spelled as two separate words, it just reminded me how those silly adults would always accent the first syllable... "TRANS-former". That just drove me crazy!

I don't know why transformers never really appealed to me. Guess they came out when I was in high school and dealing with mafia sh1t like you wouldn't beleive. My most prized as well as missed relic at the time was a three foot stretch of plastic/rubber tubing connected to a "water pipe" that rested in an 8-track cassette holder. The other end of the tube had a stem that was fastened into a rubber stopper. I would fill the three foot section with ice cubes before "hitting" the road with a date or two. I really don't miss the circumstances I was living under at the time but the dates themselves serve as priceless memories to this very day. Even "Journey" was still very popular back then, and part of the reason I constructed the wonder pipe back then was the rare effect "stone in love" had upon my entire physical chemistry as I barely remembered singing that one too! I think it was a form of self-medication while living with a bunch of nitwits with very closed minds and thought that I needed serious help for even wanting to lay such a bold claim. Sorry, but it is true. I miss my wonder pipe, and all of the good times I was allowed in my youth because I was a minor and happened to be around the right people at the time to make it a secret reality until now. Cheers!

Johnny West, Jane West, Chief Cherokee and Geronimo, plus an assortment of horsies and other plastic accessories ... put in goodwill box by mother who to this day fails to understand the words "collector value"

Talking Rex Harrison as Dr Doolittle Doll (pull the string in the back of his neck and he said a number of different clever things from the movie (which was a musical and didn't star Eddie Murphy, children) ... lost in a flood

I still have the baseball cards, but of course they've been stored wrong ...

Oh, you just don't know how much I loved the original doctor doolittle. I was mesmerized by the story line itself. Here is a mad scientist who is actually on the good side of crazy, and his ideas worked. A dreamer and doer of the seemingly impossible.

A sad sign of the times that the 1967 Fox musical is called "The *original* Dr. Dolittle". Hugh Lofting must be rolling in his grave. :-)

Hmm, I scarcely remember another version other than the one's with Eddie Murphy. SCARCELY, and that too is somewhat frightening. I will probably spend the rest of my evening pondering over that one! Thank you for sharing that wonderful little gem and for allowing my mind such an unexpected journey! I am on a mission to search for a memory that goes back to childhood. YES!!
