Alright OTers, get your crayons and markers out and lets get ready to circle what's on our list this year while we take a little trip down memory lane.



Feel free to add things from other years

Judging by some of the babe threads on here, I'm not sure if the OT is ready for pics of what a real woman looks like. Sears ladies underwear models were the peak of the female species.

Kids these days have no idea what they're missing. And that goes a lot beyond the xmas part of this catalog. The instant "satisfaction' that is expected these days is a huge part of society's problem.

My brother and I would spend hours looking at the Wish Book. We'd circle so damn much. I wish something like that was available now. The Amazon one tries but doesn't cut it.

The NFL section for team clothing was so awesome in the early 1970s.

I think part of the reason is the magic just isn't there for kids anymore. Like for us Christmas season started after Thanksgiving, it was special, one month we looked forward to all year that our calendar revolved around. Now Christmas starts bombarding them 2-3 months ahead of time if not more and just becomes like another everyday thing. I mean even during October stores seem to have Christmas decor slowly creeping in around the Halloween stuff.

I’m going to guess that you were born in 1983.

'88
But had an older cousin who some of the older stuff in the pics that I grew up playing with when I'd come over to his house; and I just wanted to try to put in a wide range stuff for those of us born in the early-late 80s and early 90s. Anything before that I'm hoping some of the older OTers familiar with it can post pics of

We were so poor that we just gave pages of the catalog to each other.

That's why today's young adult have no ability to innovate and adapt to adverse circumstances. You didn't have the internet then. And finding a porno tape or nudie magazine was like finding gold nugget out of the blue. So you had to make due. The ladies of the wish book, with their seductive looks were all you needed in a pinch. You bet I had $18 just burning a hole in my pocket!!!!!




I think I circled this bike in the book for 4 straight years. Both at my house and my grandparents house. 4 straight Christmas mornings I woke up to disappointment.

(I later had a friend with that bike and found out it was a complete piece of shite compared to the one my folks actually bought for me. It was one of the first times I realized my parents might actually know what they are doing)
