Things that don't exist But You'd've liked to Experience It.

[RedmanWasHere]

What are things from the past (be they things from your childhood that you missed out on, were too young at the time or they existed before you were born) you would've liked to have experienced?

For me, I'd've liked to shop at Tuckerbag, SSW and Jewel.

The closest I experienced to those sort of supermarkets were Franklin's and Maxi Foods not to mention Action and SupaValue in WA.

Brashs too (Sanity, Virgin and HMV for the young folk.)

There was a theme park down somewhere on the Mornington Peninsula that would've been a blast for kids.

Going to VFL Park as it was the closest ground to wherever I have lived.

What are yours?

Seeing the premiere screening of Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back.

My brother and I shoplifted from Jewel when we were little. We took a bag of lollies. We were silly enough to open them and eat them in the car on the way home. Mum turned the car around drove back to Jewel and made us apologise.

Hoverboards like "Back to the future" not the 'hoverboards' that we have today which still need wheels..

Dinosaurs. (The creatures, not the TV show, I experienced that.)

Yeah this.

I always wonder what it would be like to live in the same era as them.

Short and terrifying I'd imagine.

DMT it was either a chemical reaction/illusion in the brain or the real thing.
