What was your first?

Kong76 Dec 14 2008 10:08 AM

Answer a question and then ask one for someone else... Q: What was your first NFL football game you attended? A: Don't remember what year it was but it was a Monday Night Football game and the Seahawks were visiting the Jets and it was misty all night. Bosworth was still playing and it was kind of big deal I think that he was in town. Got the tickets free from a talkative stranger who sat next to me at an Army game the Saturday before. Q: What was your first vacation that Mom and/or Dad didn't pay for? (edited for duh-ness)

A: A one-day trip to Baltimore to see an Orioles-White Sox playoff game in 1983. (It was also my first post-season game that I attended.) Q: What was the first car that you bought?

A: In the late spring of 1975 I bought a 1968 Ford Mustang convertible from a family friend for $1,000 with a little help from my parents. Q: What was the first MLB game you ever attended?

First game was [url=http://www.ultimatemets.com/gamedetail.php?gameno=3257]this one[/url]. I have this hanging on my wall: It features autographs from everyone who played in the game, including home plate umpire Dutch Rennert. Where was the first place you lived after you left your parents?

520 Schenectady St., Schenectady. The place is now a derelcit (if they haven't torn it down). What was the first alcoholic drink you ever drank?

metsguyinmichigan Dec 14 2008 09:20 PM

A sloe gin fizz. Drinking age was 18 in New York at the time, and my co-workers at the Roy Rogers in the Sunrise Mall took me camping, made a big deal of my first drink. Yuck! Probably one of the reasons I'm not a drinker today! What was the first album -- or CD, for you kids -- that you bought with your own money?

Venus and Mars by Paul McCartney and Wings What was the first concert you went to?

Nymr83 Dec 14 2008 11:19 PM

In college, an area event called "Parkfest" which was a day-long concert with 3 stages usually going simultaneously, they'd bring in a big name or two every year and surround them with lesser known talent (and talentless) performers. what was the first movie you saw in theaters?

Dr. Doolittle. Hated it. We left before it was over. What was the first piece of jewelry you ever purchased with your own money?

Rockin' Doc Dec 15 2008 05:12 AM

The earliest one I can actually remember attending was when our family was living in southern California. I was about 6 and my sister 2 years old when our parents took us to see a Disney double feature of <i>Charlie the Lonesome Cougar</i> and <i>Jungle Book</i>. What was the first sports team you played on as a child?

G-Fafif Dec 15 2008 05:23 AM

The Aces, 1971 Pee Wee League runners-up to the Lions. Entered this thread to tell Seawolf I'm in awe of his framed tribute to his first game...and that I had tickets I didn't get to use to the very same game. But as long as I'm here, what was the first non-Shea major league ballpark you attended?

Kong76 Dec 15 2008 06:38 AM

Not counting Skankee Stadium, Camden Yards. The whole harbor area was nice and we had a couple of good meals and fun, but I remember not feeling particularly safe in Baltimore if you strayed off the beaten path. I've been in some of the most godforsaken situations in NY during my years, and give me a night wandering the streets alone anywhere up here than in B'more. What was your first personal computer and what did it have under the hood?

soupcan Dec 15 2008 07:22 AM

A- No idea what it had under the hood but I think it was called a 'Mac Classic'? My mom lent me the money to buy it - $1,000 I think - in 1987 or so. It looked like a big gray ice cube. No internet tubes at that time so it was only for work stuff that I needed to learn. Q- Let's get serious now - what was her/his name?

MFS62 Dec 15 2008 07:25 AM

My first PC (if you can call it that) was a Commodore Vic-20, which hasd20 whole, entire, KILO-bytes under the hood. Didn't do very much. So I bought a Commodore 64. EDIT: Looks like I was typing while Soupy was posting. His question stands. Later

Who was the first person around your age, that you knew, who died? dgwphotography Dec 15 2008 02:36 PM My cousin. He was 18, I was 15. He was killed when a car cut him off, and he drove his motorcycle into a telephone pole. He wasn't wearing his helmet. What was your first job? themetfairy Dec 15 2008 02:40 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Dec 15 2008 02:41 PM Developing X-rays in my dad's office. For minimum wage, which was $2.50/hour at the time. Let's try this again - what was the first piece of jewelry you purchased with your own money? metirish Dec 15 2008 02:41 PM What was your first job? Started working in an auto body shop after school when I was ten or eleven, would serve an apprenticeship there at 17. First time you went overseas? soupcan Dec 15 2008 03:00 PM ="themetfairy"]Let's try this again - what was the first piece of jewelry you purchased with your own money? Before fairy's head explodes I'll answer her question - Hamilton Piping Rock watch for about $250.00. It was a re-issue of a 1928 model that were given to the World Series champion Yankees as gifts. I didn't know that at the time I bought it and the Yankees versions were silver, mine looks more like the one pictured here. ="metirish"]First time you went overseas? sharpie Dec 15 2008 03:03 PM My father worked in the cruise ship business. When I was 4 I went on a 42-day Mediterranean cruise and a weeklong one to the Caribbean. Don't remember which one was first. First time you were left alone overnight without adult supervision?
