    Got 'em all except the nuclear attack thing, must mean I'm over 60.

    Here's a couple more:

    What was the name of Rusty's dog?

    What did Sky King have over his mantel and what was his daughter's name?

    What was the name of the Cisco Kid's horse?

    You probably know a talking horse named Ed but what was the name of the talking mule?

    Rusty's dog must have been Rin tin tin.
    A propeller above Sky King's mantel? Penny was his niece, I believe.
    I should know the Cisco Kidd's horse's name!

    Answers to first quiz:
    1. Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco.
    2. Headlight dimmer switch.
    3. Trigger.
    4. Flour had to be sifted.
    5. Kookla, Fran, and Ollie.
    6. Church keys are used to open "pop" and beer bottles and pierce tin can lids. In an emergency we would use the latch on the inside edge of a car door.
    7. A party line is a phone line that more than one house uses. Each house had it's own number of rings. You could listen in on other peoples' phone calls.
    8. A 3 minute siren meant a nuclear attack.
    9. Chester was Matt Dillon's first deputy. He walked with a limp and was played by Dennis Weaver.
    10. Flubadub was a puppet on the Howdy Dowdy show. He was half dragon and half something else.

    The Cisco Kid's horse was Diablo and Loco was Pancho's horse.

    Also thanx, I think your right about Penny being Sky Kings niece instead of his daughter, it's been a while, in any case I was in love with her. Also in one of Jimmy Buffett's songs he talks about writting fan letters to Sky King's Penny.

    Here's another one, do you know who Ruff and Ready were?

    Olderwaterbrother,

    "We're Ruff n Ready,
    always tough but steady,
    We sometimes fight like cats and mice (or something like that)
    Even have our little spats,
    But when the times something something,
    That's when we're Ruff and Ready!

    (I remember parts of it anyway)

    1. What did Roy's sidekick, Pat, name his Jeep?
    2. How do you set a station on an AM car radio with mechanical buttons?
