While searching for old threads that relate to [What’s your earliest TV memory?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=553773) I ran across some that I felt needed to be shared with the fans of the “good old days” here at SDMB.

> [@Biggirl](#): > > Of course not! How can adding entertainment value be counted as shitting? Glad you see it that way. The thing is I could swear the same exact title was around in my earliest days here. I did see one similar but it was on music or movies or even memory itself. A side note: it’s amusing that we’re reminding ourselves of where we reminded ourselves of some nostalgia at another time and place. Whenever my brother and I are in the same place for any length of time (he’s in another state and we see each other rarely these days) our main task is to refresh our memories on when and where each significant event in our lives took place. I suspect most people who don’t see each other often are like that if they have enough time to get into it. ---

Yo, **NoClueBoy** , help me remember some keywords from that crazy thread that changed subject with every post. Was Creedence one of them? I mean to link to that thread from here.
