I figured we needed something to be particularly rediculous here. Well... some things ARE rediculous here.
This is the "I used to DREAM about..." game.
It goes like this.
Pretend we're all old men or women sitting around a table, talking about our childhoods.
I first state something
When I was young, I had a pencil with my name on it
The next person would then.
I used to DREAM about having a pencil. In my day, pencils were outlawed!
When I was young I had a pet cat
And the next person...
A cat!? I used to DREAM I had a cat. Cat's didn't exist back when I was young
When I was young all we had were dinosaurs.
And so on...
So that's how the game works. ^__^
Okay. So I'll start off.
"When I was young, I used to watch TV on this old itty-bitty black and white television!"

I used to DREAM about owning a black and white tv! In my day, if we wanted , say, boxing, we had to watch cousin Jamie and uncle Albert slug it out!
When I was young, we had to read books bound with sheepskin

I used to DREAM about reading books bound with sheepskin! In my day, we read heavy clay tablets that were either terribly heavy or warm and melty. -_-
When I was young, I liked to paint toy horses.

I used to DREAM about toy horses! All we could do is paint REAL ones. And you never wanted to do something like THAT. Horses didn't appreciate paint very much.
When I was young, I liked to wear my nice purple vest. |

I used to DREAM about wearing anything purple. We didn't have colored clothes.
When I was young, I liked to open and close doors.

I used to DREAM about having doors! Back in the day, all we had was a cave, and we were lucky if a bear blocked the entrance to keep the draft out. (Though, at that point, we didn't mind the draft at all)
When I was young, I liked to run around in circles randomly. For hours on end. Then get dizzy and fall over.  |

When I was young, I used to DREAM about being able to run around in circles. My house was merely a shack, and it was too dangerous to go outside.
When I was young, I used to go down to the pond to catch newts and salamanders. |

I used to DREAM about newts and salamanders. All we had were dinosaurs and them Utah Raptors didn't like getting caught.
When I was young, I liked to draw. |

I used to DREAM about being able to draw. All we had were sticks and dirt and the moment you were done with a masterpiece the next kid would come and stomp all over it...
When I was young, I lived in Ukraine.

I used to DREAM about going to Ukraine! You know, back in my day, we couldn't even go to the MARKET sometimes because the price was so high.
When I was a young'un, I had a box of crayons. |

I used to DREAM about having a box of crayons! Back in my day, all we could do for that was reach our hands in a beehive, and if that didn't kill us, we'd scribble on bark with that.
When I was young, I wore shoes. |

I used to DREAM about wearing shoes! In my day, we all walked around barefoot, and this place used to be scattered with thorn bushes and sharp rocks.
When I was young, I had a broom.

I used to DREAM about having a broom. When my mother wanted me to sweep my room, I had to lick it clean.
When I was young, I loved eating cherries. |

Ooh, great game idea... The regular forum games are classics, but not as interesting. 
I used to DREAM about having a bath. Instead we had a bucket to crouch down in.
When I was young, Pluto was a planet. |

I used to DREAM about even HAVING a pluto. Back in my day, there were 2 and a half planets. Earth, Jupiter, and the moon. >:[ You don't know how good you had it then.
When I was young, I used to run around my yard naked. |

Now I think of it, this game reminds me of Monty Python's "The Four Yorkshiremen" sketch... "Oh, we used to dream of livin' in a corridor!" 
I used to DREAM about running around my yard naked. In my day nakedness simply didn't exist! Everyone had to wear clothes at ALL times, for fear of being shamed and shunned by a prudish society!
When I was young, I used to shovel snow without a spade! |

Azumizai
 
|
8/19/2008 | |
Finally! Someone got it. I was waiting till someone figured where the inspiration came from. ;]
I used to DREAM about using a spade. Our father would chase us down, and use US as shovels. And gave us a penny each for the trouble so we could go buy tar from the tar store. (Back before candy was invented, you know)
When I was young, I used to watch Monty Python. |

I used to DREAM about watching Monty Python. All we had in terms of british humor was Mr Bean and his weird looking car!
When i was young I walked two blocks to school.

I used to DREAM about eating chicken! Back then, all we had to eat was mamoth. MAMOOTH!!!!

I used to DREAM about creaky wooden roller coasters! Why, when I was but a tiny tot, if I wanted to go fast, I had to ride on the back of a T-Rex chasing after its next victim!
When I was young, I loved playing pointless yet entertaining games like this.

I used to DREAM about sleeping! (though dreaming without sleeping is a little hard) In my day, all we had was "Dozing Day" and we had to make do with that!
When I was young, I loved posting on forums.

I used to DREAM about being able to breathe! We used to roll around, without lungs mind you (they hadn't been invented yet) and wonder what the air around us was for!
When I was young, my favorite food was bacon.
Mmm... Bacon... |

I used to DREAM about bacon! Never had pigs in my day, dirty little animals. We ate gazelles like good, clean, decent folk. But there was nothing our gaunt, hungry little mouths craved more than a sizzling strip of bacon.
When I was young, I could only count up to 35.

I used to DREAM about counting up to 35! Back then, when they taught us the 123's, we only went up to 3! That's why people died so young!(luckily they invented more numbers before I hit 4)
When I was young, I liked watching stupid videos on YouTube.

Are you kidding me? I used to *dream* of having such a strong feminist icon as Dora! All I had was Penny from Inspector Gadget (who kept on getting caught, and didn't come with kung-fu grip. :.( ).
When I was young, I liked to play with stinging caterpillars.

When I was young, I used to DREAM about just being stung by a catterpillar. Our caterpillars were downright vicious and had the sharpest teeth you'd imagine...
