I just remembered - the very first Trivial Pursuit game rolled out a quarter of a century ago! ;)

more music greats from 1982 ...
♦ Steve Winwood had a Top 40 hit in Canada with one of my most favourite songs ever ... 'Valerie'

I guess it depends on which region of the country you live in; I remember Mcdonald's started selling McNuggets in Wisonsin in the spring of 82; incidentally, I saw on the History Channel where they also started selling the McRib sandwich sometime in the early 80s but but I don't think the Mickey D's in the midwest had them until well into the 90's. :)

Allen Ludded had to leave Password Plus in October 1980 due to complications he was having due to medication he was taking for stomach cancer (although many people believe he had a stroke); at that point Tom Kennedy took over as host until the show's cancellation in March 1982.
I also forgot to mention before that Match Game was also taken off the air around the same time that year (RIP Brett and Charles) :\'(

Who can forget the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville Tennessee?!! All of my extended family lived in Knoxville, so I went to the fair at least a dozen times. I remember the deely bobbers (the headband with the spiral wires and foam shapes on the end. ) Mine had the World's Fair flames on the ends. I spent most of my time in the Pac-Man tent, playing "Kick", which I still have never seen in any arcade. I had Pac Man shoe strings, stuffed toys, a Pac Man rubik's cube, a Pac Man sliding tile game, etc., all from the tent at the World's Fair.
Knoxville has been celebrating the 25th anniversary of the fair this whole year. memorabilia from the fair gets sold for lots of money, if you know where to sell it.

What a stunning / shocking / sad piece of news was that at the time ? My tennis hero ... gone forever. Couldn't believe he wasn't there at the 1982 final, having made the previous 6. Wimbledon committee has a lot to answer for there. They refused him a wildcard ... he'd not played sufficient tournaments, I believe. Given that he'd beaten Connors twice in the finals (the eventual champ) who beat the guy who'd beaten him the previous year (McEnroe) ..... you gotta think Borg was a great chance to win a 6th Wimbledon. We'll never know now, thanks to those jerks ! I think their snubbing of him precipitated his shock retirement !
