1. How did MST3K miss this stinker?

I wanted to give that narrator a swirly halfway through.

3. I had to google "swirly"

What's worse than a tornado?

[niyad]

7. thought mst3k only did movies or shows? used to think they just covered whatever was in the

"pinkie" (a movie review of b, c, and d movies in, if I remember correctly) the san francisco chronicle. the reviewer was named billy jim bob, or something similar. they were absolutely hilarious. a standard line was something like, "well, this one is going directly to mst3k".

[Warpy]

8. They did those old "health & hygiene" movies

they used to subject teenagers to in the 50s and 60s. Most of them are on You Tube.

9. missed those. miss mst3k!!

2. Required viewing when I was in 5th grade in 1962.

Girls only, though. And we needed parents' permission to watch. Hopelessly corny by today's standards, but indicative of the time.

6. seem to remember having to watch this about fifth grade or so--thought it was silly then,

couldn't get through the first ten seconds this time.

17. I think I saw this in the 7th grade. But I lasted 5 minutes this time. n/t

10. yes, I remember "the movie"

the boys got to go outside and play baseball....and we girls had to go in the auditorium and watch the movie.
I remember being pissed that I couldn't go play ball.....had to watch the stupid and embarrassing film.

Times were sure different then.

Just asking.

[niyad]

13. Fourth grade--1959

Don't knock it. My mom was way too embarrassed about such things to explain it this well. Thanks for posting this. I always remembered seeing it but couldn't remember a single detail.

14. I got the Kotex Miss Deb kit when I was about 11.

There was no discussion in classrooms about menstruation and no discussion in the family. My mother sent for the kit and gave it to me, I knew how to read, and that was that.

15. Ha!

Reminds me a little of the film we saw - only it was about reproduction in general, not just menstruation. It was quite confusing - lots of birds and bees and butterflies.

A group of mothers got together and showed it to a bunch of us kids at the Club - I'll never forget it. It was an occasion of much hilarity and we all got into trouble. It was so worth it though!

16. Walt Disney said "Vagina"?

However it was quite educational. Nice job for those dark age years.
