Here are some of my favorites, I'm sure you all will recognize them. Probably missed a few.
Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn
Here's looking at you, kid
You're gonna need a bigger boat
May the Force be with you
I'll be back
You can't handle the truth
Yippie-ki-yay, motherf—er
Houston, we have a problem
There's no crying in baseball
Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli
Show me the money
You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?
I love the smell of napalm in the morning
Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer
Shaken, not stirred
Mama says, Stupid is as stupid does
Hasta la vista, baby
Go ahead, make my day
Get your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape

I haven't heard of cops pulling anybody over here in Pa. Personally, I'm obeying my own rules which are probably more restrictive than the laws - just makes sense to me - I'm in survival mode - protecting myself. I do object to those carelessly socializing - that's selfish and just prolonging the pandemic and increasing the risk to everybody else. The old saying seems appropriate - what goes around, comes around.

"playing ball with no adults around to make up rules" - Another good one BB
We did it all the time. During football season my favorite was "Kill the man with the ball" which basically had no rules. Turned out to be a good training drill for when we played organized football.

Ah yes - the roller skating rinks. As a 12 year old, a friend and i would take a bus (imagine that today) about 8 miles to nearest rink. Thought we were hot stuff with the girls - NOT.

Many hours spent with my Duncan yoyo - walk the dog, around the world.
And then there were slot cars. Local hobby shop had a nice track, held races weekly, awarded prizes quarterly based on point standings

Buying baseball cards for the gum. Not knowing a Hank Aaron rookie card would be worth thousands years later. Sometimes we put the cards in the spokes of our bikes.
We used to play games with baseball cards.
"Wallsies" - if you had several - maybe half dozen kids - from a distance of 10 feet from a wall - toss your card to the wall - whoever was closest to the wall won all the cards for that round. Games usually ended with one kid gaining a windfall and others wiped out.
"Knocksies" - Lean a card against the wall. Again from 10 feet, toss you card attempting to knock the leaner down - also winner take all.

Speaking of stick ball, anybody play half ball? Or wiffle ball?
Are some of you RED?

Winter king salmon in Alaska. That’s one of my fishing buddies up there. He’s 6’5” and holding that fish out for the picture. It’s only about 25 pounds but looks like a monster in the picture. Nice fish but it’s not as big as it looks. All of the ones on the floor of the boat are about that size. It just shows what the fish is. Not real difficult to catch a batch of 20 pound Kings out of the bay there in about 3 hours with 5 rods on downriggers trolling behind a 55 foot boat.
You shouldn't have told us about the size illusion, we would have been even more impressed
