straight-A

know
>something, we had to go to the darn library and look it up ourselves in
the

>There was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter...with
a

>the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there!

>There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had to

had
>to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually
>talked over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
>
>And talk of about hardship? You couldn't just download porn! You had
to
>steal it from your brother or bribe some homeless dude to buy you a
copy
>of "Hustler" at the 7-11! Those were your options!
>
>We didn't have fancy crap like call waiting! If you were on the phone
>and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it! And we
>didn't have fancy caller ID boxes either! When the phonerang, you had
no
>idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom, your boss, your
>bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent; you just didn't know!!!
>You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
>
>We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with
>high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like
>"Space Invaders" and "Asteroids" and the graphics sucked axx!
>Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use your
imagination!
>And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen
>forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder
and
>harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!
>
>
>When you went to the movie theater there no such thing as stadium
>seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some
old
>broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were
just
>screwed!
>
>Sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 15
>channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You had
>to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You
>were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your
>behind and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there was no
>Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday
morning.
> Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to
>wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little humps!
>
>
>And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up...we
had
>to use the stove or go build a frigging fire...imagine that! If we
>wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid JiffyPop thing and shake it
>over the stove forever like an idiot. That's exactly what I'm talking
>about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled.

>You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980

Watching professional fishing on TV is just watching a bunch of master baiters
hold their rods

Politics is just a bunch of mass debators in one room
