Most of my memories are the same as Galt's (probably because I'm a month and a half older).
...When Dominoes used to guarantee that if it took more than 30 minutes to deliver your food, it was free
HAHA, so true. And the Noid!
...black and white televisions
We had 2. A big one, and I had a little 13" one in my room. Ohhhh. With the rabbit ears.
...when NBC, CBS, and ABC were the only networks
YES! No fucking WB, or FOX. REmember when FOX started? That was a major event!
...That "Prevue" was the precursor to modern cable. It sucked, and we had it.
I don't remember Prevue. :-( Bad mdmory I guess.
...when bacon and eggs was part of a healthy breakfast
LOL! And english muffins smothered with a stick of butter.
...When remote controls used to have cords
Holy shit!! We had a VCR with a corded remote. LMAO!
..."Remote Control"
That show rocked the mother fuckin house! Colin Quinn baby!
...when NO ONE owned a computer
I remember my one friend had a computer, because his dad worked for AT&T. We all used to go to his house and watch him type like 1000 lines of code and make it say "hello" while flashing different colors.
...writing letters
Yeah, remember pens?
...when the press was reporting the fact that their were people who could host AIDS but not actually ever get sick with the virus
Yes, the beginning of AIDS. :-(
...Thinking that Emelio Estevez was probably the coolest person ever
I still remember the day I found out that Emelio Estevez and Charlie Sheen were brothers. I was like, "whoa, they are the coolest family ever". They were long before the Baldwins.
...when the phones in my house weren't touch-tone
I still remember those damn cream colored rotary phones.
...when having more than one phone was a big deal
Yes! And I remember when cordless phones came out too. They were huge, and had this really long antenna that stuck up off of them.
...when I used to write creative stories in grade school about bringing in weapons and killing all my classmates and teachers and I was called into read the story to other classes because everyone thought it was so funny
LOL! And remember playing with toy guns that were actually gun colored? And not bright pink or orange so you could actually think they were real. But of course, no one ever even attempted to pass one off as real.
...when being a "businessman" meant you wore a suit and tie to work.
And NO ONE worked from home.
...programming with "Logo"
Remember being in computer class and making the little "turtle" move around and doing little commands to make shapes?
...Datsun cars
My friend had the coolest mother in the world, because she had a Datsun sports car.
...buying records not because it was hip, but beccause it was the only option
How about 8-tracks!
...getting our first microwave and VCR
Our first microwave and VCR were huge. In fact, I think our first VCR was the same size as our microwave is now.
...betamax and Laserdisks
We never had either. We just waited for VCR's.
...when everyone was afraid that the Killer Bees wre going to make their way through Texas and kill thousands of people in the country.
ROFL. I remember that well.
...The Atari 2600
Yes, and all of the other cheap clone gaming systems.
...Watching the '86 series and hating Bob Stanley and Calvin Schiraldi exponentially more than Bill Buckner
I remember Rusty Staub.
...when you weren't cool unless your sunglasses were two-way mirrors
LMAO, like the one guy lifeguard from Caddyshack. He was the coolest!
...when everyone I knew had two parents who lived with them.
I can still remember when my one friends parents got divorced. No one knew what the hell that was.
...When Dominoes used to guarantee that if it took more than 30 minutes to deliver your food, it was free
HAHA, so true. And the Noid!
