[Luna]

IMO, you haven't lived if you've never changed the channel on your TV with a pair of pliers.

HAHAHAHAHAA...that is so true.....I think everybody had one of those at one time. heheeeeee

[onehung]

We had 3 remotes when I was a kid. Me, my brother, and sister. For all 3 stations{}

[crx girl]

BTW, I think the point many of you are missing is that if you were born in 1983, you probably don't have conscious memories of things that happened in 1986.

hoohoo eph:

[NaughtyAngel]

[Kid Afrika]

fbdlingfrg, 1985? damn it, I was 9. I remember EVERYTHING on your list except the prices and the Oscars. I even remember Reagan getting shot.

[LZMF1]

i remember watching the space shutttle blow up. i was in a hospital bed and i was a freshman in high school. oddly enough i thought that was fucking cool as hell. call me a sick, macabre bastard.

i remember when cable first came out you got this big assed cable box that had like 3 rows of buttons and a toggle switch to select what row of buttons were active. HBO was not on 24 hours a day and mtv wasn't even a thought in someone's mind.

i can remember the bicentennial parades on july 4th 1976. i was 4 years old.

i remember when big macs came in styrofoam boxes.

reagan getting shot, john lennon being gunned down.the hostages in iran and all sorts of other crap that date me and obviously give away my age.

damn i feel old! well, at least i don't act my age.
