**THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!**

[Nitro]

If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious
diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up; what,
with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning ....
uphill
BOTH ways yadda, yadda, yadda!

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way
in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on kids about how
hard I had it and how easy they've got it!

But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help but
look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I
mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!

And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good you've
got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to
know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up
ourselves, in the card catalog!!

There was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter...with a
pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in
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
hitchhike to the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!
Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd
usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!

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 phone rang, 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! 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 a$$ 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 bastards!

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 Jiffy Pop 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!
Oh yea, and a seatbelt was Mom throwing her arm across your chest every
time she hit the brakes.

I also remember when MTV came out....damn!

thats what i was talking about the big number knob had about 12 numbers on it about 3 channels the other number had about a 100 numbers and 4 ****y channels that never came in. you had to **** with the tune dial in the middle of the knob.

[Nemesis]

haha scrambled porn, channel 99 SPICE baby!

[Jaimecbr900]

thats what i was talking about the big number knob had about 12 numbers on it about 3 channels the other number had about a 100 numbers and 4 ****y channels that never came in. you had to **** with the tune dial in the middle of the knob.

Gotcha. We had one where it had a big knob, then it had like a little clear window where you turn the smaller middle knob to change the VHF channels with. It was retarded.

My grandparents had one where it had that big honker channel dial, BUT it had a remote control.........which was really nothing more than a garage door opener remote look-a-like thing. You'd hit the ONE button on it and it would turn the big honker dial a channel at a time. I would stare at that thing for hours when my grandpa "channel surfed". I thought it was the coolest thing that he didn't have to get up to turn the channel. :rolleyes:

How about hearing the loud hissing static sound in between channels when changing the channel.....that was always cool. :goodjob:
