Back in my day, we paid for gas with the change in our pockets! It was 1963, the skirts weren't mini just yet, but each day more and more leg was shown, on the account it was summer. But anyway, gas was only 34 cents a gallon, which was the same size milk wasn't sold as, so we picked up 4 gallons of gas for our trip to Spittle county for a pint. That had to be the worst conversion ever: four gallons to a Pint, but thankfully we had to drink the pint, and not the gallons 'cuz that would get real messy, not mention gasoline's toxic, but thank fully we kept the metric system up north in the frozen hell known as Canada. I love maple syrup.

Back in my daaaaaaaaay, this site had about 1/10th as many members as it does now, and there was no fancy OC database, we had to do all that in the OOC thread! We even had a chat channel! God, I'm old!

Back in my day, music still sucked! But at least it didn't suck some time before that.

Back in my day during the war we were given Playing Cards, even though they weren't to 'play' with, we were given them so we knew how to escape if captured as they had maps on them, not like you kids, you just play silly games with them!

Back in Mah daaaay, My little pony was just a colorful seizure starter to entertain little girls. Now It has some sort of story and character development... What is the world coming to thanks to you bloody kids?

Back in the day we didn't play games on the TV. TV was for watching. And we had only THREE channels. and NO remote control. We had to get up and change the channel with out HANDS! It was H***! The screaming! The suffering!

But we were thankful.

 

Now git off my lawn!

[Abstract 832]

Once upon a time, there were these magical little boxes with a magnetic tape-like substance wound around two spools; if you so happened to put these boxes inside a particular bigger box, they bestowed upon thine the wondrous ability to hear music, or perhaps see a moving picture - with sound! They were rugged and long lasting; never became scratched, and no matter the circumstance, if one were to, say, take these little boxes out of their big box, they always remembered exactly where you last left off!

 

Some of you may be asking yourselves; what ever were these unbelievable marvels of technology?

 

Well

 

 

 

Perhaps next time this old fart is in the mood, I'll spin y'all a yarn about these little sqaures, almost as thin as paper and just as floppy, that you could just pop in to a computer, and use them to transfer any kind of information you wanted to another, lickety-split! Oh, those were glorious times...

 

 

EDIT: Someday I'll learn to use the spoiler tags correctly...

In my day, ColecoVision was the hot new home videogame system.  It was just like the arcade!

 

If you wanted to visit a casino in the United States, you had two places to go:  Las Vegas or Atlantic City.  And Atlantic City was a brand new gambling mecca as casinos were only allowed in 1978. 

 

I remember when the great environmental concern was global cooling!

Back in my day, literally almost every forum in existence used the crappy old phpBB. Now we have moved on to greater things...

[Double Jump 9]

Back in my day, all these gol dern video game franchisers were jus' gettin' started. Almost everythin' was a new IP, fresher 'n me ma's baked cookies. We didn't need them internets to tell us what ter buy 'cause there were so many good 'uns out there. Nowadays, there aren't many new franchisers and when there are, they're worser 'n prune juice n' bran flakes for breakfas' on yer birthday.

 

Where have the good ol' days gone off to? I dun wanna pay money fer DLC that should'a been on the game in 'a firs' place. I dun wanna play competitive multiplayer all 'a time. I wanna game I can enjoy fer months by me-self or with me bridge crew, not some reskinned FPS ya haff ter buy every year. Don't even get me started on achievables n' trophers.

 

Some a' them Japanese games look ok if they ain't made by Nintender, but they either got bad voice actin' or too much text. My vision's not what it used ter be, so I dun wanna read or watch cutscenes ter play a game. Even though kids these days need ter respect their elders, Bethesder should make a new RPG that isn't Elder Scrolls or Fallout.

 

I shoulda been asleep 5 hours ago. ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.................

Back in my daaaayyyyy underwear was worn under your pants! Now a days kids are walkin around with their crack exposed to the world. What are they waitin for Celestia to come by and pull em up?

[I used to be a stranger 7,993]

Back in my day we dun have no Blu-Ray! Nor we had no Ray Will Johnson!

 

We had Ray Charles, Space Rays, Lyndon B. Johnson and Free Willy!

[Loriem 639]

Back in mah daaaaay, Discovery channel and Animal planet broadcasted good documentaries and programs pertaining more to wildlife and science. Now it has MTV-Itis and is broadcasting all those crappy reality shows you kids watch!!! Gosh Darn Reality Watching Kids...
