Kind of a fun game

The mail order music service. What was it, BMG?

Sign up, buy 1 CD, get 10 for $10. They automatically mailed you a different random CD each month and if you didn't return it, they'd charge you full price.

Oh, you youngsters.

I thought it was something like twelve free cassette tapes.

For the win...

I remember when the internet didn?t exist and every phone on the planet was hardwired.

And let?s not forget carburetors.

Imagine telling a sixteen year old who is just learning how to drive how to set the choke to get it started up or teaching them what to do if it?s flooded and won?t start.

I definitely rocked one of these when I rode my bike around town.

I was recently in a room of just under 30 year-olds and not a single one of them knew who Loraina Bobbet is.

A shame when people are cut off from popular remembrance.

Hrm... having trouble deciding between slap bracelets and having your POG container spill everything into your Jansport backpack.

This is a video of two 17-year old boys (born circa 2002) who were challenged to dial a specific phone number with a rotary phone in less than four minutes. It was a real nail biter. I like how they originally start dialing from the bottom of the finger stop and dial TO the number they want. They also just leave the handset on the receiver. Although eventually (with a little help), they are able to figure it out and make the call within the time limit. A life skill that should come in handy in the event, and only in the event, they're ever visiting their grandma like decent grandchildren and her house catches fire. Now let's see if they can make a call with a pager.
