    It was the summer after my Sr. year in high school. I was working for Pizza Hut. One of my coworkers was saving up the 5gal jugs our fry oil came in for water jugs, just in case. I was confident things would be fine. We had YEARS of warning. Some people just want the world to end. I remember getting into it with a Mayan Calendar guy at a bar 20 years ago when that was a thing. He almost took a swing at me for calling out his BS.

    There’s also something about the food court that hit different back then. And the thrill of splitting the cost of a movie ticket and then sneaking your friend in through the emergency exit in the theater.

    Taping the best songs from the top 40 countdown in the radio on a Sunday afternoon. Always a skill to try and not capture the DJ jabbering on.

    My uncle used to play the theme song on the piano. He had a cockatiel that learned it, he would whistle it until about half way through, then he'd make sounds like he was having an apoplectic fit, and then finish the song. He did this for years and they had no clue why. I was listening to my uncle play and I finally put together what Beaker was doing. When my uncle would mess up a note he would slam all his finger of both hands on the piano keys and curse a bunch, then he would finish the song from where he stopped. Beaker was copying him playing it wrong.

    Only the rich kids at my school got these. I never got one. We all shared a huge box of broken and worn crayons. We'd have to sort through them to get the color we wanted.

    Pretty much guaranteed. In Jr. High (I'm that old OK), I was in the Special Ed. class with all the trouble makers who were probably headed to Juvie eventually. I remember specifically a day our teacher came in and put on the 90210 finale. Pretty sure she was at a watch party the night before because that's when it came out. I learned NOTHING that day.

    My mom back in the 70s would light up a cig while driving at the same time. Never knew how she did it.

    Time ZERO was Midnight. The time when the sun was at it's lowest point because changing dates when everyone was awake in the middle of the day was a really dumb idea. We get this from ancient Babylon. Same reason we have 60m hours and 60s minutes. They liked that number for some reason. So with ZERO being Midnight, it made sense for noon to be 12 because the Babylonians liked 12 and 24 too. Shorter answer, It's all arbitrary so relax.

    Best Windows OS ever. Had just the right amount of "idiot proof" that my mom stopped calling me for help every day, but you could still get "under the hood" and really tinker with it. Loved this system.

    So this looks creepier than the original version. The functional version had eyes that opened up when you picked up the phone. Actually not sure that makes it better.

    It wasn't a choice. This was all they made back then, even us non serial killers with eye problems had a pair of these. Either these or those plastic "tortoise shell" ones.

    I have one of these in the crawlspace. My kids won’t let my granddaughter play with that moldy old toy with pieces she can swallow and bite the hats off 😝. I’m going to have to give up my FP collection.

    I was in college BEFORE Facebook. Facebook came out my Sr. year. Myspace the year before. Never used either. I think that makes me the end of Gen-X.

    That Tia Carrere in Wayne's World, and while she does have a singing career, it is most definitely not in any kind of rock music.

    Bill Clinton was President. We had ZERO wars. The USA was taking the world by storm with the Internet. Oh and Greenday and Metallica don't suck yet.

    I was in a store on Cape Cod in the 70's and a kid in shorts, barefoot, had a bottle explode in his arms. If course he dropped it, and now he's barefoot in the center of a pool of glass. I and another guy picked him up and carried him to clear floor, and the manager gave him a new bottle for free, and sent him off.
