Ok, so I saw this in another forum.

The point is...we all come from different walks of life and are all various ages...so post something that you remember.


I remember when gas was less than $1 a gallon.

OK youngins', let's just take a little stroll down memory lane.
I grew up with 1 black and white TV, that you had to change channels by hand, ABC, NBC, and CBS. I now have 3 TV's, and one is a 46 inch Samsung DLP HD with 5000 channels of ****:) I saw Neil Armstrong step foot on the moon live. I was alive when Kennedy was shot. I saw the calculator created, computers that took up an entire office and can't hold a candle to my gaming rig. We have three in the house and two operate off of a wireless router. We have mobile phones more advanced than Star Trek thought of, if only I could beam places, I loved that show!!! We plotted graphs with a dot matrix printer, have you even heard of the relic? I have 3 color printers that produce picture quality prints. I remember when 40 was dead, and thinking I'll NEVER make it to that age(**** I'm pushing 50 and still think I'm 20), and gas was 25 cents a gallon in the seventies. :)

You won't believe what you will see in your life times!!! Have fun doing it, and don't make mountains out of speed bumps!!!! Carry on men, and women!!!

[aCiD]

I remember when Cell phones weren't all over the place and WHEN YOU could go the the movie's and watch a movie without a 12 year old talking about some type of BS shirt she got 1/2 off to some other 12 year old sitting TWO ROWS DOWN!

[waltersw15]

I remember when a TV was actually considered like a piece of furniture and when you turned it off, the screen went down to a single dot of light in the middle of the screen.

Does anybody remember why a TV remote is sometimes called a "clicker?"

[aCiD]

Because souther people dont bother saying two words for one thing "Remote control"? "clicker"

guilty

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

actually - it's because the first remote controls, created by Zenith operated by sound frequencies - they actually clicked...

[Big_ch33se]

I remember when the saints had never caught scent of the play-offs.

[BigOne]

i remember some of the great mercs from the past like madone and rpsniper

[LA_MERC_RPSNIPER]

I remember you to BigOne. I still come around some just not playing CS and never did get BF.

[waltersw15]

I remember when baseball and football cards came 15 to a pack and only cost 25 cents.

[LA_MERC_Spark]

pshhh... I remember when my uncles TRS80 with space warp and scarf man was uber l337! 16k all the way baby!!!!

[LA_MERC_Spark]

I remember watching Star Wars at the Do Drive In Theater... do drive in theaters even exist anymore?

[waltersw15]

do drive in theaters even exist anymore?

Sometimes in smaller towns, you still see them. Most likely for nostalgia purposes.


I remember when country music used to top the top 40 charts.

[waltersw15]

I remember when Michael Jackson was black.

[LA_MERC_goose]

do drive in theaters even exist anymore?
Lakewood, CO has one; two screens showing new movies too.

I remember when Nascar had Pontiacs and Dodges, that ran well every race.

[Rollout]

LMFAO Walter me too, I liked him when I was a kid and he was black !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LA_MERC_Shadow]

I remember when we actually had privacy. People couldn't get in contact with you every second of every day.

[LA_MERC_YellowDog]

I remember when we actually had privacy. People couldn't get in contact with you every second of every day.

Amen... brother...

The days before cell phones, the internet, and G.P.S.....And you could actually date somone that didnt get mad because you didn't TEXT-message, or call them when you got to work, when you go to break, go to lunch, get home, Ect... Ect...

[LA_MERC_Shadow]

I don't even carry my personal cell phone at work only my work nextel. If it's urgent then my wife/family etc can call the hospital.

What bothers me is to see 7 and 8 yo kids with cell phones. WTF?? How far is that kid going away from the house that he needs a cell phone? And I dunno but seems like a parent might want to know whose house the kid is at and who the parents are.

I also remember when we could say things like a person is retarded or black or a hundred other things that aren't politically correct.

[LA_MERC_M@lACHi]

I remember when waiting in line a the grocery stores, if the line got too long, the store would open another register....oops sorry, just got back from Wal-Mart.

[Big_ch33se]

I have a pretty extensive collection of D and D edition 3 books. All the core books and a lot of supllimental stuff. Too bad puters ruined it with their online rpgs. Nobody wants to actually get together, drink beer and play face to face anymore.

[waltersw15]

Before D&D, I remember when dice only had 6-sides.

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

I remember when you could call things as you saw them.
