Toch wel een beetje jalours :-) dat zij daar in die dikke wavespot zit.... Chilli staat zeker ook op mijn to-go lijstje.

Gefeliciteerd met de 3e plaats, Top weer!!

No cell phones??

Even voor ons 30+ veteranen......  even in een flauwe bui.

THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!

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! If 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! Also NO CELL

PHONES!! You had to call before you left, and if there was

a telephone at your destination you could call there.

All telephones had a "cord", let me explain.....the swirly cord

that's attached to the tele base and the hand held piece.

If you were rich you had a cordless, cause they cost like $50.

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 was 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 ass and walk over to the TV to change the

channel and there was no Cartoon Network either! You

could only get cart oons on Saturday Morning. Do you

hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK for

cartoons, you spoiled little whimps!

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!

Regards,

The over 30's crowd
