Remember when...?

Remember when airplanes had seatback TVs?

Now they have wifi.

 

Remember when we'd go to block buster?

I miss block buster videos, damn red boxes.

 

I don't like sending email from my iphone.

but it's funny to me cause i had to send an email from my work email and i wasn't at work today.

cool story i guess.

 

Remember when you'd have to sneak in a knock off p*rn CD into your house and hope your parents don't catch you.

Now you can stream for free on HD at your convenience. Jontro knows what's up

 

Remember when connecting to a BBS meant listening to a modem handshake.

 

I put that in the same category as pizza buffets, once they seemed awesome, but now you just realize there are more, better options out there with a lot less kids. I made a habit of going to Blockbusters in the crappier parts of town, because they were older and more likely to have stuff like Electric Horseman; New York, New York or Five Easy Pieces, instead three whole walls of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and the complete works of Dominique Swain.

 

Video City was my local place when I was a kid. I remember the plastic VHS cases, I remember the crazy B-movies I'd look at just because the covers were cool (see the 80's movie thread). There was this "door" in the back that had a couple of black blankets as a barrier. I was not allowed to go back there.

 

Remember when Glen Rice was a Rocket?

 

Remember when we had Lowry, Martin, Parsons, Patterson, and Dalembert?

Actually, if you fly Virgin America, they still have seatback TVs (or I guess they'll more like rigid tablets- but it's still nice).

 

Red Boxes will be gone within a few years too.

 

i remember churning butter. yum

 

Just like MySpace?

 

Remember when cars just had AM radios?

 

Nobody remembers that.

I do remember when you could fix your own car and change your own oil.

 

Remember when Ronaldinho was in his prime?

Football will never see another dancer like that.

Remember when we all thought we were going to win the series after Parsons hit that reverse layup?

Spoiler

 

Remember when Rick Rolled and Gangnam Style were the biggest things on Youtube?
