Facts illustrating how long Giggs has played for ManU

quote:

Giggs made his professional debut on March 2, 1991 at the age of 17. This means that the start of his career predates these things that also happened that year:

1 The end of the Warsaw Pact in July (look it up, kids)
2 Comedy Central’s launch on April 1
3 The end of Apartheid in South Africa
4 The debut of Sonic the Hedgehog
5 The dissolution of the Soviet Union
6 Magic Johnson’s announcement that he was HIV positive
7 The death of Freddie Mercury


quote:

Of course, because he debuted in 1991, Giggs has also been around longer than things like:

1 The Internet (which later became “the internet”)
2 The Pentium processor
3 The widespread availability of cell phones
4 Application of the name “Generation X” to Generation X
5 The East Coast-West Coast Hip Hop rivalry
6 The Sony Playstation
7 Ren and Stimpy
8 Absolutely Fabulous
9 The Premier League



long career. congrats to the man

It blows my mind that he made his debut well before that huge United youth team class

He was playing real soccer while David Beckham was playing in United's academy

Roy Keane was hanging out with Brian Clough when Ryan Giggs made his 1st team debut

I wonder if there is a list of current players who started before the establishment of the Premier League. Or hell, a list of active players in 2007 or something.

Ryan Giggs, I hate you.






But--damnit--do I respect you.

That's an eye opener, because there's probably a fair amount of posters who can't recall life pre-internet.

Back in those woebegone days when women had lush forrests of pubes and music cost something

This era doesn't seem to have much appeal when you put it that way.

frictionless, skin-slapping 'giners are almost as important as The Internet.

I am sure someone has written a column about this before, but it would be interesting to take a look at all the things the Internet has radically changed in Western society. And I don't mean things like email or the ability to find information in a matter of seconds.

I am most definitely referring to things like women get bikini waxes

pornographically speaking?

cumming on women's faces
