A feeling/experience kids today don't have...


Just off the top of my head....

1. Having 3 channels on TV to choose from.
2. Knowing if you miss an episode of a TV show you won’t have a chance of see it again until summer rerun season.
3. Having to sit in the floor next to the phone because that’s as far as the phone chord will go.
4. The joy of Saturday morning cartoons.
5. Living with the very real possibility civilization as we know it will be obliterated in nuclear hellfire at any given moment.
6. Going to the video store on a Friday night with your friends to get movies.
7. Cruising around town, hanging out in parking lots while trying to figure out where the party will be that night.
8. The thrill of seeing the new Sears & Roebuck catalog come in the mail.
9. Going to school with a pocket knife in their pocket and nobody caring.
10. The record store or music isle being the only option if you wanted to buy an album.

Nice list, Darth. Spent many a Friday-Saturday night doing just this. Usually at Hoppers, Florida Blvd.
