Nothing like the weight of an old bakelite(sp) rotary phone. You could kill a mofo with one of those.

The BMX did in the banana seat era.

Those who don't know what the banana seat is are probably younger than 45.

Hah. I remember that as kids. But we were either too stupid to think of moisture tight storage (or too scared to steal some Tupperware from our parents) so they would always go to ruin pretty quickly.

Good one. It's been years for me. Everything's digital now and if you want a physical copy you can just print it out. No more Photo-mats.

Tried my first snowball last night. Was gross. Don't know how women stand the taste of that stuff. My GF said it would be hot, but it was just gross. Never again.

I miss those days. I always enjoyed flipping through old family photo albums. My kids don't even know what it's like to hold a photo. I think it's kind of sad.

Just a few years ago, phone was built for it.


Could've pegged someone in the head with it from 20 yards then used it to call an ambulance. Was a solid phone.

Snowballs are not exactly a thing of the past.

All of those other things, at least 25 years ago.
