>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

>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 **** 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
>**** library and look it up ourselves, in the card
>catalog!!

>There was no email! ! We had to actually write somebody

>would take like a week to get there!
>
>There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had

>
>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

>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!
>
>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 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 **** and walk over to the TV to
>change the channel and there was no Cartoon Network
>either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday
>Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to
>wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little
>rat-****s!
>
>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 JiffyPop 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
