It seems like I remember seeing a similar one of these last year, but I thought this one was pretty funny.

Lots o' good stuff. This is actually my 30th year, here in Canada. I can still remember coming over from Germany. It's hard to believe it's been soo long... sighs...

Actually, Ronn, I know about quite a bit of the things that mentioned. I blame it ont he enormous amount of nostalgia YOUR generation has and its effect on television programs! [img]tongue.gif[/img] ;)

roflmao, though I was not born in 74.......

I've seen that before... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Had to be done. :D

Nice little tid-bits thanks. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I agree with Dron/Drew. I know most of this stuff from T.V. and I was kind of pleased with the whole Cd's were made teh year i was born thing. thats kool. I always Knew 86 Ruled! YEAHEAH! - James Hetfeild.

I thought I'd point out a few things..

>Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.

Still not true.

>They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.

Also untrue, some people born after 86 have seen the classics

>They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.

Oirk, I think.. Makes your statment unture..


>McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.
>
>They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.


I remember McD's comming in Styrofoam.


I can use a typewriter.


And I've still got a TV that has no remote.


just to shoot a few hole's though your sweeping generalisations.

1983

<Span style="color: lightblue">Last I checked, some McDonald's things still cam in styrofoam...

Dude. It's a joke, don't be lame. Of course they are generalisations, of course they are not the one and only absolute truth that applies to everyone. I do not really fall in the category myself (born in 1980) yet I remember most of the things listed. So what - it's a joooooke. For laughing. Humour. Y'know? ;)
