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

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]

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
