Want to feel old?

[Warp Daddy]

and had a kid in 3rd yr of college and one a sr in hs in the fall of '86

 

[Dr Skimeister]

Yup, I remember that too. Plus, from that era, I remember when MTV actually played music and *most* of it was decent! And even when that wired cable box with the slider switch had no MTV or ESPN

Right about the time that video killed the radio star......

 

[YardSaleDad]

Nice list...I wonder if they have one for people like me who were born in 1979...

Remember when cable TV first came out and the remotes were on a wire attached to a box... Each station had it's own button.... Different banks of buttons were controlled by a slider switch...

If your pressed the button for the porn channel half way down and jiggled the the bank selector - you could see the picture... kinda... But in the days before internet porn... that was a BIG deal...

Friends would come over just to watch...

A friend of mine who looks alot like me told me about watching scrambled porn..:-?

Right about the time that video killed the radio star......

I graduated from HS in 86. :-o

I was born in 86'!

I graduated from college in '86!

I definitely remember 8-track tapes. My family had an 8 track recorder so we could make our own 8 track tapes. That was fun but I never thought they were better than plain old cassettes.

Both of my current cars have cassette tape decks. And they're both 2004 vehicles. I use the tape decks in those cars very often.

I also remember watching the moon landing on TV. Quite an event!

So ya think your old.
Member when gas was 25 cents a gallon and cars had 400 h.p. stock!
Didn't have COLOR TV till I was in the 5th grade.
Wolfman Jack was the late night radio DJ.
Board games were fun.
Kieth Richards was still alive.
People waved with all their fingers.
Coke was something you drank.
You actually have been to Viet Nam and made it back.
Seems like just yesteryear.:roll:

But you made me feel young.

Keith is STILL one of the best rhythm guitar players the world has seen..

Speaking of old rhythm guitar players... Bob Weir... He needs to shave that santa beard off...

 

[Terry]

i was pretty badass... i had my own 8Track recorder on my stereo...

Also had the portable 8track..
This one..

I had one of those. would play the same track over and over until you pushed the plunger. Any 8track player we had in cars never worked right. You would have to shove a match book under the tape to get it to play. One day we got drinking and took an 8track tape apart and rewound it backwards. That really screwed with your mind when you played it drunk!

 

[hardline]

the day i new i was getting older was:
i was hitting on this young little yum yum honey at a bar and were talking about tv's or tv shows and i said i remember when i ad to use the UHF knob to watch some tv stations. she looked at me with a blank stair for a second then said wasn't that a movie with wierd al. i had to explain that tvs used to have dials.

 

[AMAC2233]

I wasn't even born yet in 1986...

 

[Skier75]

Okay, I going for it....my first car I bought in 1976 was a 1969 Pontiac Bonneville convertable, light green on the bottom and white top, white vinyl seats with a 8-track and a stick shift on the floor, had V8 engine and THAT was stylin, back then...Very cool with either Heart, The Bee Gees, or Fleetwood Mac just blarin outta those speakers....... Now I've really aged myself here... but that's okay, I can live with it....
