They never did, you just have access to contradictory information now.

we need more commercials of white people eating toast for 30 seconds, that's all I know, back from when we were a real country


This cereal is an important part of a complete breakfast. *shows photo of bowl of cereal, toast, eggs, bacon, fruit, milk, and orange juice*



My word that was insane. I'd forgot all about that. No wonder obesity is America's religion.

What about current fast food commercials that show their 5000 calorie meal and a classic Coke glass?

Back to topic, I worked in a computer room in the 80's where co-workers smoked and even into around 1990 where they smoked in cubes.

The good thing about the 70's was that people used their car ashtrays. And like my stepdad, emptied them at stoplights.

The latest Starter Set uses pregen characters and art based on the cartoon.

I miss late night comedy being funny. Now it's just low brow democrat talking points presented by a political hack under the guise of comedy. It's not funny. It's pure crap!

I bought the mid 80s monster manual a few years back at a comic book store just to have it on the shelf.

Agree, I really miss David Letterman throwing stuff off the top of the building

agreed. late night has been absolutely ruined. Letterman burned out, Conan faded away. Now we're just left with people who are more political than a Berkley freshman liberal arts major.

Agreed, I hate that many of the late night shows have become commentary and not pure comedy. Conan was the last that left that **** out. Ferguson? Colbert's format is a preachy beating. Politics has infested everything, including Texags - but able to filter that out here and still enjoy all the good stuff.

Another great bit of Letterman's was when he would work the drive through at a fast food restaurant. May be my favorite bit of his.

He had that guy do all sorts of stuff.

On the other hand, a lot of the mentally ill wear red hats these days, so they're easier to spot.

I know right, those people are so obviously encouraged and egged on by society. All the incentive structures are there for those people.

There were a bunch of them wearing pink hats that looked like female genitalia a couple years back. They all seemed completely stable.

I remember when the airlines had a smoking section in the back of the planes, as if that really made much difference. At least people behaved for the most part.

I remember flying from San Francisco to Japan on TWA in the 1980s, and we sat in the non-smoking section.

I have a vague memory of my early flights being on a southwest plane with seats that faced backwards. Toddler me thought that was great.

The backward seat sections were great fun on late afternoon business flights. Almost as good as being at the airport bar.

I don't leave the house without my iPhone. I love it. Yet, a big thing I miss about the 80s and 90s is the freedom from the iPhone. It's been as big of a culture changer as air travel.


My middle son says he's going to get a land line and answering machine and cancel his cell phone so people will leave him alone when he's out doing stuff.

You do realize that FREEDOM AINT FREE was a troll account, don't you? Hook, line, sinker...

Besides, if I really hated America, I'd probably be more upfront about it, like maybe desecrating the Capitol Building or trying to overthrow our democracy.

The worst was when offices made all smoking occur only in the breakroom. Afterwards, 5 minutes in there meant instant lung cancer.
