Teenager? I don’t think I’ve had a big mac in 45 years. I do confess to having a quarter pounder with cheese two weeks ago. I ordered with the girls at work but Mickey Ds was out of my south west grilled chicken salad.

Holy shit! Remember the first video games? Was pong the one that you hit the ball back and forth across the screen?

THIS was one of the classics!!!

You are one of the rare few that know what this game. I salute you sir, as a fellow survivor.

Great green globs of greasy, grimy gopher guts,
Mutilated monkey meat,
itty bitty birdie feet,
french-fried eyeballs rolling down the street.
A meal without a spoon.....

Get off my lawn, kid!!!!!

Is that the politically correct name?

You know you're old when:

you enjoyed going to the midnight movie. I think they were like four or five different movies that rotated. Pink Floyd the wall, heavy-metal, & Rocky horror picture show are the three that come to mind. Complemented by peppermint schnapps!
