I thought I was kind of a pimp when I got this Radio Shack phone that you could hang up anywhere by just setting the handset down. Didn't need to find the base part when you were done talking.

Radio Shack?

You must have been a goob.

I remember when my mom and dad got their first answering machine. I was already out of high school. But, it was cool as shit. Felt like we were rich.

The game changer for us was the microwave.

I still remember getting cable in 1978 and feeling like a big shot.

We had that same one hanging on the kitchen wall.

Except ours had a long ass cord so mom could clunk us in the head with the phone when my brother and I would get to fighting while she was on the phone

God damn. I first got cable in 1990. My first apartment after moving to town.

I do remember going to a friends house that had cable in the early 80’s. I thought he was the coolest MFer around.

Yeah, I had a "rich" friend when I was about 16 whose dad had gotten "satellite" TV. They had this monstrous satellite dish in their backyard. I'm talking like 5 feet across monstrous. His dad was a dentist and I thought they were the richest people I had ever known any time I would go over to his house.

Mine was a bike. I didn't get one until I was 13.

If you fucking wanted those stupid ass shoes back then that showed retardism.

In fact, this whole fucking athletic shoe fetish has mystified me since the first Jordans came out.

Every one of these we ever had we took apart to see how it worked.

I think it was a substitute for bacon, which they didn't have at the time.

My dad used to ear=t block cheese potato chips and pickles for a snack. Always seemed very odd to me as a kid. It doesn't sound as weird now.
