in Chit-Chat
Talk about something you remember from the past in regards to pop culture.
It could be anything in the realm of sports, news, politics, slang, technology, fashion/clothes, and entertainment (such as music, TV series, movies, comics, video games).
It could be something you grew up with as a kid, or something from the past that appealed to you.

    I really miss but fondly remember the muscle memory that went into playing a gameboy. Like my fingers knew exactly what to do even when I wasn't paying attention during super mario

    Kids are into buying vinyl these days. Although I don't know why you'd want to listen to Beyonce's "Lemonade" on a record player you bought at Urban Outfitters.

    I totally agree. I'd rather have better sound quality from a cd or download.

    I do have A LOT of vinyl albums you can't find on cd or are downloadable tho. Not sure what to do with them.

    I think some genres sound better on vinyl. Have you checked to see how much your records are worth? You just may hit the jackpot on a few.

    I've always thought being on a show like "Survivor" or "Fear Factor" or "The Amazing Race" would be a lot of fun...but I couldn't eat bugs

    for some amazing reason mfp wont let me edit my post to say "I couldn't knowingly eat bugs" 'cause I'm sure we actually do all the time (tiny bugs, food colouring bugs, etc.)

    I miss when porn movies actually had a plot

    like the plumber was coming over to? Work with pipes? I think I saw that one when I was a kid.

    Thing is, he never finished the repair on the sink.

    What kind of plumber just leaves the house with a leaking sink ?

    That movie should have ended with the girl reporting him to the Better Business Bureau.

    When the King of England told Jim Thorpe that he was the greatest athlete in the world, Thorpe said, "Thanks, king".

    One of my favorite shows when I was a kid was In Search Of... with the late Leonard Nimoy. I was eleven and mesmerized by every episode. ESP, ghosts, Stonehenge, Bigfoot, biofeedback to name a few. Now I know why I'm so odd.

    Believe it or not, true music aficionados can tell the difference between music on vinyl vs cds. I had a neighbor who was completely blind. He was a piano tuner by trade. We'd have long discussions of how the reproduction methods don't compare between the two. It had to do with the compression and rate of speed not being the same. I took his word for it.

    This was my favorite show when I was a kid. I was obsessed with the unexplained and supernatural. I think I read every book in our school library on ghosts and UFOs and the like.

    Also, Leonard Nimoy's dad was my grandfather's barber.

    Me too. My mother was always asking me why I wanted to read that nonsense :)
    That must have been so interesting to have heard some of those barber shop stories. I'm sure Leonard Nimoy's dad was proud and the stories were fascinating.
