I’m this old

I remember the original packaging that had the sea monkey with the hot rack on it.

 

[RockHardKP]

When schools taught Reading, Writing, & Arithmetic

 

[Lovethefox]

When the Blackboards were black and made of slate

And the chalk screeched

Cap guns, cereal box football cards, clackers, teather ball.

Cap gun tape it was red. A real football.

OMG. I remember finishing a test and realizing the number on the scan didn't match the number of the last question.

The girl you fancied doing tombola against the wall with a tennis ball

I was a tether ball champ in 5th grade, 1984!!

The Pizza Hut I used to go to with my best friend had a juke box. Every time right before we would leave the restaurant, we would put in two dollars for 8 plays. We selected Meat Loaf’s “I Would Do Anything For Love” for all 8 plays. And we would just walk out, wondering how long it went before someone turned it off.

I heard a comedian who did something similar but was clever enough to stay and watch the reactions. I always wished I had that foresight. I never knew quite how annoying I was.

I still do this with Ween’s HIV song but mostly redneck sports bars but I dont walk out.
