I'm old enough to remember that everywhere you looked, you didn't see people fiddling on their fucking smartphones, desperately trying to avoid human contact.

On the street, in school, on the bus, in bars...barf.

I used to never wear a watch, it was nicer to ask a stranger on the street. Gone are the days.

I don't wear a watch, either. Everywhere I look, people have their necks craned downwards or have shit plugged in their ears and a grouchy, pinched face. I can't even ask people for the time now because I fear they'll snap at me. "Don't you have your own phone?!"

I do that...when a stranger asks me for the time I'm thinking they're testing the waters to rob me

"Not the Mama!"

:fullofwin:

I'm old enough... to be your father.

Referred to someone as Polkaroo the other day. They didn't know what that was and it was difficult to explain.

In honour of Chapters in Richmond closing... 1996 Video Game Catalog PDF

Full 1996 Catalog PDF (wow those toys, right in the nostalgia feels). I probably have at least a dozen different items from this catalog alone.

Edit: Jesus video games were expensive back then... $90 for Power Rangers on Genesis?!

lol, Consumers. Filling out that form so they could find your items in the warehouse.

That's awesome. I remember bussing down to the north van CD with my brother and he bought an NES. Had no idea at the time what it was...but man did I love that purchase.
