shit had me crackin up!

If you are 30 or older, you will think this is hilarious!!!!
When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their
tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing
up; what, with walking twenty-five miles to school every
morning... uphill BOTH ways yada, yada, yada!
And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no
way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crud like that on kids
about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it!
But now that... I'm over the ripe old age of thirty, I can't help
but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so
easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a Utopia!
And I hate to say it but you kids today you don't know how good
you've got it!
I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have The Internet. If we wanted to know
something, we had to go to the library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!!
There was no email! We had to actually write somebody a
letter...with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the
street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to
get there!
There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to steal music, you had
to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself!
Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the
DJ'd usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up!
We didn't have fancy crud like Call Waiting! If you were on the
phone and somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!
And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone
rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your mom,
your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you
just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances mister!
We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video games with
high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games
like 'Space Invaders' and 'asteroids' and the graphics sucked!
Your guy was a little square! You actually had to use
your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it
was just one screen forever! And you could never win. The game just
kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died!
Just like LIFE!
When you went to the movie theatre there no such thing as stadium
seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy or some
old broad with a hat sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you
were just screwed!
Cable television what the hell is that, back then there was only like 4
channels and there was no onscreen menu and no remote control! You
had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on!
You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get
off your butt and walk over to the TV to change the channel and there
was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on
Saturday morning. Do you hear what I'm saying!?! We had to wait ALL
WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little brats!
And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat something up we
had to use the stove or go build a frigging fire.... imagine that!
If we wanted popcorn, we had to use that stupid Jiffy Pop thing
and shake it over the stove forever like an idiot.
That's exactly what I'm talking about!
You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled!!!!!!!!!
You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1980! Oh yea, and
a seatbelt was Mom throwing her arm across your chest every time
she hit the brakes.

The over 30 Crowd.....
