Back in my day, which was really back in the day because i'm not some boohoo teenager ...

Back in my day we use to only have two tv stations. We also only had two tv's, only one was colour. Which worked out fine considering Dr Who wasn't in colour anyway.

Back in my day, we always had 40 cents on us in case we had to call our parents from a pay phone, because even if we did have a "mobile" phone, we didn't feel like pushing it around in a wheelbarrow.

back in my day 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 catalog!! 

There was no email. We had to write letters...with a pen! Then you had to walk down the street and put it in the mailbox, and it would take a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents.

Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to beat us if we got out of line.

Back in my day, transformers where neon, AND THAT THE WAY I LIKED IT.

Back in my day, fashion trends were dirty flannel, denim, and skipping a few showers, NOT guys in makeup.

Back in my day, cartoons where no less then 30,000 times more awesome then they are today.

Back in my day, we boght the whole damn tape, not picking nd choosing songs from iTunes (then again, music was of better quality. A whole tape was awesome rather then one or two good tracks padded with filler.)

Back in my day, Transformers was on every day! And so was GI Joe! And Robotech! And Jem! And My Little Pony! And there were cartoons all Saturday morning too!

Back in my day, This was the state of the art video game system.

Back in my day, we had realistic toy guns, and jarts, and all sorts of "dangerous" toys, and we liked it!

Back in my day saying you bought the latest Sonic game was said without sarcasm, and was not met with people attempting to stifle their laughter.

Back in my day, there were 151 Pokemon, and only a couple of them were any good.

Back in my day, a game like Doom was scary. Seriously, look at this. We were afraid of that.

Back in my day, English localization of Anime included heavy westernization and lowest-bidder voice acting.

Back in my day, if the glove didn't fit, you must acquit.

Back in my day, Power Rangers were the most amazing thing to ever grace TV. Seriously, sweet martial arts, giant robots, and the best theme song ever.

Back in my day, there was less Hayden Christensen in Star Wars. There was also less Natalie Portman, though, proving that nothing's perfect.

Wow...

Back in my day, commercials during TV shows lasted 60 to 90 seconds.

Back in my day, "reality TV" consisted of COPS and Jerry Springer.

Back in my day, stamps cost 22 cents.

Back in my day, the Chicago Bulls were the champs. Every year.

Back in my day, gasoline cost 84 cents per gallon.

Back in my day, a "social network" was the bar on the corner or a weekend family get-together.

Back in my day, TSA didn't shove the Hubble telescope up your ass when you got on an airplane.

Back in my day, when you heard "tweet" it was followed by "I thought I taw a puddy tat."

Back in my day, NASCAR was fun.
