The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

Used to play the hell out of this as a kid.0

My first computer:
8k ram, cartridge loader. I splurged and got the 410 cassette drive too:"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

I remember having to sit in front of the tv and change the channels for my old man.

I bought it for $400 cash, the drivers seat eventually broke and i held it up with a milk crate. I got 3 of my best years out of Betsy while in college...she eventually died by the highway in Hampton VA i said goodbye and abandoned her. :(
I was king with car...you had a car in school you were bad to the bone with the ladies.
Just like this one^^^^^but with a lot more dents.No 8 track, no cassettes just a radio.
Peace
good grief! my first car was the red 1972 pinto that my dad let me have after he wore it out. I put in an awesome stereo, did all the repair work myself - even had to go to the junk yard to get a new fender to put on after a small accident. we called it the Otnip (pinto backwards).All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.

My dad bought one of these babies to record home movies onto VHS back in the day... Damn thing was so big and heavy, you almost needed a camera crew to lug it around (come to think about, that's what he used me and my brother for!)Ottawa 2011

They announced this week that they will no longer be printing Encyclopedia Britannica, kinda reminded of this discussion. I was initially against digital books and such but not anymore. I use to like going to the library when I was younger and I guess the same could be said for malls, video, and record stores. But digital books are just so damn convienient that I can't resist. I suppose libraries and book stores are the next to go though I won't miss them as much as I do record stores.0

My brother had this game when we were kids:
As the story goes ( I was too young to remember)...My brother and Dad were playing and I asked if I could play. They told me no because I was too little ( I was around 3 1/2-4 at the time). My solution was if I can't play...then no one plays and I promptly bit off the nose (which of course is a light bulb). :shock:
I always wanted the game as I got older. My mom wouldn't get it for me because of the "nose incident"...I was probably 11 or 12 before she finally got it for me :?Show #13 was a lucky one for me....0
