Almost every sentence starts with "they use to"

When you start yelling at the dam neighbor kids to get off your grass.

I had this. Spent Sunday nights recording Dr. Demento. Trying to make music tapes and hoping the dj doesn't talk over the song.

Yes, I still have them, not on cassette though. Actually I have all of my old cassettes somewhere. I have to look for them, but what am I going to play them on?
Pencil neck geek, Barnes &Barnes, Tom T-bone Stankas, Stu Dave & Hank. All before Weird Al's my bologna.

When six million dollar man first aired we would all run around at school in slow motion. Must have looked like all the boys were on drugs.

I was at magic mountain when it opened. I was able to ride the revolution when it opened that day. Fun times.

I haven't been back in probably 25 years. I had a friend that worked as a waitress at the restaurant across from the log jam.

Use to love spin out. Closed often due to cleaning up all the barf.

Don't forget rollercoaster

All I wanted was a banana board with chicago trucks and urethane wheels but my parents bought me a wooden board with clay from toys r us. I was so upset. This was early 70s

Billy Barty, Meet him and got an autograph when I went to watch them film Sigmund & the Sea Monsters. Before the set fire.

I still have my skates. My rink was Northridge Skateland. Used them a few years ago.

I bought mine while in college. I think they are rydell boots or something like that, yellow wheels. Tuesday night was adult night and then Black Angus for pitchers of kamikazes. Love that fast forward and advance backward to spirit in the sky.

I remember spending hours watching scrambled ontv just incase I could make out a nipple.

Every time you fall requires surgery. Now getting sixth rotator cuff.

I did my left 20 years ago due to skiing. We'll not really skiing, but falling. The right a few years later for the same. Guess I'm better at falling while skiing than skiing. Good thing I wear helmet. Had to do the right again a few years after that. Then there was nothing left to repair so I had a cadaver flap. Turns out, it was too thin. Then all that's left is a shoulder replacement. But during covid an experimental balloon was developed and I was the first in my city. Two years later all's good on the right. But with all the problems over the years on the right the left gave out. They wanted to operate back in April and I said no. 9 months to year recover sucks. The balloon was 1 month. But falling on the ice in my driveway was pretty bad and now there is an urgency to get it done with a thicker cadaver flap since the balloon will not work with what I have left. So, on to the next surgery.

I thought they still do. But then again I haven't had one in 30 years. I remember going on a school field trip to the hostess factory and getting them free back around 1970.

I took a "clicker" apart when I was kid to see how it works. There were different size metal posts with a spring around it and a strike plate. I figured the frequency created by the different lengths of rods did different things. Since, when my dog would run around the room the jingling of his tags would change the channel.

That made me laugh.

Watching this live.
