Back when I was a kid...

Seinfeld was on NBC and not on Re-runs "What's the deal with that ?"

Home improvement was on ABC *Grunt*

George Voinovich was governor of the state in which I was born in.

Nintendo and Sega were in fierce competition.

Ha, and it still is. 

When I was a kid, I thought conspiracy theories were reliable, credible sources of information.

lol yes I remember stumbling across various websites and little me thinking "OMG I just found some ultra-black classified stuff....better not look at it too long, they might find out...woah, people need to KNOW about this!! The Soviets contacted an alien race decades ago? American secret military bases on the moon? Victorian-era particle beams? Hitler cast magic spells during WW2? Wowowow!! Hardly anyone must know about this...it feels good to get this wool offa my eyes..."

When I was a kid, you knew stuff was fancy cause it had wood paneling on it.

[Kernel Kraken]

Wood paneling still looks good, even if it's mock wood paneling!

That exact wood-paneled model is sitting on my desk as I type. My parents bought it for me when I was a young 'un and it's still going strong. 

You may laugh, keyboard enthusiasts and mechanical pencil aficionados of the 21st century, but believe me: there is nothing as buttery smooth as a Staedtler 4B pencil sharpened to precision.

wow I actually got that.

Back in good ol' 2009 I used pencils. I now think pens are superior. No stupid sharpening. I did sorta learn how sharpeners work though which is cool I guess.
