How about walking home with a VHS tape and nothing to hide it with. The “movie”: Debbie does Dallas.

Timing your family leaving the house so you could watch a “movie” in the loungeroom.

Kids today with their own portable devices in their bedrooms have no idea how risky it was for us.

I believe this explains why a lot of us have developed tinitis. Experts point to headphones and loud music as the cause but I theorise that out of shear survival instinct we had to develop super sensitive hearing and the ability to separate the smooth sounds of a saxophone and moaning with the distant sound of a car door or car tires pulling into a gravel driveway

There was a VHS passed around my high school, cleverly disguised with both the sleeve and sticker for the comedy classic “Airplane!” but was in fact Jenny McCarthys Playboy video. There’s enough in that previous sentence to sufficiently approximate my age haha

I’ll never forget the days of watching the image load line by line to reveal tittie

Ah the days when being on the Internet was a deliberate act rather than a passive one

Parents: why is our internet usage so high?

“I’m downloading linux ISOs” was the perfect excuse to keep my computer on all night downloading “other” stuff

I got suspended for one day for installing Simcity Classic to the Win 3.11 computers in typing class because it was so goddamn boring in there.

Teachers all acted like I was Kevin Mitnick or some shit, ready to hack the entire school system just because I know how to run a setup.exe from DOS.

That’s sort of how this was treated. My computer teacher was actually an accounting teacher who got stuck teaching computers, but she didn’t know computers. My wiseass self kept correcting her during class so she didn’t like me to begin with.
