When the Cartoon Network played cartoons. ("Honey I shrunk the Kids" is _not_ a cartoon.)

When MTV, you know, "Music TeleVision," used to actually play music.

I'm sure there's plenty more.

I remember when rock was young
Me and Suzie had so much fun
holding hands and skimming stones
Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own
But the biggest kick I ever got
was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock
While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock
we were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock

hell, my sr. year of high school wasn't that long ago and it only cost us less than 10 bucks to fill the buick back then.

I miss that

I remember a time when...

I got full service (people who pumped your gas, cleaned windows, checked fluids) gas for 89 cents a gallon.

When cell phones were as big ass things.

Vinyl records.

Damn, I'm old!

He's not lying, he's just very old. Old enough to remember when mcDuffies himself had only 1000 posts.

No one else is that old. Just him.

I remember when I would climb trees. Seems silly now but it was fun.

I remember when English anime dubs didn't require majoy restructuring of overarching plotlines.

Vorticus · Post by **Vorticus** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 5:30 pm

I remember when no one knew what Anime was. Or Jackie Chan movies for that matter.

I don't believe I've heard the story behind that. Care to share?

I remember when kids' cartoon series didn't try being angsty, teenage pieces of cr*p.
Oh, and when the animated version of Batman was allowed to be all dark and violent.
