THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!

If you are 30 or older you will think this is hilarious!!!!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears

with their tedious diatribes about  how hard things were  

when they were growing up; what with walking

twenty-five miles to school every morning ... uphill BOTH ways

yadda, yadda,  yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up,

there was no way in hell I was going to lay   

a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard I had it

and how easy they've got it!   

But now  that... I'm over the ripe old age of

thirty, I can't help but look  around and notice the youth of today.

You've got it  so easy! I mean, compared to my

childhood, you live in a damn   Utopia!   

And I hate to say it but you kids today you

don't know  how good   you've got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we  didn't have The

Internet . If we wanted to know something,  

we  had to go to the damn library and

look it up ourselves, in the   card catalog!! 

There was no email!!  We had to actually write

somebody a letter ..with a pen!    

Then you had to walk all the way across the street and

put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get  there!

There were no MP3's or Napsters! You wanted to

steal music, you had to hitchhike to  the damn record store and shoplift it yourself!   

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ'd usually talk over the

beginning and the end and @#*% it all up!

We didn't  have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you

were on the phone and   somebody else called they got a busy signal, that's it!

And we didn't have fancy Caller ID Boxes either!

When the phone rang, you

had no idea who it was! It could be your school,

your mom, your boss, your

bookie, your drug dealer, a collections agent, you

just didn't  know!!!  You had

to pick it up and take your chances,  mister!

We didn't have any fancy Sony Playstation video

games with high-resolution

3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games

like 'Space Invaders' and

'asteroids'. Your guy was a little square! You

actually had to use  your

imagination!! And there were no multiple levels or

screens,  it was just one screen

forever!

And you could never win. The game just kept getting

harder and harder and

faster and faster until you died!  Just like LIFE!

When you went to the movie theater there no such

thing as stadium seating!

All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy

or some old broad with a hat

sat in front of you and you couldn't see, you were

just screwed!

Sure, we had cable television, but back then that

was only like 15 channels

and there was no on screen menu and no remote

control! You had to use a

little book called a TV Guide to find out what was

on! You were screwed when it

came to channel surfing! You had to get off

your butt and  walk over to the TV to change the

channel and there was no

Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons

on Saturday Morning. Do you

hear what  I'm saying!?!  We had to wait ALL WEEK

for cartoons, you  spoiled

little rat-bastards!

And we didn't have microwaves, if we wanted to heat

something up we had to

use  the stove or go build a frigging fire ..

imagine that! If we wanted

popcorn, we had to use that stupid Jiffy Pop thing

and shake it over the stove

forever like an idiot.

That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids

today have got it  too easy.

You're spoiled.   You guys wouldn't have lasted

five minutes back in 1980!

Regards,

The over 30 Crowd
