THE SPOILED UNDER-30 CROWD!!!

someone emailed this to me and would like to share it with you all

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 @#*% 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 ass 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

(Send this to someone you'd like to make smile,

whether they are under

30 o r not.)
