Looking at this picture makes me want to call up my dad, and remind him that he was a giant dork in the early 80's.

So were you.

No, I was pretty rad, strutting about in my red overalls like I owned the place.

Your dad was pretty dorky to dress you in that, yeah.
Renzatic on 31/8/2017 at 07:06
A. It was probably mom who dressed me
B. Don't diss my rad red overalls. I'd smack you in the mouth right now if I could.

Is that your mom on the bottom right trying to get you to eat dinner? 'Look, Renzy-poo, airplane!'

It's some random freak kid I don't remember getting all up in my territory. Probably jealous of my rad red overalls.
AND I LOVE AIRPLANE! ZOOM ZOOM YUM!

I'm so old I remember the dialup era, when it took about 10 hours to download an 8 MB file from the Internet
I remember the Internet was still in black&white.
I remember we had a 128 Kbps connection.
And before you start yelling that you had a 33 Kbps connection at home.... When I said "we had a 128 Kbps connection", I mean we: the whole country. Yep, all of the Netherlands was connected from CWI to UUnet in Fairfax via a 128 Kbps link. When that link went down we (the whole country) would be rerouted via Sweden or Spain. Which both had a 64 Kbps connection to the Internet. :) I remember doing a "host -l nl." and seeing that we had about a dozen sites in NL that were really connected to the net. (Another dozen or so only had MX records, they would get their mail via UUCP, not via a direct IP connection).

I was sat in front of a black and white tv when England won the football world cup. On the same tv watched Armstrong and Aldrin walk the moon.
Me too!
I didn't really know football but I watched and felt the excitement and remember dancing round the room when we won. Walking on the moon was the most amazing thing I had ever seen or, even now, have ever seen. I've never forgotten it - watching now still sends shivers. I would be more than bitterly disappointed if it ever turned out to be the hoax that some people say it is.
