Aw yeah, that joke will show your age!
And if you don't get the joke, you might get it on The Day After.
Took a minute for the joke to red dawn on me

There are Spies Like Us, but any help we give would be Top Secret!Who am I going to call if I can't figure the joke out?
Yes, and Risky Business, too. Which is a Weird Science, because even after your Top Gun works all the Gremlins out, there's always The New Batch. It's like The Never Ending Story...but you have to persevere, even when everything is Breakin' if you want to get Over the Top.Now were talking about the Conversation, which seems like a lot of business...

I look forward to The Shining candlelight on my Full Metal Jacket.I shall light sixteen candles before we discuss this at our next breakfast club.
It was a step up from working at a concession kiosk in a downtown office building.I was over in Europe patrolling along the old West/East german border. I did snag an Amiga personal computer though when those came out a few years later. heh

Which although we may have owned it, it ain't GenX tech as it comes after 1980ish, much in the mid and late-90s and early 00s.
The age of the people who used it matters more than when it came out, IMO.
I'd prefer to define "Generation X Tech" as that tech actually designed by Generation X, rather than that created by Boomers, who clearly didn't have our superior aesthetics....
But @Stumpydave was linking to this pic not the Atari camp:

The people who made it were thoughThanks for correcting me. Yes, those are all definitely not Gen X
All of the drugs made that. Obviously!The people who made it were though
Is it as disorienting as a time when that happens and you later learn that you didn’t understand what was going on at the time?

Give it time.I wouldn't know

I want to see a photo of the cord when the phone was put in and how amazingly long it got after 20 years.
You understand that lots of people replaced the handset cords with longer ones? They went as long as 50 feet if you knew where to find the absurd ones. My mother had one that was twenty feet on the wall phone in the kitchen.I want to see a photo of the cord when the phone was put in and how amazingly long it got after 20 years.
Oh I lived it. But my phone in the basement was leased from the phone company as an all in one. So long as we didn't modify it they dealt with any and all issues without question. So my cord was stretch friggin long but it was original!!!You understand that lots of people replaced the handset cords with longer ones?

I used to do that when raging when playing a barbarian. "Strength of the bear!"
Speaking as someone who still uses a corded phone at work. They don't always stretch. Sometimes it becomes a constricted wad of cord. That you look at and say, "How the hell did that happen. I don't move more than three feet from the phone".I want to see a photo of the cord when the phone was put in and how amazingly long it got after 20 years.
Speaking as a kid who watch three older siblings try to get a little privacy while on the phone, if it didn't stretch you weren't trying hard enough!Speaking as someone who still uses a corded phone at work.
