The Big Generation X Nostalgia Thread

[Nobby-W]

There's a public ordinance against me taking off my shirt. Does that count?

As in 'Count your blessings?' Sure.

 

[Ronin]

It sounds like people wandering around with no shirt or shoes is a thing in your area!

It kind of was. I'm in a semi rural area. Back in the day I think it was to keep the dirty hillbillies in check. (Im sure there is are health and saftey reasons for it) It kind of faded a bit. Then with the pandemic, people started being too casual/lazy and the signs started being put up again. I think the difference now is people feel entitled. They want to argue about it, and be a Karen when they dont get their way. Back the day even the most argumentative ones of our group just threw a shirt on before going into the store. Its just what you did. You were respectful. That's out the window nowadays, or it at least seems like it.

What if I have my shirt tied around my head to keep off the sun and a pair of Crocs on my hands because I'm a weirdo? Is a letter or spirit of the law kind of deal?

You'd get a well deserved slap.

Back in the day someone would blow cigarette smoke in your face.

Alright there's been too many "Back in my day's"

'Generation X nostalgia thread.' Is that not the point of the discourse?

Now get off my lawn.

No doubt.

 

[Stumpydave]

I know it's political but I've realised why I despise most of the Tory leadership candidates.

They're Millenials!

No you have to (makes air quotes with fingers) "wear them in a normal fashion".

Peak 90's

I remember the '90s.
We got both kinds! Techno and Trance.

I think you misspelled 'Bellends.'

 

[Stumpydave]

Mibellendials?

 

[Nobby-W]

Mibellendials?

Something like that.

 

[spittingimage]

Mibellendials?

Sounds like the kind of elves no-one else invited to their battles.

Like Elric of Mibellendial.

Come up and see my asteroids . . .

 

[Fenris-77]

Come up and see my asteroids . . .

Said the man in the white panel van...

 

[The Convenient Skill]

Come up and see my asteroids . . .

Looks more like they're checking out his haemorrhoids.

I think the guy in the striped top has just learned what puberty is all about

So related to this my dad came over with a box he found in the garage. It contained
1) my old D&D action figures (barbarian, wizard, dwarf -leg, and some evil snake paladin)
2) various star wars action figures,
3)Muppets Lunch Box
4) Star Wars Bubble gum trading cards
5) my old Space, Police & Castle Legos.
6) hot wheels in various states of decay.
7) Stamps from a brief flirtation with stamp collecting in the mid 70s.
8) X Men John Byrne large Pins.
9) various key chains, knives, junk

I'm having fun sorting the Legos to see which sets I can rebuild with the pieces I have.

I forgot it also had the Outdoor sports van, tv station camera and various action figures for Adventure People. Also AJ Foyt driver in the same scale as the Adventure People.

When the family first discovers two girls, one cup

Wait a minute...Sonic released on the Genesis in 1991...it didn't get a DOS port until 99! And it didn't look anywhere near that good in the port, even with the crappy scan quality.

Plus, that's a Genesis controller badly edited in under that kid's keyboard hands! But the game is playing on his PC monitor!

THIS COVER IS NOTHING BUT LIES!

 

[The Convenient Skill]

They've obviously edited the PC screen, I think they've clearly hidden the 'home videos' of one of their parents given the reactions

When the family first discovers two girls, one cup

I've never actually seen Two Girls, One Cup. When I first heard about I was like Meh, Not into scat.

Never personally seen it or Goatse either. Got tricked into Tubgirl from a link on an RPGnet review, and that was enough to make me lose my lunch.

I remember seeing Goatse back in the 1990s or so when it was the rickroll of its day. Pretty sure I've seen Tubgirl at some point as well, although I can't remember when.

If I remember right, the Tubgirl link was in a FATAL review? It got me too, but the shock image was so absurd to me, even after Goatse, it took a moment for the image to set in, cushioning my sanity and giving me time to close it.

 

[Brock Savage]

I am lucky and have never viewed any of those gross Internet rickrolls but I am aware of them.

 

[Bunch]

Well now I've seen all three. Probably shouldn't have but I was 2/3 and felt I should know my memes.

If you're a media history buff, you know exactly how big a deal this rediscovered episode is:

 

[Endless Flight]

I forgot it also had the Outdoor sports van, tv station camera and various action figures for Adventure People. Also AJ Foyt driver in the same scale as the Adventure People.

I had this as a kid. 1979. Foyt was always my favorite driver.
