Things that happened when you were 10 and 8 ruined everything?Graduated from high school in 2008. I was non-existent on the internet prior to that.
I still use a flip phone in 2024. **** smart phones.
Not having responsibilities. Now I have to pay taxes.
Columbine and 9/11 ruined everything
These jackets were great:
They’ve started replaying OG modern Marvels again from time to time. Quality level on a new TV is pretty bad thoughPreface - This is from when I lived in Ogden (I think roughly age 8-18) so 1990-2000ish. I met and started dating my wife in 1998 (age 16), got married in 2004, and have been together ever since.
- Pizza Hut in Boone - good environment and back then the pizza was consistently cooked (all the way, actually raised bread, etc).
- Golden Corral in Boone - had a big variety and food was decent.
- Starter Jackets - Had Eagles, Packers, and of course Iowa State.
- Eastbay Magazine - I read it religiously even though I never played a single sport more than a year.
- Scotcheroos at the Ogden grocery store - legit best I've ever had.
- Ames Mall - spent tons of time there, the video/pc game store was good, went through a Buckle stage, went to probably a hundred movies between the two theatres.
- Riding bike and then moped thousands of miles every summer.
- Swimming pool at High School in Ogden.
- Once I had a car at 15, driving 120mph on the backgroads between my girlfriend's house in Boone and our's in Ogden because I was late getting home late at night.
- The OG "Modern Marvels" on History Channel (How It's Made is still on after 24 years and still great).
- TLC actually being about science instead of the crap reality and romance shows it's been for the past 15 years.
- ZDTV/TechTV with Leo Laporte and others.
- Movies 12 in Ames - my wife (then girlfriend) and I went to probably 3 movies a week every week from 1998 to 2004.
I mean guys got a point when it comes to flip phones for some reasons.I get some people under 40 are "old souls", but don't go full boomer.
You just liked this song..I'm not a huge country music fan but a lot of the country music of the late 80's to 90's was really good.
I honestly don't think I ever saw a man drink it. Women loved it, but I never touched it.Very eloquently stated but I'm going to slightly dispute your point. Zima was like the long reliever. You're down early and don't have anywhere else to turn so you bring in Zima to give you a few innings. Hopefully, the team rallies and you can bring in a stud later in the game (Somebody shows up with real beer. Not that Bud Light is real beer but you get my drift).
Having one bottle of Zima around is a cool thing. Terrific conversation piece.
I got hired at Pizza Hut because of the anticipation of increased sales due to the Bigfoot pizza
and then they made a movie about it . . . . .When I was in little league we were pretty bad. The next year, after winning one game, my dad said he would buy our team a Bigfoot pizza for each win we had. We went 7-3 so a good time was had by all at the end of the season.
You just liked this song..
Younger people have no idea what a revolution Napster was. It used to be if you liked a song, you had to buy a whole cd and it didn’t matter if there was one good song and 11 bad ones. I went crazy when file sharing came out and had around 3k songs. We had all of our computers in our college house connected by LAN with a laptop plugged into our stereo. All of the roommates songs available to blast at any time. A home made jukebox. It was almost unheard of back then.Napster downloads came along almost immediately after Netscape Navigator made it possible, Red Dog and other ice beers, CDs still came in the long boxes, everyone on campus was wearing a leather bomber jacket and wanted the long sleeve ISU knit polo shirts that the guys who gave the campus tours were wearing.
But most of all, the 90's were tied to the emergency of grunge and alternative music, and the resurgence of country music radio.
