But racism's so bad!!
Nononono, you're totally misunderstanding. Racism is just fine. Being called a racist is the worst thing ever.
Also, teh gays don't understand that "gay" doesn't really mean "gay", and women make shit up all the time. What's wrong with you, can't you take a joke?
You first worlders, with your fancy schmancy three channels
Yeah, and when the picture went out because a branch fell on the wire that led from the antenna to the house, Daddy had to go walk the line up the hill to find where the break was so he could nail it back up.
(true story, in the hills where we were you had to get a clear line of sight up high, and the antenna on the house only got Channels 4 and 5. Channel 2 came in on the antenna up by the water tank that was fed by the spring that was our only source of water. Aw, life in the borderlands of the Appalachians.)

We have that now with our cars and non-HD tv! But no kids to bitch about it.
GL 4eva!!!
Some of the storylines from the late 70s, man. SO good.
I remember when we didn't have a VCR *or* cable! And when a girl whose dad was a dentist got a fancy schmancy beta tape player, and we all oohed and ahhed.
