Thought this might be a cool topic for us stoners of age, or even for our younger conhorts. It doesn't even have to be about weed. Tell us about something you "Remember When"... Remember when: 1.) Homegrown weed was the shittiest tasting, harshest, worst packaged, and most God-awful smelling weed in the entire world? Circa 1960's - 1970's... 2.) You had to use Zig Zag, or regular roll-your-own cigarette papers to roll your weed up? Circa 1950's - 1960's... (Way before glass, vaporizors, or all the myriad of ways you can toke up now!) 3.) A hoe was something you used in the garden to clear out, clean up, and bust up the soil? Circa not too long ago... 4.) The ONLY way to play your own music was on a turntable using vinyl record albums? Circa 1970's and before... What do you guys remember?
i remember all the chicks having giant bushes in pornos i also remember having to jam a matchbook into my 8-track player so it would play properly.
ROFLMAO, August! Aren't razors the shit! LOL... Yea, I remember the eight track matchbook trick. I had a 442 that had a dash rattle, and I used the matchbooks to stop the rattle. Only took eight books, LOL...
Im not really old at all but i remember... 1. When mullets were cool. 2. Playing N64 for hours on end. 3. Rollerblading. 4. Cell phones bigger than your head. 5. 99 cents for a gallon of gas. 6. When the Cowboys were actually a contender... (I know, its hard to believe) 7. Those kickass Saturday morning cartoons (Ren n Stimpy, Thundercats, and Bevis and Butthead haha) lol thats all I got. Seems like just the other day
When 'high end' bongs were made out of plastic or acrylic. When the best smoke was imported from Mexico, Thailand, and Colombia rather than grown domestically. I could go on and on.
when i had a report due for school and actually had to go to the library to read a book and xerox copies on that giant monstrosity of a copy machine.. that always jammed all the paper.
I remember when it was cool to have T Tops in your car and a huge car stereo! I had a Nissan Pulsar with about 10 Grand in stereo equipment and I would enter it in Car Audio Competitions in Montana!

With the CORD and all...A "CAR PHONE"....I had one of those, and boy was I ever the coolest bitch on the block! Good Times...
Remember BETA videos lol... I also remember my commodore 64 were I had to pop in a game on a tape cassette and then go have my dinner or whatever while it loaded lol
I remember having to memorize phone numbers and using a home phone to call people before cell phones got popular
Pagers and finding payphones you could drive up to (cord through the window). I was always way to lazy to actually walk to the phone to call someone back
I remember when the original Nintendo Entertainment System was the best $100 you could spend... And playing Atari before that shit came out... Also, The Legend of Zelda was one of the hardest games around. I remember when a computer running at 100mhz was FAST! And when 28.8kbps modems were state of the art, lmao. And also, when said computer with 100mhz processor, 32mb RAM, and a 2GB hard drive cost $10,000 (anyone else remember the 80/88's?). I also remember when floppy drives were 5.xx inches (forget exactly how big - just know they were 5" or so). I remember Windows 3.1, and how Microsoft revolutionized the computer world with Windows 95. Haha, anyone remember the days of dialing "*69" to figure out who just called you (this was before caller ID)?
Windows Mellenium Edition was the worst operating system in the history of forever. Sega Dreamcast. aahaha. the beastie boys used to be awesome.

I remember reality-tv-free TV and music videos on MTV. I remember when movies were original and the only trilogy was Star Wars for film and Lord of the Rings for books. I remember the cola wars between pepsi and coke. I remember when coffee was called 'coffee' and was the ONLY 'energy drink'
Remember when they tried to scare you about paraquat being sprayed onto your pot? Remember when Watergate interrupted your viewing of the Brady Bunch? Remember when Pong was a high tech video game. Remember when nazis didn't smoke weed? Remember when food tasted like food and not corn syrup, or was not full of soy products? Remember your parents telling you to sit 6ft away from the TV so you wouldn't ruin your eyesight. . . .
