Stop Drop and Roll practice.

I was born in 1990. My first truck was a hunter green and tan ford bronco with a short bed and 3 on the tree. I sure loved that bench seat back in high school. Some of the girls didn’t love that truck, but their moms and grandmas sure did.

I remember when you had to Ask Jeeves before google. If you want to throw a wrench in someone’s day under 25, just tell them to ask Jeeves.

Drove a 79 Ford in high school. Dad bought it brand new and it was in mint condition the day I started driving it. Went to school in a farm town and a fair amount of the kids my age were driving dads hand me down Dmax. By hand me down, I mean they were 2-4 years old on average. Generally, they had rims and tires and in good shape. I will admit that I was jealous of many.

The part that made me laugh. All the girls flocked to them because they had "good looking pickups," You asked most of the boys "who had the best looking pickup?" Most would say Corb did.

This is weird. It is your meme is ancient. Is the joke just that millennials are too young to remember? Because I am firmly a millennial and I'm not young. I'm 37. I own a house and take care of my parents and have a career and all the stuff that adults do. And I do remember most of this stuff anyway. It's like saying that Baby Boomers are too young to remember World War 2. Well, yeah. They came after that, but they aren't young.

And weren't eight tracks the contemporary and inferior technology to cassettes anyway? I've also never watched a laserdisc.

Its supposed to be a joke, but some people don't have humor.

It brings back things from the past that haven't been a thing for 30 years.


Lighten up Francis.

Channel surfing in it's infancy

We only had three channels so surfing didn't take long....

And high beam switch on the floor stomp.

So backwards of today.


I really miss bench seats too.

Loved the high beam floor switch. Just don't armor-all the vinyl bench seat without wearing the lap belt!
Don't forget the floor vents that blew dust up into your face.

 

[Turkeygetpwnd38]

Maybe they dont have one.

Probably why they did away with the crotch vent around the same time

My brother and I had respect for firearms so my dad trusted me to use his .22 rifle to shoot rats coming out of the wood pile from the side hay drop door in our hay barn and to eradicate the horse barn of barn swallows with bird shot. I didn't dare touch any other gun unless he was around. I think it was an old Stevens. My mom has it hanging on the wall of her living room with deer heads now.

My first one; a near death experience every time I used it.

Know what every one of those pics are
Born in 70
Learned to drive as soon as I could reach pedals and still see over the dash on a "3 on the tree" early model Bronco. Spent lots of time in dad's lap steering long before that as long as we were not on the highway

Dad called these "widowmakers" and his hunting buddy had a trip to the ER when a piece of one went through his leg as it slipped down a pine tree

I mean, it's your joke, and it's all good. But, did you read what I wrote about being 37 years old? And I'm not an old millennial either. I'm a smack-dab-in-the-middle millennial. I remember stuff that is 30 years old, because 30 years ago I was 7 years old. That little picture wheel thing in the bottom left was sold as a toy for kids. I personally probably owned one of those when I was 7 years old.
Observations that are true make for better comedy.

8 tracks were awesome technology till they weren’t, same for laserdisc’s and cassettes

Yes, but I think its still lost on you.

It's not saying you won't recognize them, some will, some won't.

Be happy you can identify as a non-millenial.


Im actually a millennial myself, was crushing when I found out, im in the first month of it.

But I choose to laugh instead of getting worked up.
Personally I think thats a healthy trait.


Infact, I was lately told its "mature coping" (laughing rather than harping on bad) however immature I may personally think it is.

It freaks out young people when I tell stories about junior high school in the 1970s. Some of the teachers put together turkey shoots in the school gymnasium with 22 short rifles. One of them must of liked old gallery rifles since there was one old Remington semi auto (like a butt fed Browning) that was made for shorts and a dozen others of all shapes and actions that would feed the little cartridges. A piece of sheet metal was leaned up against the wall, a stack of hay bales for something to put the sheet of plywood with targets against. We shot from mid court and the bleachers behind the firing line would be half full of onlookers.

Schools should still be doing that. lol

I told a kid I was giving a ride to in my old jeep he can dim the lights by touching the radio so he tried it a few times, then I dimmed them a few times by pulling on my ear and it was the coolest thing he ever saw. lol

I’m glad someone explained his one. I couldn’t decide if it was a wilderness toilet or a puritan punishment device…or perhaps some wildly deviant sex toy?

We always used black nylon fishing line. Crappie, catfish, bass, walleye, blue gill, and everything else.

 

[Grassymike]

I once wiped my ass with a chunk of crusted snow I broke off a snowbank on a January archery mule deer hunt. Does that count?

 

[Grassymike]

Yeah , and you got some of the old and some of the new..... Right
