Your husband might be, but penises are not.

I miss daytime talk shows with male strippers.

I also miss having savings.

Tower Records ( I literally used to spend HOURS there)

pagers (could easily say "Hey...I couldnt get to a phone" Cant get away with that with a cell phone)

LSD (cant do that shit anymore...but boy do I miss it)

Saturday morning cartoons

Videotapes, bunch of bright electronic-looking colors, old school hiphop, music videos, 80s way of life...

The old reel to reel film projector at school and the films on plastic reels. At primary school we would have film time 1 hour a week and often watch 4 or 5 small films. We loved the clackety clack and the crackly picture, its not the same when I show my classes a saved to flash drive film through a digital projector.

I really miss records and record players

last night the kids and i got out the record player and played some very very old 80’s vinyl

they danced and laughed so much..... it was great!!!!

What obsolete things do u miss????

There r so many now... tapes, tape recorders, dictaphones, typewriters cameras with film.... so many that r very cool to still own

Do you live on the moon?

There is more vinyl being pressed now than in years, and i just bought a brand new turntable just last week.

Sure they are not everywhere like cd players are, but they can easily be found.

Mimeograph machines... the soothing clack-clack and that wonderful, wonderful smell...

I.LOVED.THAT.SMELL.

I miss those old school days.... what the kids miss out on I swear kids wouldn't sniff glue/markers if they could smell fresh duplicated sheets.

Ahh, thanks. There is just something comforting about the click/whir of the slide machine and the memories of seeing all those wonderful works of art through a slide - even the terribly discolored or dirty slides. I also helped the art history professors refile the slides in the slide library. Each slide was like a little flashcard to me. I would quiz myself before I carefully filed them away in the long, narrow drawers. When I went to grad school, the Department of Art History was in the process of making all the professors convert to digital images. It just wasn't the same.

And Kodachrome film, too.

R.I.P.

Telephone booths.

With those big yellow pages hanging from a chain.

Where is Superman going to change now?

Trust me, any man who wears a spit curl, tights and red manties and riding boots knows a remaining 25¢ booth or two.

OMG.

Is that a store with barrels and barrels of candy that look like they should cost a penny but actually cost $5 per 1/4 pound?

Basically, sugar and water that crystallizes on a string or popsicle stick in a jar over time ( 10 to 14 days or longer); you can add food coloring or flavored extract, such as mint, strawberry, or orange.
