My car has a tape player in it

I was explaining to this 4 year old what tapes were. He kept saying "No! Tape sticks things to the wall!"

is this him?

remember when TV when off the air at like 2 am or something and they'd play the national anthem before it went to color bars?

and... "Father Flanagan" closing with "Reflections".

I remember seeing my cousins fidgeting with their antennas to get a clearer view of the TV.

They know they were suppose to put some tinfoil on the tips of the antennas... I swear.

squinting real hard to watch the Playboy Channel without the de-scrambler...

MAN those were the days. Same when The Movie Channel, Showtime and HBO had scrambled softcore porn.

I used to sit glued looking at the scrambled channel thinking I saw a dick. When I actually had a free trial of it, all you could ever see was the back of the man's ass pumping. I said..."This ain't shit!".

ONly thigns Ill miss / remember much

1. Inserting a VHS tape into a VCR to watch a movie or to record something.
2. High-speed dubbing.

I never liked Hi Speed dubbing...the quality was poorer than taping regular

1. 8-track cartridges.

hated it

1. Vinyl records. Even today’s DJs are going laptop or CD.

I know..the sound is bad...I give props to djs still using the turntable.

1. MiniDisc.

hated it

1. Scanning the radio dial and hearing static between stations.

Ill miss those days. Once caught a man arguing with this girl on the phone! Police conversations etc. SW1 & SW2 stations with weird communications lol.

1. 3-D movies meaning red-and-green glasses.

hated it

1. Watching TV when the networks say you should. Tivo and Sky+ are slowing killing this one.

Love it...now I can work and still watch all my favorite shows when I am able...dont know what I would do without it.

1. That there was a time before ‘reality TV.’

Ugh......I dont ever re-watch a reality show.
