I was just watching a episode of Good Times and Michael was talking on the CB radio, giving a handle name, talking 2 a female over the radio, talking about meeting up etc ...

sound like the internet to u? 4 those that don't either remember or know but CB radios was a national it not worldwide trend back in the late 70's.

thoughts?

Yeah, I guess you could compare talking on a CB with your friends to being in a chatroom.

CB handles were/are like usernames. They even had their own "LOLspeak" in the "trucker lingo" that was used

Hey L4! Hadn't really thought about it, but you're right. I remember my father used to sit up all hours of the night talking with truck drivers (which really were about the only ones that really used it). You could sit and listen to all kinds of conversations. When he went on to chat he used several codes - like 10-4 (everythings OK), or would you 10-9 that (repeat message), or what's the 10-13 up there (weather?) or my 10-20 (location) is the great white north and of course 10-28 (gotta go to the bathroom). Kinda like verbal texting.

Yes, HAM radios too.

"dis hur is ya chocklit chip gl69969, wuss yer twinny?"

that's right King Bad was the great CHOCLIT CHIP

lol, I had a CB Radio and my "Handle" was "Midnight Lightning" cuz at the time I loved Hendrix and Midnight Lightning was my fave Hendrix tune

hey red ..yeah i remember my parents using cb's. it just got me thinking how we all use handles 2 disquise ourselves ..oops i'm hiding now

I used to love talking on the CB. I would get on there and disguise my voice as a woman and talk to the truckers. I'd call myself the Mother Trucker and tell them I was a lot lizard. A lot lizard was a truck stop hooker. I'd get those motherfuckers all worked up and horny and get them to describe their dick to me in graphic detail. One of them saw through my voice though and said..."I don't think we're talking to a Lot Lizard. I think what we have here is a Bend Over Billy".
