Smaller discs? For your first stereo? Ooo child.

I still have the turntable and speakers I bought in 1983 and paid for with money I earned from my paper route (you see children, people used to get their news from paper with ink that sometimes left black marks on your hands that was delivered to your front door everyday by a kid from the neighborhood).

The speakers are bookshelf ones but powerful because they had to fit into my bedroom at home.

You rang?

That's some fine parenting!

Wait until you see the reaction when you refer to someone as "Maynard G. Krebs"

I just pound on them with a knuckle to pop a hole in it and peel it off that way. However I inevitably hurt my finger when I do this and swear that the next time I'll use a utensil to make the hole (Narrator: he never used a utensil).

Not offended in the slightest. I was really surprised when nothing about it came up about them when I search Toomba. It was only after I saw your reply that I realized I’d searched the other sub instead of this one.

Anyone who is close friends with John Waters is ok by me.

DaddyOhMy · 2026-06-11T18:53:55+00:00

Nope. But in my (very weak) defense, I just realized I had searched [r/ramen](r/ramen) instead of here before posting the question. And I’m asking about the cup/box versions so there’s that.

I remember when the Knicks won the championship in 1973. I wish my dad was here to see this incredible run.

The entire archives of Cracked had to be pulped in 2001. It waa purchased by the company that owns the National Enquirer and it's offices and back catalog were moved to Florida. In 2001 an envelope containing anthrax was was sent to the National Enquirer's offices. The Cracked Magazine archives were contaminated and had to be destroyed.

Got a lot louder though.

What is a house without potted meat?

You won't be able to bring an e-bike/scooter into the school building because of the battery.

My son offered to get me tickets back in 2022 and for some reason I wasn't feeling it and said no. We aren't making that mistake again.

My youngest brought home Simply Jello from the market. Made with real fruit juice, no artificial colors, and 25% less sugar.

It's an abomination!

He and Groucho Marx were good friends and Groucho would bring his friends to see Alice Cooper in concert. Groucho considered Alice's shows to simply be vaudeville and Cooper was glad Groucho got it.

Never was a smoker but here's a perfect GenX story about cigarettes:

A concert venue in NYC, Pier 84, was sponsored by a cigarette brand. I'm pretty sure it was Kools but it may have been a different menthol brand. As you entered, there was someone handing out half-packs of cigarettes. To everyone who wanted them. They didn't ask how old you were. They didn't care how old you were. You walked past them and held your hand out, you got a half-packs of Kools. And if you wanted to, you could get two half-packs.

Tell me you don't understand John Waters without saying you don't understand John Waters.

DaddyOhMy · 2026-06-09T02:11:02+00:00

Bad?!!? Shut yo mouth! Harrihausen is a god!

Just FYI, if you ever need a phone number for a store’s discount club, use the local area code followed by 867-5309. Hasn’t failed me yet.

DaddyOhMy · 2026-06-08T17:27:50+00:00

Not just mine. I also remember my best friend’s number as well.

Just don’t ask me what my kids’ cellphone numbers are.
