Back in my day we didn't have to sit through commercials in the movie theater.
Back in my day we had to wait a year for a movie to be released on Video Tape.
Back in my day if we needed to make a phone call outside,We had to find a Pay phone.

Back in my day you didn't see more underpants when you went grocery shopping than when you go shopping for underpants.
Back in my day if a kid talked back to a teacher, they actually got in trouble with their parents.

Back in my day, wrestling was something dramatic, emotional and meaningful with wrestlers who were larger than life and seemed out of this world.

Every generation has it better than the last. And thats the way it should be - it means standards of living are improving as time goes on.

I agree with most of the stuff on the list or at least remember it, but I also agree with your assisment. The new youth will seem different or as Grandpa Simpson once said "I was with it once, but then it changed and what I was wasn't it and what it was I found strange and confusing"

Back in my day a nickel will buy you a steak and kidney pie, a cup of coffee, a slice of cheesecake and a newsreel. With enough change left over to ride the trolley from Battery Park to the polo grounds.

why is it when i see this thread I think of Grumpy Old Man: I'm oooooold! And I'm not happy! And I don't like things now compared to the way they used to be. All this progress -- phooey! In my day, we didn't have these cash machines that would give you money when you needed it. There was only one bank in each state -- it was open only one hour a year. And you'd get in line, seventeen miles long, and the line became an angry mob of people -- fornicators and thieves, mutant children and circus freaks -- and you waited for years and by the time you got to the teller, you were senile and arthritic and you couldn't remember your own name. You were born, got in line, and ya died! And that's the way it was and we liked it! Life was simpler then. There wasn't all this concern about hy-giene! It my days, we didn't have Kleenex. When you turned seventeen, you were given the family handkerchief. ... It hadn't been washed in generations and it stood on its own ... filled with diseases and swarmin' with flies. ... If you tried to blow your nose, you'd get an infection and your head would swell up and turn green and children would burst into tears at the sight o' ya! And that's the way it was and we liked it! Life was a carnival! We entertained ourselves! We didn't need moooovin' pitchurrrres. In my day, there was only one show in town -- it was called "Stare at the sun!" ... That's right! You'd sit in the middle of an open field and stare up at the sun till your eyeballs burst into flames! And you thought, "Oh, no! Maybe I shouldn't've stared directly into the burning sun with my eyes wide open." But it was too late! Your head was on fire and people were roastin' chickens over it. ... And that's the way it was and we liked it! Progress?! Flobble-de-flee! In my day, when we were angry and frustrated, we just said, "Flobble-de-flee!" 'cause we were idiots and we didn't know what else to say! Just a bunch o' illiterate Cro-Magnons, blowin' on crusty handkerchiefs, waitin' in lines for our head to burst into flame and that's the way it was and we liked it
