Comments made in the year 1955!

That’s only 54 years ago!

‘I’ll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it’s going to be impossible to buy a week’s groceries for $20.00.

‘Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won’t be long before $2, 000.00 will only buy a used one.

‘If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.

‘When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we’d be better off leaving the car in the garage.

‘I’m afraid to send my kids to the movies any more Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every
new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.

‘I read the other day where some scientist thinks it’s possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they

We’ve all had those fun moments while at a theme park. You know the one your friends and family can’t seem to stop making fun of you for? Or the one that makes you want to go again? With things being the way they are these days, why not share that moment with the rest of the world? I’ll start.

Take a look at this picture (click to see it larger).

See that kid I’m trying to drown? Funny story (at least for me). (Legal Disclaimer: No kids were harmed in the making of this story ).

I was at Universal Studios Hollywood this week and was having some fun with the kids (I don’t have kids, I mean the ones playing there) at The Adventures of Curious George area. This kid was shooting water at me whenever he could by using one of those stationary water shooter that you could turn left and right and up and down. Click here for a picture of what I mean. After about 20 minutes I decided it was my turn.

I pretended to leave the area by walking by him and saying goodbye. He decided to have some fun and explore the ground level area. Little did he know I actually went up another set stairs that was out of his eye and I was keeping an eye on him. I filled up the buckets of water you see in the picture while keeping out of sight and when he walked on the mark on the floor, I let him have it.

He was surprised at his defeat and started to shoot me again. Joy. That was a great moment.

How about you? What was one of your fun moment at a theme park? Have more than one? Even better!

This is a true story, proving how fascinating the mind of a six year old is..
They think so logically.

A teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She
Came to the part of the story where first pig was trying to gather the building
Materials for his home. She read . ‘and so the pig went up to the man with the
Wheelbarrow full of straw and said: ‘Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that
Straw to build my house?’

The teacher had to leave the room.

At first, I thought this was just a regular online shopping site.
Let it load….thats when it gets interesting!

When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with
their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When
they were growing up; what with walking Twenty-five miles to
school every morning

Uphill… barefoot…

BOTH ways

Yadda, yadda, yadda

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up,
there was no way in hell I was going to lay
a bunch of crap like that on kids about how hard
I had it and how easy they’ve got it!

But now that… I’m over the ripe old age of
thirty, I can’t help but look around and notice the
youth of today.

You’ve got it so easy! I mean, compared to my
childhood, you live in a damn Utopia!

And I hate to say
it but you kids today you
don’t know how good you’ve got it!

I mean, when I was a kid we didn’t have The Internet.
If we wanted to know something, We had to go to the
library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalogue!!

There was no email!! We had to actually write
somebody a letter, with a pen!

Then you had to walk all the way across the
street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a
week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents!

Child Protective Services didn’t care if our
parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of
all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! No
where was safe!

There were no MP3′ s or Napsters! You wanted to
steal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store
and shoplift it yourself!

Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off
the radio and the DJ’d usually talk over the beginning
and @#*% it all up!

There were no CD players! We had tape decks
in our car. We’d play our favorite tape and
“eject” it when finished and the tape would come
undone cause that’s how we rolled dig?

We didn’t have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you
were on the phone and somebody else called they got a busy
signal, that’s it!

And we didn’t have fancy Caller ID either!
When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could
be your school,
your mom, your boss, your Bookie, your drug dealer, a
collections agent, you
just didn’t know!!! You had to pick it up and take your
chances, mister!

We didn’t have any fancy Sony Playstation video
games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari
2600! With games like ‘Space Invaders’ and ‘asteroids’. Your
guy was a little square! You
actually had to use your imagination!! And there were no
multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever!

And you could never win. The game just kept getting
harder and harder and
faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out
what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You
had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel!

There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons
on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I’m saying!?! We
had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled
l^&%*!

And we didn’t have microwaves, if we wanted to heat
something up we had to use the stove … Imagine that!

That’s exactly what I’m talking about!
You kids today have got it too easy.
You’re spoiled. You guys wouldn’t have lasted
five minutes back in 1980 or before !

Regards,
The over 30 Crowd

I bookmarked this video. This is hilarious! Watch the man sitting down in yellow.
You’ll understand it better when they give him a microphone.
