ESP moment. Pretty Woman is on tonight.

I remember when I first saw it, in a hotel room in Melbourne back in 1991.

How the fuck can that be 20 years ago?  :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry:

I'm still young so the 90's are like eons ago for me.

I remember when 600ml bottles of coke were just 500ml bottles with 20% bonus extra. AND they were only $1.50.

I remember when we couldn't get Ten and NBN on TV because we didn't have UHF aerial on our roof.

If you got 25 channels in your cable package that was a lot

Cable?  Hell, I remember black and white.  And the little deer lamps that people would put on the TVs so you wouldn't get eye strain in the dark.

YES! The TV lamp, my mother kept it in back of the big monstrous black-and-white TV, which of course was kept on a TV cart
with WHEELS on it, and it had the rabbit-ear antennae, and my father put pieces of tinfoil on the ends of the rabbit ears to
improve the reception. We turned this TV on an off manually, and changed channels manually. We got about 8 channels.  :chin:

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Thank you.

Only now I get why the windmill lamp would be on. No deer here, a wooden windmill with warm yellow light.

It could make music too btw, but that of course would not happen during watching TV

The video and TV games were to blame for violence, and the karate movies and the cartoons.  :facepalm2:

Well, they ARE to blame, you know. That's why I limit my entertainment choices to wholesome places like this.  :M

One of the agencies I often audited was the Orleans Parish Levee Board, which was located at the Lakefront Airport.  Up until Hurricane Katring the airport had an old wooden phone booth that I would specifically go into to call home because it was so much fun to do. Sadly the airport was outside the levee system and fared very badly.
