    My friend and I snuck into the Phillies vs Reds playoff game where Roy Halladay threw the first playoff no hitter in like a century. Was legendary.

    Also hVe a ton of funny stories


    Edit: completely thought the thread said "back in the day story" not "back in my day" oh well lol

    We had to knock on people's doors to get them to hangout

    Glad as f--- my house phone says "conference" on the screen if more than one phone is picked up

    edit: to contribute to the thread tho

    I was born during the 90's and the drastic change between physical and digital media is still pretty crazy to think about. The present is "my day and age" but I can vividly remember reading through TV Guides and scheduling my days to see which cartoon/programs were on and when. On Demand wasn't a thing, Netflix wasn't a thing. It was exciting to catch a show you liked. I think we enjoyed things a lot more when it wasn't readily available at our fingertips.

    Off the top of my head:

    Y2K, even when coaching kids in b-ball I'll bring it up as all the year 2000 born kids are now in High School. That'll prob be one for sure.

    I'd be telling them how we got arrested for the weed they are now legally buying from medical shops/cafes.
    dumb. I'm from Australia and can get pure MD (Australia is actually really not that great at getting good product across the board). and yeah i do "roll for hours" If you can't get pure MDMA, that's on you. Your dealer is probably just spouting typical "my stuffs 110% pure breh and so good mang!" bs.
