I remember wet behind the ears young farts like you not being the brightest bulb in the lamp.

I remember when people had to talk trash face to face (Not favoring those of the paste eating ilk).

I remember when I had to walk to school barefooted in the snow. Uphill. Both ways.

I've not been wet behind the ears since your Momma was turning tricks on Bourbon Street.

Eta: I do remember those days well though. I remember when Al Hirt got his lip busted by someone who threw a brick bat at him when he was Grand Marshall of the Marti Gras. Hell, I even remember the parody SNL did of it.

I remember when:
Big Macs were .55
Regular fry .25 large fry .35
Regular drink .25 large .35
Hamburgers .20
Cheeseburgers .30
( I worked there while in high school )

Gas .37
Bought a new car (Road Runner) and paid $4200.00
Paid $75.00 for my first car and bought a 1965 Chevelle SS for $600.00

I could have bought a Hemi Cuda in 1974 for $2500.00 when gas went to $1.00 per gallon

I remember when you could buy candied cigarettes.

I remember when cars could only get gas on certain days based on their license plate number being odd or even.

I remember when playing pong was considered a big deal.

Any fan would be pumped if their QB was on First Take being a boss this morning.

The argument that A&M hasn't done anything is pretty funny. Beating Alabama felt pretty damn good, especially when we had low expectations this year. Drilling Oklahoma was awesome this year. You watch sports to be entertained. This team has entertained me. Johnny has entertained me.

As someone who pulls for both LSU and A&M, I am much more entertained for the majority of an A&M season. I don't like struggling to score on garbage teams.

A win is a win, but having fun during a game is a pretty cool concept. The mentality that so many people have that we watch sports to brag about our accomplishments is funny. I like to remember the fun.

I remember being able to fill up a truck, buy a can of red seal, Mt. Dew, and a bag of chips and it cost less than $20.

A lot of remembering when things were cheaper in this thread... In before the eventual Obama bashing that will surely ensue!
