#8 Through out the 50's, anybody could buy cigarettes from a vending machine. You put in a dime and a nickle and got a pack of Pall Mall with two pennies taped to it as your change. The cost of making them hasn't gone up, the extra $7 to $10 is a 'Sin Tax' politicians claim is to get addicts to stop using, but, like tariffs, it's just a tax that goes into Pol's and their Donor's pockets...

#5 - My room mate and best friend since we were 13 is two months older than me... I constantly call him old man and boomer and other jokes, despite the fact that we are functionally the same age.

#1 ah yes, the old ways. Excuse me while I go to Walmart and buy one of those modern refurbished Atari 2600s.

Why does Pooh not have a t-shirt on? Meat and veg out is obviously fine but bear nipples?!

It's casual Friday.
DutchBoeremeisie
Wasn't sure, so I looked it up. The original Winnie the Pooh didn't have a shirt.

#8 That’s almost $300 today. The article is a bittersweet read.
Munchman347
Yeah, that $20 would have gone for just the popcorn...

#1 it's worse when they only talk over the outro. Because you thought you had it.

A slightly more modern one, was attempting to record the audio from a music video on YouTube, but they film an extra scene in the middle to prevent that

#8 GOD DAMN. 16 bucks to live a week watching movies, playing games, and eating hotdogs and candy? WHERE DO I SIGN UP(Even if adjusted to current value, that is some DAMN GOOD trade off value.)
AtmaDarkwolf
er 20 bucks for 16 movies* sorry.

#1 I believe they do this on purpose, don't they? They talk over the intro and outro, if a song has them, to stop people recording them off the radio?
DutchBoeremeisie
Oh, you might very well be right. I had assumed it was to avoid dead air/keep the momentum going. (I used to listen to a late-night DJ who very specifically did not do this - but he did a lot of things very differently.)

I have a recording which was a first-play of a new single (Hey boy, Hey Girl by The Chemical Brothers, 1999), where the DJ (Trevor Nelson) played a BBC Radio1 station-ident jingle over the intro, and then joked "All the people recording at home have just gone "Oh No!"" - ironically, I have this recording because I downloaded it from Napster...
DutchBoeremeisie
Hahaha, that is brilliant.
