In my day The Simpsons was the best animated show on TV, assuming we'll have more animated shows in the future.

In my day we had to walk 2 miles in the rain to get to our school, so quit your complaining about how the teleporter ain't working

In my day we didn't have hoverboards or hovercars, we had good old fashioned automobiles

Me: What's that crap you're listening to?
Son: <Insert band name of the time>
Me: That's not real music
Son: What do you listen to?
Me: Metallica, now that's real music

ejmaztec · 20-10-2008 01:46PM

You'll freeze to death with only those 23 jumpers on, son. Did I ever tell you about something called global warming we were supposed to get?

In bred simpletons high on coke thinking their hard putting contracts on each other, gob****es thinking its cool to know some powder puff gangster,

Saint_Mel · 20-10-2008 01:55PM

Back in my day we had a woeful bad government but the funny thing was they kept getting elected back into power. And the only excuse gived by the people was "well they're better than the other crowd". People were a lot more stoopid in my day, son!

antodeco · 20-10-2008 01:59PM

Andrew Fritzl: "In my day, I was banging yore ma. Not its your turn" Q some Gary Glitter theme song.

Quazzie · 20-10-2008 02:02PM

Back in my day son it was illegal to rape girls that teased you in niteclubs. Luckily Sir Snyper got into power as Minister for Justice and all that changed. Now get out off your sister and off to school with you!

AnonoBoy · 20-10-2008 02:05PM

In my day we didn't have stamps with LOL Cats on them.

Back in my day son...We had this silly little movement called feminisim. Basically we let the women out of the kitchen for a few years

That weed was illegal... How stupid are we to spend so much money on a war we will never win? Stupid Irish giovernemnt clowns.. They really do put on a circus

Oh and we had a choice... We chose to let people over 70 DIE because they work all their lives for the country.. But instead of taxing and profiting from the tourism of weed we spend millions in a futile war against it...

Ross_Mahon · 20-10-2008 02:45PM

Back in my day we had 64MB of RAM

When i was younger we used to go outside and play

I remember the days we had Nintendo :rolleyes:

When i was a young lad they didn't have flying cars...:(

In my day we had a thing called the Internet. It was just a fad though.

Peteee · 20-10-2008 03:18PM
