Old man Keys in the doorway.

I guess that was my teen speak though. Simpsons quotes. Upgraded to Simpsons memes now I guess. So I'm guessing most of this board is roughly my age haha

In all seriousness, do the zoomers even use forums these days? Isn't it all the tic toks and the snapchats?

The shared cultural experience of 3 FTA TV stations (plus ABC and that weird foreign one you only flicked over to when Mum and Dad weren't home hoping to catch a boob) is strong.

The social impact of the changes in everyone receiving a mostly homogenous media exposure via TV in their formative years to other avenues and a huge amount of diversity in those mediums is kinda fascinating. I'm sure the anthropologists will have a ball amongst the ashes of Western civilization

Or if you grew up in the country - GWN and ABC

Kids these days will never understand the thrill of watching some mind numbingly boring arthouse french movie at 11:45 Friday night with the volume right down, in the anticipation of catching 1/2sec on boob.

Made the weekend if sighted

Maybe Reddit?

Oh how tragically accurate this is.

Sneaky edit DorothyG before I could finalise my "Jacques Wattes, director of Navigation de Plaisance et Seins" joke.

I won't have the weatherwoman called boring, not on my watch

It appears that only the Wednesday training sessions will be officially open. That’s a shame because based on what I watched Wednesday those days will be the light session with Monday and Friday the more intense days

That said, we’re moving back to the outside oval (Oval 2) next week which is unfenced. So if you can correctly guess the start time, you’ll be able to watch those sessions without restriction if anyone wants to do a report in my absence

I just assumed looking up the definition would make me dumber.

You had Rabbit ears? Lucky you.
Try adjusting the coat hanger

Used that on my car

Coat hanger??
We used to dream of having a coat hanger.
We'd have to use live wires from the fallen powerlines after Masto trained it all down.

Long pant and thongs is quite the choice
