I used to sell TV Guides door to door as a kid. I had 60 or so regular customers.

Huh, Ghost Busters was something in 1976.

The movie was not made until 1984.

The Ghost Busters was a 70's cartoon unrelated to the 84 film Ghostbusters and subsequent cartoons.

This will date me. My first concert. LO fucking L. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=010KyIQjkTk

Arie Crown theater on the Lakefront at McCormick Place. Patrick likely knows what I'm talking about location wise. I get the joy of going there next September for a conference. Ugh.... Chicago Marathon in a few weeks. I get to enjoy that shit show. Gotta support the wife though.

I'm so done with Chicago. There's going to be immigrant and black Chicago gang warfare. Same with Latinos here legally. It's going to get ugly in Chicago.

I still have my Commodore SX-64.

I used one of these at work running a spreadsheet, I believe Lotus 123.
This piece of shit was $3800 bucks or more.
1983, so it was running DOS.

You may have been running "SuperCalc." the original spreadsheet.

Don't you mean VisiCalc? Don't think Lotus was around yet?

That's a great idea - put up a space where the various musicians of PatNet can upload tracks.

Yeah..put up a space where the various musicians of PatNet can upload their "solid bronze" tracks. I know a guy who lives in upstate NY who i met in mexico...he likes to post his songs on youtube.

Oh, wow, you can upload MP3.

National Lampoon's Vacation Walley World was the Santa Anita Park racetrack in Arcadia.

Hot Air Popcorn Maker

I only knew a couple of people who had a player for these during the brief period where they were "popular".

DemocratsAreTotallyFucked says

Argh, what stopped me from getting the good buttery popcorn in the movies and having to eat the tasteless airpopped shit with no salt or butter.

I eventually just opened my jacket and dumped it as soon as somebody's parents were out of eyesight

Back, spawn of Satan!
