Aside from the eggs (I don't do microwave eggs at all) and nuking the hash browns, I'd eat the shit out of that Hungry Man Breakfast.

I may make it tomorrow for real. Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Hash Browns, Pancakes. The only thing it's missing is Biscuits and Gravy and adding that in may be a bridge too far for even me to eat.

The "classic" gen X'er has parents of your generation.  My (late) dad was born in 31, mom in 42.

I got beat with Hot Wheels track and flip-flops, but does anybody remember the big ass wooden Goody hairbrush? When I saw the HW track coming out I'd run like the wind. Yeah, the Goody brush between the shoulder blades would fold you up like you were just tomahawked in an old western flick.

My mom wielded those lengths of orange Hot Wheels track like a samurai sword and threw her flip flops like Ninja Throwing Stars.

A Millennial once asked me if we had porn on the Internet in the "old days."

I explained how we would log into a service provider using our dial up analog lines and find alt.binaries on a Usenet server. After downloading all the text files associated with a specific picture, we would use UUDecode to convert the text files back to a graphic. Opening it, you'd finally see what you got, which was usually a shitty flatbed scan from a Playboy.

He just looked at me with his mouth open.  

Kids these days don't know how easy they got it.

.   When we got our VCR I inherited the beta which was used for late night skinamax softcore recording.  My mom could find magazines but couldnt work the tape deck.

Born in 1972 and consider myself blessed to have grown up in the late 70's and 80's.

These days I find myself listening  to Eddie Money's "I wanna go back" on a loop on a CD, on Pioneer stereo with tower speakers, drinking cheap whiskey longing for those day again and hating everyone.
