    This came out in 1998. You're 27 at the very minimum? That means you joined CF when you were 8.

    Is this a for-real country band? Country music fans tolerate this ****? You'd get your ass kicked for wearing a getup like that where I grew up in BFE.

    Wow Worthington Chevrolet was open until midnight. He must had security or maybe 59 and Hillcroft wasn’t a ghetto in the 80s.

    $13-16 for a phone relief solution in the 80s is worth around $50-60 today. What's a $500-1k expense for an office of 10-20 people not calling off from neck pain?

    My buddy's parents had a waterbed back in the early 80's, we used to get in trouble for jumping and playing on it.

    Looking back I started joking with him "you know your parents were freaks, right?"
