WELCOME to Tuesday August 14, 2012.
When I was a kid adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were when they were growing up. What with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning uphill both ways through year ’round blizzards carrying their younger siblings on their backs to their one-room schoolhouse where they maintained a straight-A average despite their full-time after-school job at the local textile mill where they worked for 35 cents an hour just to help keep their family from starving to death!

And I remember promising myself that when I grew up there was no way I was going to lay that on kids about how hard I had it and how easy they’ve got it! But…. Now that I’ve reached the ripe old age of thirty, I can’t help but look around and notice the youth of today. You’ve got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a Utopia! And I hate to say it but you kids today don’t know how good you’ve got it! I mean, when I was a kid we didn’t have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the library and look it up ourselves!

And there was no email! We had to actually write somebody a letter, with a pen! And then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox and it would take like a week to get there! And there were no MP3s or Napsters! If you wanted to steal music, you had to go to the record store and shoplift it yourself! Or, we had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and mess it all up! You want to hear about hardship? We didn’t have fancy stuff like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal! And we didn’t have fancy Caller ID Boxes either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was, it could be your boss, your Mom, a collections agent, you didn’t know!!! You just had to pick it up and take your chances, mister!
And we didn’t have any fancy Sony Playstation videogames with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like “Space Invaders” and “Asteroids”! Your guy was a little square! You had to use your imagination! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen forever! And you could never win, the game just kept getting harder and faster until you died! Just like LIFE!

When you went to the movie theater, there was no such thing as stadium seating! All the seats were the same height! If a tall guy sat in front of you, you watched his hairstyle! And sure, we had cable television, but back then that was only like 20 channels and there was no onscreen menu! You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! And there was no Cartoon Network! You could only get cartoons on Saturday morning… D’ya hear what I’m saying!?! We had to wait ALL WEEK! That’s exactly what I’m talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You’re spoiled! You guys wouldn’t last five minutes back in 1984! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a great Tuesday people, and whatever you do, don’t forget to LAUGH IT UP! Peace I am outta here, Eucman!

 
QUOTES OF THE DAY
Looking through the want ads last week, I came across a job that required a
college degree or the equivalent. Finally, I thought, my eight years of high school are paying off.”

I prefer to describe myself as a “Contemporary Anthropological Interactive
Observer” because it has just the right amount of flair. Besides….”stalker” is such an ugly word.

A lot of people wonder how you know if you’re really in love. Just ask yourself
this one question: “Would I mind being destroyed financially by this person?”

 
G U A R A N T E D T O M A K E Y O U L A F F….
A Mormon Bishop calls two primary age boys to his office. The Bishop asked them: “Boys, please tell me where God is.” The boys looked at each other but didn’t answer the question. The Bishop asked a second time, “Boys, Please tell me where God is.” The boys still did not answer the question, so the Bishop became stern and demanded, “Boys, please tell me where God is!” The boys were scared, and they ran out of the Bishop’s office and past the primary teacher. The teacher said, “Boys, what’s the matter?” The boys replied, “God’s missing and the Bishop is blaming us!”

Tuesday’s Quizzlers is……….
A man worked for a high-security institution, and one day he went in to work only to find that he could not log in to his computer terminal. His password wouldn’t work. Then he remembered that the passwords are reset every month for security purposes. So he went to his boss and they had this conversation:
Man-“Hey boss, my password is out of date.”
Boss-“Yes, that’s right. The password is different, but if you listen carefully you should be able to figure out the new one: It has the same amount of letters as your old password, but only four of the letters are the same.”
Man: “Thanks boss.”
With that, he went and correctly logged into his station.
What was the new password?
BONUS: What was his old password?
