Total Time Waster

November 5, 2003

Yep. This is the reason I’m still sitting here.

I only got 72. We didn’t have cable when MTV came out. Okay, we never had cable.

    Hell I only got 48 and those were my teenage years.
    It did bring me back though (all those high school dances).

    Considering that I was 10 when the eighties ended, I think a score of 81.5 is
    pretty good. I have to thank my mom for getting cable, VH1 for playing hits of
    the 80’s, and also my hometown local radio station for being too cheap to buy
    anything current.
    Does anybody actually know when the slinky was invented?
