I have seen it on tv... but the old stick game is a tad older than I...

the arm strength wasn’t much difficulty... basically like starting a big lawnmower... the issue was the lever not disengaging when the motor kicked over, and smacking you in the head... gotta keep a bowl of grease near the handle storage under the rumble seat...

expectation that when I grow up I'll meet a busty vivacious blonde that would do my bidding and say YES MASTER.

So, in the beginning the Creator promised to have a plentiful supply of obedient women in every corner of the world.

And then he turned around and made the world Round. And he laughed, and laughed, and laughed ...

Trust me on this, you'll have a lot more fun if in instead you just say "Yes Mistress"... if you don't believe me google it. ;- )

Back when I started in computers, we only had zeroes. All these new fangled computers with with zeroes AND ones, what will they think of next?

At least I’m not old enough to remember 6 or 5 digit phone numbers...

I do remember when dialing area codes wasn’t required to call within your state...

Still isn't required here in Montana ?

Probably not in SD, or WY either... those huge Midwest states with micro populations and little chance of cell service likely don’t need it.
