When I'm seventy-five and waxing lyrical about the good old days, telling my grandchildren all about the incredible events I've lived through, I'll be sure to save some gusto for the story of how Dale Earnheart died.

thank god for that

 

[yoda291]

god your grandkids will be warped or bored to tears.

I'm going to tell them how we had to walk to school, in the snow, uphill both ways...barefoot
How their taste in music sucks hard.
computers used to have moving parts(moreover, much of the critical data was stored on platters spinning thousands of times per second with a needle suspended microns above them). and how people used to clamor for them to spin faster!
We used to think Walt Disney was dead.
Cars used to burn decomposed remains of dead animals.

Historically... how we had a big honking barbecue during the blackout and had complete power.
How, during said blackout, I realized how very few good looking women there are in my neighborhood.

seriously, unless they ask or some other reason, there's no way on earth I'm telling them all the horror I've seen in my life... and I've seen my share. They'll get enough of that in theirs.
