That was the very first game I ever bought for the PC, mainly because I had had the cartridge for my Sega Genesis. Something else that kids now will never be able to fathom - phones that had to stay hooked to the wall, rotary dialing, and NO TEXTING! By all the Gods, how did we ever survive?! Ahh….Earthworm Jim!

When I was a kid, there would be kids trick-or-treating all over the neighborhood and nearly every house would be handing out candy. Now with the advent of things such as "trunk-or-treating" and an increase in sex offenders that have been ordered to keep their lights turned off on Halloween night, things just aren't the same. It's a shame really because it won't be long before parents have to buy their own candy instead of looting from their children. I actually commented on my blog about how much Halloween has changed.

I was mildly miffed that he stole the idea from me, but obviously not enough to change it at all. I was actually referring more to things in pop culture that have changed. "I Love Lucy" will be gone by the time my kids can remember their childhood. Oh, they may never know that MTV and VH1 were originally music video channels!

Last night I reflected on how much things have changed just in the last seven years. If someone had told me on September 12, 2001 that our next President would be named Barack Hussein Obama I would have asked which Arab nation had invaded us? I don't take 9/11 lightly, just ask Zuke he was my roommate that day. As I type this the comment sections spell check does not recognize the name Obama, and thinks I misspelled. Though Zuke I do disagree with some of your "Things that must or have gone" list. I Love Lucy isn't going anywhere. Environmentalists will do what they always do, whine loudly, smell badly, get a few celebrities to endorse their cause of the week, and by and large get nothing done. As someone who voted for Obama I genuinely hope that the next four years will bring great change. However what those changes will be no one can know. Zuke you really are now an old man.
