The phrasing alone makes it sound like it came from the time of the cotton gin.

I know people have seen the music video for The Reason by Hoobastank but the sequel to that music video is just as great and those cameos are wild looking back.

I saw Hoobastank live about 6 years ago along with Alien Ant Farm and POD. They were already riding the nostalgia train then.

I love POD. Great band and seem like neat guys.
Alien Ant Farm did a decent cover of Smooth Criminal, but they are no Michael, that’s for sure!

Who remembers this classic across the web?

Actually, I was trying to set my userbar, but as far as I can see, it is not available anymore.

The Sixth Sense is still one of my top favorites.

Let me help the youths understand what this is:

Back in the days of yore, you had a place called Blockbuster where you go to rent movies and video games like a mix of Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. Blockbuster had something like Xbox Game Pass and like Xbox's Game Pass theirs had a monthly fee where you can get unlimited game rentals.

We had a conversation around the dinner table last night whereby my teenage son said “I notice that most people between the ages of 30 and 55 take the enviable position of being able to simultaneously making fun of the elderly for not understanding technology while also making fun of youth for being reliant upon technology.”
He went on to say “I wonder if their parents made fun of them for not knowing how to churn butter while simultaneously making fun of their elders for not understanding how a thermostat works.”

Happy Anniversary to this particular incident, I guess.

I remember when the X Box came out.

When my wife and I were at Thanksgiving dinner with my whole family that year, my mother, who was somehow confusingly mashing up Xbox with Game Boy, was righteously indignant at the fact that a video game company created a game system called “the Sexboy” and that it was the hottest gift of the Christmas season.
