When you need to rant...

[fuzzygobo]

I kind of go both ways, if I'm being perfectly honest . . . despite my family being affluent at the time I was born, a white collar recession a few weeks after I was born resulted us being blue collar/working class for pretty much the entirety of my life - we rarely could afford to do anything extravagant like travel, go on vacations (I've literally only ever been out of my state twice in my entire life), so it's like in a sense, I am very much a homebody. . . .

But on the flip side, I'm not at all immune to cabin fever, and sometimes I just got to get out the house for a little while - even if it's to just drive way out into the country just for a change of scenery and pace . . . heck, last summer I drove twenty miles out into the country just to film fifteen seconds' worth of footage of Steve D'Monster at the foothills of a mountain, lol.

It's kind of funny, because I didn't used to like driving at all, but now I find I can actually tolerate it a lot more than I used to . . . mainly if it's low traffic areas; driving on major roads like interstates and some highways can get a little harrowing - especially when Tennessee drivers love going twenty to even thirty miles over the speed limit.

But you know what's funny? George Costanza actually predicted the future! He said one day living with your parents could become a cool thing . . . well, apparently ours is the generation that lives with its parents.

It’s not just Tennessee. Every state I’ve ever been in (25 at last count) people drive like speed demons.

Ugh.......

Nice rant video!

 

[LittleJerry92]

Yeah, it’s been frustrating.

Yeah, it’s been frustrating.

I feel ya right there, man. People who have been coming to my channel to ungratefully nag me for clips and demand the source of the clips are like a painful twist to my liver.

I appreciate all you guys have done, posting vintage clips. It’s a crying shame, no matter how much you post, some will never be satisfied. That’s their tough crap, not yours.

I'm just grateful that thanks to YouTube and people like this, some rarities I remember maybe seeing only once as a little kid have managed to be preserved in some way . . . I remember the days on MC before YouTube was ever created, trying to describe certain inserts to people, but they not knowing what I was talking about, such as this two-parter that sawing14s uploaded back in 2007:

I tried describing this to others on here, but they couldn't remember this because I guess it wasn't shown that often, and because Cookie Monster (among other characters) slept over with Ernie and/or Bert on occasions that I could've been describing any number of inserts.

That’s the way it was in 2002 on YesterdayLand, trying to describe old stuff and hoping your memory served you well.
I was in the middle of a pack of these thirtysomethings talking about the early Sesame days. There was one very young guy (about 25) talking smack about something. We were like, “Who’s this snot-nosed kid? What does he know?”
Before YouTube it really was like caveman days.

My 10 year old self back in 2003 desperately tried to find “NTV” with Nick Normal and the Nickmatics performing “The Letter N” when I discovered season 25 episodes were syndicated on there...... unfortunately, I was too late and discovered the episodes when the episodes were about to expire from syndication. I was heartbroken.
