My first tv was black/white and had 8 dials to tune the 8 channels.

I grew up with Rugrats, Hey Arnold and Doug.

Well, let's see.

I was alive for the bicentennial of the USA, don't remember that but do remember rotary phones. The population of the world doubled between my birth and when I was age 42.

My childhood pics are Polaroids.

I was born a few weeks after the beginning of the TET offensive.

I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I'll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.

Old enough to watch the moon landing, but too young to remember it.

As a kid, I thought Trailer Park Boys was an accurate, contemporary documentary about the world I lived in (or at least that of my friends who lived in the trailer park down the way).

Edit: Oh, and you had to go to a Chris Brothers store to buy Chris Brothers pepperoni - Sobeys didn't carry it yet. It was glorious every time.

There was a misprint on magic the gathering cards that affected the artwork/coloration the year I was born. WotC recalled all of them and destroyed them all. The remaining ones that were already purchased sell for absurd money
