Manager: What time will you get here?
Me: On Monday
In the 1990s we experienced:
Peak Michael Jordan.
The rise of Tiger Woods.
Gas at 99 cents a gallon.
The golden age of Hip-Hop.
The rise of The Rock & Steve Austin.
The rise of Venus and Serena Williams.
A streak of classic Disney animated films.
Sitcoms: Seinfeld, Friends, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Star Trek: "The Next Generation" and "Deep Space 9"
Peak SNES, and the arrival of Sony's first PlayStation.
Marvel Comics sold hundreds of thousands of books a month.
DC Comics' "The Death of Superman" became national news.
Rise of young comics including Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock.
Elite work from established Hollywood stars, breakouts of new stars and filmmakers, classic blockbuster films (and late night TV hosts who promoted the business instead of lecturing audiences).
Nostalgia for the 1990s is strong because excellence across multiple arenas in pop culture was obvious and undeniable, and this excellence enhanced our quality of life.
Fame had to be earned, we could enjoy things together, and algorithms had yet to atomize and divide us.
It was an amazing time to be alive.
Lol!!!
Dumbest kid in the world...
A young boy enters a barber shop, and the barber whispers to his customer, “This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.”
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, “Which do you want, son?”
The boy takes the quarters and leaves.
“What did I tell you?” said the barber. “That kid never learns!”
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.
“Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?”
The boy licked his cone and replied, “Because the day I take the dollar, the game is over!”
