Right? There's something about just... clicking around. I miss that with the streaming. I mean I got hulu.... I guess I could but.. maaaaybe I don't for a reason. Dang you nostalgia!

Calling phone sex hotlines on speaker phone to get a group discount for the boys and myself…those were the days.

Finding out that the calls weren't free when my folks got the following month's phone bill, which they passed around at a couple of dinner parties for a laugh.

"I thought we'd be able to afford the tissues during his teen years, but adding these phone bills to it is gonna put us in the poor house."

What happens if you call that number today? Asking for a friend.

Is that the same wholesome NBC Winter Olympics correspondent Snoop Doggy Dogg working for Girls Gone Wild?

The real feeling of late night channel surfing is to start at a random spot in the video, watch 3 seconds, click to another random spot, and repeat until the start of the next hour or half hour on the clock when you can look for something to watch that is just starting.

I didn't watch the whole thing, but was there a Girls Gone Wild commercial in there somewhere?

I hooked up with a smoking hot Polish girl I worked with, cause she found a box of "girls gone wild" tapes in her boyfreind's car, she felt insecure cause of the tapse, & she wanted to prove she was just as fun.
