Good rock music that is not trying it's darndest to sound retro (why is emulation in these days, and I don't mean Emulator II's), malt liquor not sold in 40's, a rap record that was fun, real floppy discs (although even now, my mother still this that the only way you can save information from your computer is on one of those 4.5in. floppy discs.)

I think everything on your list is something I used to indulge in, but haven't thought of for years. Except parachute pants. Never had those! How much is a pay phone these days, anyway? I'd not noticed.

I had to use a payphone recently because my cell was stolen at school. And, right now, it was 50 cents. It used to be just 25 cents back when I was in high school. But, then when I was in high school, you could get two Tasty Kake pies for a dollar, and now an individual Tasty Kake pie costs a buck. Has inflation really gone up that much since 1999?

I think the Little Debbie stuff is still pretty cheap, innit?

Little Debbie and Hostess are crap. If you're from Philly, you know that Tasty Kakes conquer all snack cakes.

I could really go for some butterscotch krimpets right now

The payphones in SEPA (non dodgy ones) say 50 cents for local calls but then when you use it it says "you've got 15 cents credit towards overtime". Verizon are cunts. I've not seen that too many other places (I used a payphone in boston recently and in new york and they both said 30 cents)!

There is no such thing as a non-dodgy AKA a working SEPTA payphone.
