“Mike? I love that guy, I got him on speed dial”
“Do you have any quarters for a phone?”
“Bill Cosby really is America’s dad”
“Can I borrow that VHS?”
“Sorry, I can’t come. My favourite show is on”
“Do you know where a phone is?”
It’s 2004
Happy new year 2005!
“Get off the internet, I’m expecting a call”
itt: people thinking 20 years ago was 10 years ago.
“Sorry, I got to return this video”
2004 is when the Blockbuster video rental chain was at its peak (cite), and VHS was still in wide use at the time having only been surpassed by DVD rentals a year earlier. Speed dial was also still a thing then, payphones still exist today, and, although complaints were filed against Bill Cosby much earlier the public wasn’t widely aware of them until 2014.
How about “John Kerry is the candidate who can prevent a second Bush term” ?
Try cleaning your mouse ball, see if that helps.
“I’m excited for what the future has in store for me.”
“Can I borrow that VHS?”
20 years ago it would have been DVDs. But even before that, we didn’t call them "VHS"es. We called them tapes, or video tapes if we wanted to distinguish from audio tapes.
That might be a regional thing. 20 years ago I was calling them vhs’ living in Nevada but idk about others.
Oh, interesting! I stand corrected.
