    Man growing up and being able to google stuff must be wild. I’m from the days when you would call a dedicated phone number just to get the time and temperature.

          Four separate times before I was 13 I found the random porn in the woods.

        My friends used my help to print off their own custom Sports Illustrated magazines. It was me, I distributed it. The 11 year old Heisenberg of bubble jet printed soft porn.

      It’s been that way for 30 years, it’s pretty mundane at this point.

          I found a picture of some topless model online in the early 90s. I used a file splitter to fit it onto floppy disks, then took them upstairs to my non-internet-connected packard bell in my room with Win 3.1.

          It was far less interesting when rendered by a 20-color pallette, but it still got the job done.
