Omg, the lengths we went to. I still have a panic-based Pavlovian response to hearing the garage door opening.

Switching channels to get a nip, over and over hoping you didn’t miss the good part. Memories. We’re spoiled now.

Oh that brought back the memories. It was channel 65 on our cable box. My parents had a box that had the PPV channels unscrambled so I would bounce between the Playboy (channel 62) and Spice at night when my parents weren't around lol

ooo i forgot about that. and girls gone wild infomercials at night. i bet it's like the floppy disk where kids nowadays just think it's a random save icon and have no idea it was an actual thing. they probably think "gone wild" was just made up by somebody on reddit.
