I miss you peril of entrusting somebody else to record a television event that might not be on the television ever again though you might scry into its glass screen ever so dutifully, so if the one you asked this favor could only operate the VHS machine

wait no i don't miss that

But I miss you koosh balls I miss you rainbow slinkies I miss you shoelace clips I miss you Magic Eye stereograms I miss you View-Master reels I lost my marbles I miss you trading cards I miss you stamp collection I miss you pen pals that aren't incarcerated no offense to incarcerated pen pals but it's only that there used to be other demographics to write to too

...I don't miss you, Pogs, but somebody out there does...

I don't miss you, chain letters, you can perish.

Tamagotchi, I'm glad that somebody eventually invented a pause button for you.

I miss you Game Boy with no backlight I miss you cartridges of Street Fighter and Tetris I miss you dedicated music players with two jack ports because of so much optimism from the manufacturers that we had at least one friend and at most three other friends to take one earphone each and listen to music with

I missed you twice, vinyl records. No really I only saw them in movies as retro tech, and then they came back into fashion with 2010s hipster subculture and I missed out on that too.

hello return of the Polaroids what do I do with you

Hey how does the AlphaSmart compare to the Astrohaus Freewrite Traveler?

For some reason, I really miss you cassette tapes with the accordion-folded paper booklet inside the plastic casing that had all the correct lyrics. That's probably the reason I miss you, because everything else was uhh...Sometimes the delicate tape strip would loosen inside the player and then had to get disentangled from the jaws of the ferocious radio (gods help you if it was in the car's cassette player) and we had to stick a pencil into one of the two holes and wind it up again so that the tape was not disemboweled it was like surgery. But if you had the right type of player then you could get a blank one and Frankenstein together a playlist by recording the songs from the albums over the blank cassette and then swapping the album cassettes out. Shuffling was not an option. But these mixed tapes were painstaking efforts that made a thoughtful gift. But the most annoying thing was if I wanted to loop a song then I had to press the rewind button and wait 20 seconds and it was like a miniature grim reaper was harvesting precious moments from the finite time in my life only because I wanted to listen to a three-minute song for the fiftieth time in a row oh I remember now I despise you cassette tapes my nemesis my beloathed my

i want a walkman again

I miss you blockbuster I miss you cds I miss you little buttons that played song previews in walmart I miss you vhs tapes I miss you blocky tv with rabbit ears that only had 10 channels I miss you scratched dvds from the library I miss you envelopes of developed photos from a film camera I miss you flip phones covered in stickers I miss you physical media
