I'm so old I remember... (free, story, great, name)

[The_Fairfaxian]

-When gas was just slightly over $1.00
-The craze when the SNES and Sega Genesis first hit the store shelves
-Getting up for GOOD QUALITY Saturday morning cartoons from 6am until noon
-Waiting 30+ minutes in a line to pay 25 cents to play Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat.
-Michael Jordan was on every other McDonalds commercial
-Nickelodeon with shows that weren't cartoons
-SNICK (people around my age will know what this means)
-Stetson is easy for youuuuu
-Boxers or Briefs
-Hip Hop having positive messages, Rock having heart and soul, and Pop & R&B having skilled artists
-Messages in class being passed via paper and not through texting.
-Seeing shows that had "In Stereo Where Available"
-Doom being considered "Revolutionary" in video gaming
-Wrestling was must-see-TV and not something to watch because nothing else was on
-Running around like a kid and NOT being labeled w/ ADD or ADHD
-Being quiet, behaved, and humble and NOT being labeled as having depression
-Not having to act like a poser/preppy/a-hole/gangsta/jock/fake to fit in, make friends, or get girls
-Being a representative of myself and not being instantly labeled as part of a superficial category
-Individuality and intelligence being a benefit and a means of respect and not seen as rebelling, uncool, or lame

I'll let you all off the hook:

The first animals intentionally sent into space were fruit flies, accompanied by corn seeds aboard a U.S.-launched V2 rocket in 1947. The purpose of the experiment was to explore the effects of radiation exposure at high altitudes. Some further V2 missions carried biological samples, including moss.
