Hey kids, remember when there was no Internet? Cell phones were rare and expensive? Gas was $1.00?
Of course not, you kids were in utero back then. Hell, some of you weren’t even born when that Nirvana album came out. (September 21, 1993).
For those of you that remember these times, and knew me back in those days, the following audio links should prove to be interesting. Or, at the very least, embarrassing.
First off, we have here a classic from Alicia “Jackie” Vilbaum, most likely from ‘93. I got this a lot from Alicia.
Next we have Jinny in Spring of 1992. It would be another seven years before we would even start dating. But it doesn’t sound like it from this clip, does it? My favorite part is that if you listen closely, you can hear the Grease soundtrack playing in the background.
Lastly we have Travis pretending to be people looking for crack. 1992 for sure.
There are plenty of messages that are even more amusing– a complete recording of “Sean & Kirstin” performed for my answering machine by Scottie Garrison, Jinny pretending that she’s being abducted from the Randall’s parking lot, Travis proclaiming his divinity, Tami performing executive secretary duties by scheduling me reservations for a date I’m going on with someone else, and even Rick Nelson calling to borrow shoplift acquire CDs.
I will put a few up here and there as I have time.
That was funny. I may have been crazy? Anyway, it reminds me that I need you to tell me how to listen to stuff like this on the internet without horrid Itunes opening to open it. Right clicking doesn’t help. Can we just get rid of Itunes? It’s a pain.
Looking forward to more of these.
Wow. Those are priceless… And creepy. I’m not sure I fully understood the consequences of being your friend when I agreed to leave messages on your machine all those years ago. Who knew they would come back to haunt me? Sean bloody McCormick knew, that’s for sure!
Jinny, you are and always were a nut. And for the record, so was Alicia. :) I fail to see in Alicia’s case where her message is very haunting though. She could have left that message yesterday. It’s interesting to see whose voices have changed and whose have not. Alicia, Travis — no real change. Jinny, me, Meredith, Staci, Carolyn– all of our voices are now lower. And just wait until you hear Rickle. :)
Oh, and the Grease song– “Freddy My Love.”
