My town Winn-Dixie closed during 2006, but while it was open
there were two little walls of magazine shelves forming a magazine corner just to the left of its left entrance.
2001 was the best year in the history of magazines,
so I'd read about Razor scooters, Bionicles, sock monkeys, and all manner of curio.
Mom bought me Tips&Tricks 072 there, some PoJo's thing about Perfect Blue, Nintendo Power 147, and other stuff along 2001 lines.
You don't understand, upstate South Carolina doesn't even begin to be even one picosecond behind other first world regions.
I have these magazines I've had for 22 years to prove what I'm saying.
I bought a GameCube the very day of its launch during 2001 using bDay money accumulated going back to 1995, and of course Luigi's Mansion.
I got Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Advance Wars, and Melee that xMas along with Harry Potter and soccer Lego sets.
Zoomers can't wrap their poverty afflicted minds around such profound prosperity. We were only middle class.
I got my GBA for my bDay earlier that year.
2001 was a culmination of everything leading up to it, but 2002 was a strange standalone year.
Burger King had all these Lord of the Rings toys, including a Gimli that said "Well, what are we waitin' for?"
Scifi channel was showing reruns of Lexx (the opening song was the Brunnen G hymn Yo Way Yo, Hum Va Ray).
Cartoon Network started showing Hamtaro that summer, Adam Sessler was soloing Extended Play (Kate Botello left),
TechTV also showed the hell out of EyeDrops which had the Ride in the Country and Pasta for War 3D shorts.
2002 was really the last year that felt somehow special because 2003 had Paris Hilton, krunk like Lil Jon, and Hummers.
>that's 2004 dipshit
No, your memory is just shitty as hell.
