I missed this one by a fair chunk, as I wasn't conceived for about another 8 months after this was taken. The first news story I remember coherently from TV stations was the fall of Skylab.

I used to hang out in a chat room for members of a Magic: the Gathering trading forum, and they tended to forget my age (and gender, but those are other giggles). One day I was knee-deep in noobs in the room heckling me about my outdated pop culture references, so I asked 'em all how old they were when the Berlin Wall came down. One guy said 8, another 5, and another 3, then someone asked me how old I was.

I'd graduated high school 5 months earlier. (Now git offa my lawn.)
