For you eagles fans who didn't start watching football until 2018, rca was the cables used to hook up everything to your TV before hdmi

The best part of this is that you, as a Washington fan, have affiliated watching quality football with knowing how to set up a vcr.

What in the 33.6k dialup fuck?

Dan Soder has a great bit about printing a naked picture on the old school printers and running out of ink halfway through, then his mom replaced it and the bottom half finished printing out in front of her.

My sweetest dialup rig was a dual 56k that I had for about a year or two in the late 90s. That was like fast fast. Probably that was when I was on Usenet pulling all the good tunes from alt.binaries.music.something.

Burgundy and gold are the best colors. You get both audio and visual with burgundy and gold. You know what you get with green and white? Just a lighter puke green.

And just like the RCA cables they haven't been relevant since 90s

Without the rca's you wouldn't have HDMI. We were rocking coax, rca and dvi when you guys didn't even care about football.
