Does anyone question that the Internet is the single most valuable invention for the tickling community of all-time?
I was right at the cusp. Got out of college just as www started appearing in T.V. commercials. Before then, unless you were able to coax a girlfriend or family member into some fun, the options for seeing tickling action were pretty scarce. Mostly limited to T.V.
When you saw them, at least for me, they stuck in your memory for good. And fortunately, most of them are on YouTube just in case.
A quiz for the true tickling fan/historian. Can you finish the scene? Feel free to PM me with your answers. I'll take nominations for others too.
