It’s amazing how the Marilyn Manson rib lore was told in every high school around the world.

Before the internet was available to everyone

I miss that time insanely. Shiiiiiiiet.

It's undeniably convenient to have an amazingly powerful computer, and the internet in our pockets

But things were certainly slightly more innocent back then

I would say life was just more genuine back then. When you had to talk to people.

It's an even older pre-internet meme, I heard it about Prince before Manson and I've heard from some older folks that they used to say the same thing about Rod Stewart.
