i used adjust mess with the TV until the squiggly lines from a blocked PPV channel were somewhat people fucking lol
In the mid to late 80's in Portland we had Paragon Cable and the channel was called Rendezvous Theater. You could easily punch in code 99 on the remote or cable box to order it. After a few times trying to deny it, I finally got tired of the ass whippings with the belt followed by being grounded.
Now those 900 numbers in the late 80's was another story full of debauchery in a youngster's degenerate lifestyle. Good times...
