RAIDERS OF THE LOST MEME: 1999

It was late December 1999. Bill Clinton was still President of the USA. Boris Yeltsin was still President of Russia. People had jobs, you didn't have to take off your shoes at the airport, a hotmail address was still kinda okay and it is thought most people were preoccupied with the mythical doomsday event "YK2," widely thought by contemporary observers to be imminent and unavoidable.
