You Know You Are Old When.....

This thread makes me feel like the youngest person on the forum

I remember being the first kid on our block to get the Telstar.

First video player.

First stereo. AM/FM reciever, 8-track, and turntable.

I am not 100% certain, but I am pretty sure my mom had this exact unit.

If it was not the same one...it was damned close.

You just called a 20 year old a kid. You're old.

20 is a child. Try hitting on one and see what happens.

Pffftt...I have lived long enough to find that 30-year-olds are still children.

But then...to be honest...I think I have encountered maybe 20 people of any age in my entire life that actually seem to be have a balanced age/maturity proportion.

No, I am not one of them.

There are things about those people that I envy...but there are not very damned many things about those people that I envy. And the few things that I do are met with a passing envy that fades in about 3 seconds.

Some people take themselves far too seriously. And I get a kick out of those who expect others to take them seriously as well.

I am 48...and when I was 46...I briefly considered the possibility that the 28-year-old woman that I was talking to might be too old for me (as far as maturity went)...but she was so hot that I quickly chose not to let it concern me. Her name was Glenda. The funniest part was that when I jokingly called her "Glenda, the hot witch of the South"...she had no freakin' clue what I was talking about.

Too bad my age came up because the last thing she asked before she walked away was "You're how old?"...

I'll lie next time.

For those who remember back in 1964....I was around when the first G.I. Joes came out!

Can't say I remember it. But I was there for it...or, at least, I got there at the end of the calendar year.


I can honestly say that I owned a GI Joe from within the first 5 years that he existed.

 

[Spidey976]

Thus the 976... 1976 birth year.

Yep... and my wif was 1975... it was a good two years for me....lol.

Oh and you know you are old when you can say you saw the LAST episode of M.A.S.H. air LIVE, or if you remember Knight Rider, A-Team, and AirWolf...lol.

He was already one racist MOFO back then. Today he'd be a Klan Grand Dragon.

The real irony here is that some of the posters are older than dirt and post like children that never got what they wanted for Christmas. Old grumpy ****s.
