You Know You Are Old When.....

[Bodie The Cursed]

When you can remember your mom calling out to you while you were hiding in those massive round clothing racks at Woolworth and Simpsons etc.

I remember playing Lord of the Rings in a big furniture warehouse with my brother, the first time my parents replaced their living room set...after watching the '78 Bakshi version, on an RCA Selectavision.

When you didn't have to wear seat belts or as a kid sit in a car seat.

And for when I was real young - we would go to the drive in theater to see movies.

Or you could sit right next to your boyfriend while he's driving! Damn I miss that!

A few years ago during one of my evening classes in my studio, we were doing self defense applications and it was my friend Fred's turn and this 20 yr old kid named David was supposed to attack Fred but wasn't doing so very realistically so I explained to him that he really needed to try and hit him. David protested that he didn't want to accidentally hurt him, to which I replied "He's been training a LONG time, you aren't going to hit him." Fred looked at me and said "Thanks, that made me feel old."
I said "No Fred, if I wanted you to feel old I would have said you've been training longer than he's been alive."
"You're right that did make me feel old."
Everyone laughed.

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

 

[devilof76]

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

 

[Lejuan]

You're old too

I was able to drive when a 20 year old was born, and they were like 7 when I graduated university...lol

Thus the 976... 1976 birth year.

 

[devilof76]

You're old too

There was a breakfast waitress at my last job who was so hot, you could get skin cancer if you stood too close to her.

I did the math and I lost my virginity before this girl was concieved.

 

[devilof76]

I knew I should have been a college professor.

The worst part is that neither of us look our age, so yeah, they do flirt. And flirt. And flirt.

Be glad you're married.

 

[Lejuan]

WTF, deleted my post instead of edited it

Being a college prof is a good gig if you're partnered up - the temptation isn't there but it's a visual feast. My first teaching gig was as a 25 year old and single high school teacher, some of my students were 18. That **** just wasn't fair

 

[devilof76]

Aww. Damn good post too.

I went back to my alma mater when I was about 23, just to look around. All the girls looked like sophmores in high school. I was frightened and confused. Felt like the butt of a cruel joke.

Aging is one hell of a drug.

Once I'd figured out when that window was of being young enough to reasonably pursue 20 years olds but old enough to impress them at the same time, it was too late

Have you considered dispensing with some of your scruples? I've heard it can be fun.

That's kinda what I was talking about when I said try hitting on one.

A few years back I worked with this crazy 19 year old. Little pink flower of a mouth that swore like a pirate, sea green eyes, and bleached blonde curls down to her belly. She was dumb as a rock, but it didn't matter. I couldn't resist.

Within months of my failure, she ended up marrying some clod who looked like Larry the Cable Guy. She's fat now. Still cute, but...

Just too much work.

 

[Lejuan]

Just too much work.

Yup, and a damn shame too. If I could have my time over again I probably would've spent my time in bordellos instead of clubs.

 

[devilof76]

Probably would have been cheaper.

 

[Lejuan]

and cleaner
