I've seen espadrilles come into fashion 3 seperate times. Granted I wasn't alive when they first came in, but whatever. When you say out loud "hey, I remember the last time that was in style"...well....you know you're gettin' oldahhhh too.

I felt really old this morning at a cafe when they were playing Pat Benatar and the guys behind the counter was talking about how much his mom loves her. :o

But....I had just finished a 1 hour 45 minute run.....so not feeling very old today. :D

When your kids tell you how cute your grey hairs are.
When asprin and White Castle the night before don't help the hangover the morning after.
When you pluck that one annoying ass hair on your chin weekly.

when the 2 year old cashier at the grocery store (ok, so maybe she was 16) specifically TELLS you you're old.

cashier: "so how long have you had that piercing for?"

me: "ummm. . ." (frantic mental math, a sure sign of old age) "about 10, no 12, actually almost 13 years"

cashier: "wow, you're OLD".

thanks a lot. now ring up my sh*t!!

pfft. One morning i was throwing up like clock work every 15 minutes after the drunkest night i've ever had in my life. To everyone who was not present the night before~i had a stomach virus. I'm not so sure that wasn't the case anyway:shrug: :laugh:

I know I am old when 1987 produced some of the best albums I still listen to on a near daily basis (ie-Whitesnake "Whitesnake"), so that's 20 years ago and man I can't stand it...

Don't get me started on having grey hair since I was 20 years old...

I did sound for some dumb frat boy band last night. One of em was dressed like an idiot(actually looked like the singer from Loverboy, headband and all. [What was his name? Mike Reno?]).
Anyway, I said, "what, do you think you're in Loverboy?"
He said, "Am I a loverboy?"
I said, "No, do you think you're a member of Loverboy?"
He said, "Am I a lover?"
I said, "No, the BAND......Loverboy?"
He just gave me this PUZZLED look......

Dumbass had never even heard of Loverboy!

Oh vey!

...when you're carded and the bartender has a mild stroke when he sees the birthdate on your drivers license. :distress: Happened to me last year.

When you can't remember the last time you were carded.....:)

When you haven't watched MTV since 1989 cause you can't stand most of the "new" music
When you remember 8-track tapes, 78's, player pianos rools, wax cylinders...
When you remember the days BEFORE there were video games...
When you can remember only 3 stations on the TV...and if the president gave a speach you were screwed for something to watch...
When you remember not be bothered that you had a B/w TV because most of the shows were aired in Black and white
When you watched the moonlanding....LIVE
When you remember when Fleetwood Mac added that NEW couple
When you remember mood rings, pet rocks and bell bottom pants (The first time around)
When Jaws was the scariest movie you ever saw
When you remember Kenedy, Johnson, Nixon abd Ford as presidents
When Pooka shells were a fashion statement
When Twiggy was a model
When The "Avengers" TV show was originally on (and the Brady bunch, and the partridge family, and...)
When Johnny Carson was considered "Edgey" late night TV
When Laugh-In was originally on TV Sock it to you!

Now I am getting depressed......LOL

01-22-2007, 07:50 PM

i put it on the other night just cos i was talkin smack about it . . .
but we were right - it was terrible . ... .
i only lasted abut 25 min . .

the one thing i remember is they did a McGyver take off . . .
and kept doing it . . . one of those things going into commercial . . .
but i thought . . . this is the best they can do ?. . .parody a show that was on over ten years ago?? ok maybe not that long . . .
but it seemed hopelessly out of date . . .

SNL was 90% crap the other night. I liked the Hillary skit and the news segment and that's it. The remote control was my best friend. :nod:

Nah. I also thought the skit about filling in for some musician with that other musician was funny. The musicians were black, and castmember Adam Samberg (sp) came in all hard, acting all black, then his raps were totally lame-but-funny. :laugh:

You know you're old when you can remember the first President Bush and the first attack wave of the first night of the original Persian Gulf War...I remember walking to work at Hardee's being scared that WWIII would be arriving within weeks or possibly days.
