How I know I'm getting old (Thread)

Ivoidwarranty · 06-26-2010, 03:59 PM

I remember back when Whitney Houston was hot. Farris Bueller was my hero. And I could beat down ANYBODY if you let me be Starman.

When I discovered that your typical Gen Yer gets very few references to anything from more than a month ago...

And knows more about what's been circulating lately on you tube than anything in a book

Here's one: How many of you are old enough to remember being seriously afraid of a nuclear war with Russia?

I know it's sad when I have to tell people abou the tape cassette player, and I thought I was the coolest kid around

Whenever i talk about TV shows, cartoons, and the great movie trilogies I grew up with, my girlfriend has no idea what I'm talking about, and says "Back in your day".

Ferris Bueller still IS my hero.

Turned 30 this year. Realized I am getting older when I started wanting to mod my house instead of my car...never thought that day would come.

Did anyone in here ever own an 8-track player? We had one in the house when I was a kid and my step dad had one in his truck. I remember playing the Police and Journey on them. When you wanted to listen to a particular song again, you had to fast forward all the way around to the song again...there was no rewind.

I had a 8 track player from a car hooked up to a car battery in my room when I was about 11.

I don't feel my age! Come to think of it, I don't act my age! Why should I, that's for old people!
