Things That Make You Feel Old

[katie]

This thread is making me feel ridiculously young.

Me too and I'm almost 30. There are some oooold geezers here.

I remember when I used to spend all day mowing my neighbor's front and back lawns for 25¢. Then I'd go blow it all on moonpies and penny whistles.

I wondered if anybody would get that reference. Always loved that episode.

I remember as a kid, I used to sit in the front seat.  Sometimes on the special built in booster chair in the middle.

I was an installer for ON TV 32 years ago. Ouch.

I might have crawled through your attic or under your house...

 

wow, that gives you something in common with st1ckboy.

[Tank]

remember pulling in to the gas station and driving over that hose that beep so the attendant knew you were there?

 

i remember getting into double features at the theater for $4.

[Punk]

You guys are old enough to be my dad.

Your attic is the only one I craw through. That they know of.

Does anyone remember when the cereal companies would actually have a record on the cereal box?  You would have to cut out the record from the back of the box.  I remember cutting out "Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies and it actually played on our record player.

 

Yeah, I'm old.

 

 

I remember getting one of those from either Cracked or Mad Magazine.  I think National Geographic had one with whale sounds on it.

[Stradling]

I had the sugar sugar cereal record too! Super sugar crisp I think. Stradling, I don't think we had select but we definitely had ONTV. We lived in Tara hill when we first got cable. Installed the day of yearns haggler? Or was it haggler Leonard? Was a big fight I remember that much. Actually you may have already moved to sunny hills. I was withSue already.

I am pretty sure we had Group W cable when we lived on Beacon. I could be wrong, I guess.

Just might be.

[Splint7438]

I forgot we had cable on beacon. I remember the Mad magazine record was Gall In The family. Remember one line......" Adolph baby where the hell have you been all these years"! I half been alive and well and living in Argentina.

Cory just started shaving. He feels very old.

Cory just started shaving. He feels very old.

Luckily his girl friends help him feel young.

Feel young what?

Don't you mean Cory's GF's started shaving.  He feels very old?

Caddyshack is 33 years old.  Star Wars is 36 years old.  

 

When I went to college, we didn't have internet as it is today.  AOL was still in it's infancy, and went against Compuserve.  And I'd have to go to the library to do any kind of research.

 

I saw Star Wars on its opening day. 11 AM show in Westwood. 

 

Yep, I'm old.

We may be old geezers, but I bet not one of us is older than 25 in our minds...

[nate]

I thought Katie was older than me.

 

Going to a hockey game with Cory really made me feel old.  And I am not old.

[BaseballMom]

I'm not old either...I have just lived a lot.

[Spirit]

My ridiculous immaturity masks my real age.

Excuse my possible ignorance but is there an actual store called empire records because the movie came out in 1995.

 

Ethan may have thrown me off with this picture a while back.

I'm assuming the 20 year mark is for their reunion and not the anniversary of the release date.

I went to Target Saturday looking for a Thermos. I asked the young girl if they had any. She had me repeat the request no less than 5 times, looking at me like I was speaking in Chinese. She had no idea what a Thermos was.
