You know when you're getting old when you remember Intellivision,
The space shuttle challenger disaster,
When Dice actually had hair and was thin,
George Carlin had more hair on his head,
Stern wasn't hollywood and phony,
AM radio was the talk radio band,
Imus was funny,
When Sesame Street didn't have Elmo,
Colorforms,
Zaxxon was the thing in the arcade,
You rememeber playing the FIRST Street fighter,
Neon colors were the big thing,
Reebok pump,
When the first Nike air sneaker came out,
Rat tail was the thing,
Alice Cooper was controversial,
Marlboros only cost two bucks,
Bush puked on the Japanese prime minister,
You listened to Prince's purple rain,
You couldn't buy a nintendo without rob the robot,
Skateboards didn't look like cocktail weinies,
Flight Jackets and Doc martins were big,
Hair bands and thrash metal was popular,
The First death metal bands were Kreator, and Celtic frost,
The Berlin wall fell down,
The Afghanistan war,
TV had a dial and you had to get up to turn the channel,
The cable box didn't have a remote control,
There was no such thing as high school shootings,
Skidz and Cavaricci were cool clothing,
Metallica was cool,
Slayer was on MTV,
AND...
Things were simple when you were a kid.


If you don't have regrets, you haven't accomplished anything.

"It's time to play the music

You know you're old when you remember School House Rock Songs!

Conjunction Junction, what's your function?
Hooking up words and phrases and clauses.
Conjunction Junction, how's that function?
I got three favorite cars
That get most of my job done.

Conjunction Junction, what's their function?
I got "and", "but", and "or",
They'll get you pretty far.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three is a magic number.
Yes it is, it's a magic number.
Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity
You get three as a magic number.
The past and the present and the future,
Faith and hope and charity,
The heart and the brain and the body
Give you three.
That's a magic number.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80,
85, 90, 95, 100, ready or not, here I come.

Apples, peaches, pumpkin pie,
Who's not ready, haller "Aye"...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Building here in Washington! But I wonder who that sad little scrap of paper is?
I'm just a bill,
Yes, I'm only a bill,
And I'm sitting here on Capitol Hill.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Interplanet Janet
She's a galaxy girl
A solar system miss
From a future world.
She travels like a rocket
With her comet team,
And there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen.
No, there's never been a planet Janet hasn't seen.

You watched a "kiddie show" that used the phrase "pluck your magic twanger froggie," and no one had a mindset to even suggest that it might have sexual overtones.
Does anyone know the name of this show from personal experience or does the fact that I do make me the oldest motherfucker on this board?



Did anyone mention skating?

Kid, I AM old! I KNEW someone would call me on that - I drew a complete blank as to the proper term. (I hope I didn't offend anyone. I didn't mean to)
Remember the first day of MTV? How you hauled ass home from school to watch it because you knew your parents would turn it off as soon as they got home?

How about the chick from Romper Room, Miss Molly. She gets her hair done at a place in Westfield, by where I used to live, and I have a friend that worked there and she is now old and at the point of walking with help. Thats scary.

And I remember having a computer in school, it was a Commodore PET, with the tape drive on it.

Anybody else remember, or even own a pair of Parachute pants with the matching jacket?

...when all of your toys become retro. When They re-released the Simon game in the clear plastic it made me feel old. Plus with all of the Star Wars figures about 4 years ago. Ugh!!!!

The New Zoo Revue is on channel 68 at like 6 in the morning on sundays. God how could that entertain me when I was a child.

...When you used to wake up on sunday mornings and watch The Three Stooges or Abbott and Costello on channell 11 in the morning and then turning over to channell 5 for the afternnon Drive in for the Martial Arts movies.

The Great Space Coaster Made me Miserable when I was a kid. Everyone called me Gary Gnu. I hated that shit.
