How you know you're old.

In the IRC we were talking about Russian and I said, "But if he speaks Russian he can make Jamie Lee Curtis get all horny."

Someone didn't get the reference to the "old" movie. I looked it up on IMDB and..."A Fish Called Wanda" was made 21 years ago.

Has it really been that long?





I'm so old.

No, you really know you're old when you slip and fall down and no one laughs.

He actually robbed Peter to pay Paul.
He was a fluffer for the Kama Sutra.

His social security number is 9.
He's the third drawing from the left on the evolutionary chart.
He remembers the mini-mall they tore down to build Stonehenge.
He won't give his real age because he pre-dates counting.
He remembers the best thing BEFORE sliced bread.

In school Geology was called Current Events.

I've eaten a Marathon candy bar fast.
I enjoyed my morning bowl of Buc-Wheats.
I remember tetraethyl lead, rotary dial phones, and exchanges that were letters.

Most of all, I remember being able to purchase chemicals from the corner store without having to show ID, license, background check, nor registration.

Ahh, the good ol' days.

When I was a kid the town I lived in didn't have enough phone lines to let each household have their own phones. So everyone was on a "party line". Your phone had a special ring to know it was for you but it rang at every house that had the phone line. We were on a party line with 3 or 4 other houses. One of them belonged to my grandmother, who would pick up the phone regardless of who it was for and listen to the conversation.

I remember only dialing the last 4 numbers if the phone was in your exchange. Now I have to dial all 10 digits of a phone number.

Another you know when you are old...

You remember when your parents bought their first microwave oven. mmmm.... microwave bacon.

My parents tell me the days of only having one telephone on the block, that took the calls for everyone.

My parents kept their rotary phone for a long time. AT&T wanted to charge to switch you to tone dialing. So my parents refused. Their plan was to wait them out. And eventually they got tired of having legacy equipment out there, and switched them over for free.

I use a rotary phone just to piss off the telco. Get me DSL and then I'll unplug it fuckers.

You know you're old when they start remaking movies you thought of as classics from when you were young (I'm looking at YOU "Karate Kid").

You're even older when they remake movies that were classics from when you were an adult.

I remember a time when 25-year-olds didn't lament being "old." Seriously. I couldn't appreciate it at the time, because I was too busy wishing I was grown-up, but I know it existed.

When I was 25, I was still being treated like a kid by my co-workers.

Don't ask me for a freaking hall-pass....

One feels old at 25 because younger people (even if only by a few years) start calling you Mister/Sir and stuff... i got really annoyed 2 hours ago when some guy that no way was younger then 20 asked me about a bus using that kind of formal language...

It makes me feel funny too, but they're just trying to be respectful. I try not to brush that off... otherwise I can no longer complain about how people don't have manners anymore.
