Don’t be so sure, my 5yo nephew is going through a Smurfs phase just now, after catching them on one of the kiddie cable channels.
And there’s that awful movie adaptation coming out.
This year, people who were born the year Jurassic Park was released, turn 18.
Ally Sheedy is still a hottie!
A close up look at my neck, too. I hate that.
My neck’s not doing too bad, but my hands are showing my age.
Don’t call me “Mr. Musicat, that’s for my father.”
“I mean, my grandfather.”
“I mean…” :eek:
And Clara Bow! Va-va-voom! Oh, you kid!
And to add to the age-insult, I worked on the album (album? whatzat?) that became Hotel California. For those who think young.
When I bumped into my 2nd grade teacher at the “Y” when I 1st joined, I realized I had been out of the school for 20 years! My 15th HS reunion would be this year. Now get off my lawn!
Well, thanks! I was class of 1984. If YOU GUYS are old, what does that make me?
I wanna know when someone snuck in the night and attached my father’s hands to my wrists.
Great, now I’m peering at my hands …
Yeah, through bifocals!
I was the class of 1988 and helped to organize our 20th in 2008. That was the point I first felt really old.
Oh, and the time a few years ago I went to see Boston in concert and my 19yr old next door neighbor kept asking me “You went to Boston to see who in concert?”…
A friend just sent me a paperback of a book I remember having read just a few years ago, when it first came out. I checked the copyright page; it was published in 1993. Almost 20 years ago.
Gah!
When the kids at the middle school I work at have 80’s days and I look at how they’re dressed and mentally make the corrections: wrong colors, wrong lengths, that sweater is NOT Guess or Bennetton, the mall bangs are not tall enough!
i still have that ‘platter,’ i’ll have you know.
awesome music then, awesome music today.
(bonus points to the ‘younguns’ who know: 1. what a platter is. 2. what era it represents.)
You probably had to be there to understand that the bangs could not GET tall enough!
Today in the parking lot, I parked my brand new car behind a ‘vintage’ Cutlass Supreme - which model just happened to have been my very first ‘new’ car decades ago. Yeah, that Cutlass was a beauty! But when did it become an antique?
I’ve long been used to doctors and policemen being younger than me.
But Presidents and Admirals?
Yes, presidents are a good example. Finally, US presidents are younger than me.
