Yeah, thinking that young people use buds is what marks the Elf as old. Big headphones have been fashionable for a while now.
The RIAA still calls them albums, and so do I. Regardless of the recording media being used.
Now get off my lawn!
Well, that’s tedious.
Try this. Same general hairstyle.
ThelmaLou – I turned off the ringer on my landline. I didn’t care when people called a lot of the time, to be honest (and there’s voice mail – my dad in particular has a genius for calling when I was sitting down to dinner or going to bed). I hate talking on the phone. I was before my time! 
Hell, I used to *unplug *my landline. 
That hairdo is more *ancient *than merely old. The only women I’ve seen with that haircut are about the same age now that Blanche on *The Golden Girls *was when she had that same haircut.
The dated one that I see these days and think “Man… they didn’t get the memo” is the 1990s bangs and long hair.
These days, it doesn’t even seem like boys even bother brushing their hair. It’s like they wake up out of bed, look in the mirror, do the Fonzie move, and off to school they go.

While we are talking hair styles, what is the name for the hair style Paul Ryan wears? I thought it was called ‘cliff hair’ because it has a styled wave in the front (like its covering a cranial ridge) but I’ve been told that cliff hair is super high, like Eraserhead, but with shaved sides. I know its a style… but I have no idea what its called though.

I wasn’t referring to studio reference quality “big” headphones though, rather the cheap drugstore ones that people used to wear with their Sony Walkman or CD player. And I’m talking about outdoor activities like walking or running, not lounging around in the park or on a commuter bus.
Yeah, me too. But I only have to wear it on one leg, so it looks as though it is for a specific medical issue, not just getting old. (Of course, they are all worn for specific medical reasons, but the impression of just one is different than wearing two.)
I’d call it the “Eddie Munster”, because all I see is that crazy widow’s peak when I look at him.
Egad, I do this. I’ve mentioned this elsewhere ; I only have small woman fingers yet I cannot hit the correct character with my thumbs 
It was a sad day when men’s fashion diverged from being comfortable.
You young idiots! What is wrong with you? May your clothes be your punishment!
Nah because we learned to put two spaces after sentences when I learned how to type in Grade 9. And that was only in 1987… on an electric typewriter… Wait. :smack:
I prefer that to the buzz cut that all the redneck kids back in Florida wear. They look, to my eyes, like tiny convicts.
A kindred spirit!
Like this? The wispy bangs look eluded me, as I was living in Florida and had fine, wavy hair that tended to turn into a frizzfest the second I walked outside If I used the available straightening stuff, I had greasy, frizzy hair.
I hope the “another thing” you thought of was referring to TOS and not the first portion of the phrase.
Reading though these I’m seeing the term “Wristwatch” as opposed to just watch is giving an indication of age.
For me personally at age 42, I felt really young last night going to a concert (Slayer) on a Sunday (Aka…worknight.)
I was slapped back into age reality this morning as I went to the Dunkin Donuts drive through, and after being told the amount of my order after ordering, and seeing the amount displayed below the window, I was given too much change back. I looked at the receipt, and the girl at the window after seeing me, went back to the register and gave me the Senior Discount. :mad:
That’s pretty much the rule everywhere, isn’t it?
There is that.
Still, I’ve seen that cut a lot in affluent areas like Bergen County. Its a haircut that parents seem to give their little boys (you’re paying for tuition AND therapy? Good for You…!) and I’ve seen it on some college kids as well as some guys in suits.
The mousse and the styling forms a kind of small wave across the top of the forehead, but sometimes that wave is almost big enough to stick a LEGO surfer into… on a toothpick.
The hair behind it is cut short, but slicked back… but the ‘slick’ is not shiny. Maybe they use some sort of dry-mousse or hairspray?
The result, while not shiny, is so uniform that it does make me think that the wearer has on their head dark brown sculpted clay or playdoh.
Yep. that’s it! Maybe sometimes with pulled back hair.
Correct. All modern flexible space, without fixtures like wall clocks.
