I often see criminal case files and, looking at the DOB of a defendant, can remember very clearly what I was doing the year he or she was born.
My dad said it was a sobering moment when he first voted for someone for President who was younger than him. I don’t think I’ve done it yet, but the election can’t be too far distant when I do.
I mentioned Robert Redford once and my eldest son (born in 1996) asked, “Who’s Robert Redford?” My wife and I stared at him, dumbstruck. We discussed it with him and realized he has seen Redford in movies like All the President’s Men; he just didn’t remember the name. But still!
A friend said that whenever he notices how pretty a young woman is, he tells himself “Relax, she’s too young for you.” Then thinks “Hmmm, wonder if her mother’s available?”
I’m older than him, so I told him that wouldn’t work for me…
their mothers are too young for me.

Be grateful for that. If you did become visible, it’d be because they think you’re a creep.
I’m not sure I get this one. What else is it, other than an exciting, action packed sci-fi adventure, with a bunch of sequels, prequels and spin-offs?
I’d argue that’s more a youthful outlook; most oldsters are busy shaking their fists and complaining that modern music “isn’t real music”, whether it’s heavy metal in the 80s and 90s, or rap-influenced music in every decade since the 1980s. And they’re usually mired in past decades in their own musical choices.
This one I really don’t get. I mean, my mental vision is that some neckbearded dork is performing a detailed analysis and critique of “Thundarr the Barbarian” or the “Super Friends”, and it’s making me chuckle a bit.
I actually had something similar happen to me; I saw a dorky-ass teenager/young man and a really good looking woman- tight jeans, good hair, etc… walking together in a store and though “Wow, she’s hot. Why’s she with that doofus?” until I got closer and realized she was his mother.
I’m starting to think that not wanting to sit through some hyperactive doofus blathering for 15 minutes reviewing something and just wanting a review article with a summary paragraph must mark me as old.
Almost every time I google " reviews", the first third of the search results is YouTube videos talking about it. And I almost always skip them, because I don’t have the time or inclination to wait through someone’s video review, when there are probably much faster and more concise reviews that are text/photos.
