When you remember paying 17.9 cents for a gallon of regular gasoline.

You knew what "core" was...


... I even have some I found in an old box the other day.

Just happened.

Two co workers came in to my office.

What are you listening to?

Richie Havens! You know, Woodstock, Freedom, classic track.

:confused::confused:

you get depressed when you realize you can relate to every post in a PPOT thread intitled "you know you're old when....."

When your favorite all time football players are Larry Csonka, Nick Buoniconti, Bob Griese, Jim Kiick, and Paul Warfield. God I loved the Dolphins in grade school!

Child.

You kept a spare 1B3GT in the house in case the tv stopped working.

Besides, back then everyone's favorite football player wore #51

And some of the things you guys are remembering.......I was ALREADY feeling old then!

You know your old when...
 

You know your old when...

you can't spell you're...

yer.

When going "out for dinner" was a big deal, and very seldom at that.

You're getting old the first time you couldn't do it the second time.
You are old the second time you couldn't do it the first time.

That great old movie on TV doesn't end the same way you remember it.

You know that cool old machine that prints as you press the keys, is called a Typewriter ( You are WAY OLD if you know that originally the person using it was called a Typewriter, the actual machine was called a Typewriting machine).

Broke my heart when Csonka left the Dolphins.

I remember Bob Beamon making that jump in Mexico City, measuring it out on the ground with a ruler, unbelievable.

You are old if you remember it being a big deal to have air conditioning in your car.

You know you are when you have to explain what is an "E" ticket ride.

I remember when someone stole my Pioneer Supertuner 8-track and I was actually pissed about it!

You guys and your 8 track tapes.........I had a 4 track tape player! That was PRE 8 track technology!!!!A buddy had a record player in his car that played 45s.

You're old when you liked the ORIGINAL Ford GT 40, built by Ford, failed by Ford.

Here ya go Tim! Got this hanging up next to my bar.:)

that is pretty kickass Vinny

Yep. Loved Csonka. Butkus too. Real men, real heroes. (Jeez, I'm old...)

I used to think Brian Urlacher might be the next Butkus, but that doesn't seem to be happening...

These were my local heroes growing up:

And you know it was just paid for by Ford USA, built in the UK.........

Geez, thanks for all the reminders, I'm only 54 and remember all of that......:>(........:>)!!

Crap, I did learn a keyboard on a typewriter, 9th or 10th grade.................

damn, I feel YOUNG!!! I turn 44 in a couple of weeks, SOME OF YOU GUYS ARE

O L D !

I'm a high school football coach, among other things. i am 41. Ten years ago I told some kids they were like "Ponch and John". Q the crickets...

...you have a keyboard like this.

Awesome!!!!!

Great pic!

Even as a 49'er fan growing up in SoCal, it was hard not to admire the FF.

My, "You know You're Old, but others are older" moment: I jumped from over 40 to over 50 baseball last year. "You the new young guy" was the first question I was asked at practice. He was serious.

It is all perspective:)

How about calling it a "lid?"

Showing my age here...

Was just at my Brothers house in the Ozarks last week. They are still using dial up to get on the 'net. Fussed with his computer a bit and got it going at 21.6k instead of the 14.4k that it had been doing. (phone lines are dirty) They were happy as can be at the speed increase!

Sad to see...

anyone else here use a slide rule in college?

Nope, sorry. But my dad had me using one in intermediate and high school! I still have his favourite pair of them. My ex threw away the old TI-30 he had. Seemed like the size of a brick...


Actually lid is what I remember. Kids kept it in an old dip container, I always thought that was why they called it a lid... Who knows?

or you bought a "key"

I recently turned on an "Oldies" radio station and realized most of the so called oldies were from my high school days, doesn't even seem possible that that much time has passed so quickly. I remember turning on the same station years ago and it was all 50s and 60s stuff, which seemed like ancient history at the time. Perspective I guess...

Anybody remember these?

And Roman Gabriel along with Jack Snow and the rest of the crew.
Our family had just relocated to SOCAl from Wisconsin. I am still a Green Bay Packers fan, through thick or thin, but those games between the Packers and the Rams were hard to take as they were played by some hard core old school football players.

Yep, for two years. How about a Curta?

"Lucky Strikes Means Fine Tobacco" or as my hod rod mentors used to say (and many of them smoked Lucky's); "Loose Sweaters Mean Floppy Tits"

I also remember when my buddy's dad opened up some old WWII rations. They had cigs in them, a small pack of Lucky Strike Menthols, unfiltered and we tried to smoke them. YUCK!
