You know your old when...

When you still call the TV a "boob tube"

Yea, I have an original copy of IBM DOS 1.1. State of the art 5.25 inch single sided floppy.

I also have a patent pending Microsoft mouse with a steel roller ball and two big green buttons.

You know you're old when you can date a woman half your age and she never gets asked for ID at the bar.

you know you're old when you are no longer able to write your name when peeing, but you can spell it out in Morse code.

OK, how about if you can remember when a full sized van with a mural painted on it and red velvet and carpet all over the interior was the coolest thing on the road ......

When you refer to a 928 as an exotic.

I remember my buddy Joeys dad had a blue and silver metalflake Dodge with a blue velvet and fur interior with a bed in the back with a roman archway and columns in it. With a mirrored bar. It had a huge seaside murals painted on it with small porholes on the side. It was called the Silver Shark We used to go to all these custom van shows with it.

Zackly!
My oldest brother's best friend had a dodge van done up the same way, that thing was soooo coool!
When I got old enough to buy my own van it was still kinda cool, for about 6 months. Then it stopped being cool real quick like.
There wuz nothing wrong with it but it sat in the back yard for years without moving.

I had a dream a while ago that I still had that van but had forgotten it for a long time. I was all jazzed about finding I and drove it all over the place in the dream.

No I don't want to know what that means.

And yet we were still surprised to get pulled over in those rolling weed ovens.

A dime bag was virtually too big to hide in one's underwear. We're talking forty doobies here. After all the seeds were removed, which could be done with a shoe box or folding album cover.

Musicians used to issue "records."

It's not that bad. I'm only 23 and I remember dial-up.

GatoTom: I am rolling now!!! I still remember the spanking I got for climbing behind the TV to see if everyone could see me on the tube! I was also wondering if I was in B/W since that was what the set was!


Heck, when I learned computers we had punch cards and paper tape. I liked the paper tape until one would tear on you.

I still gots some 8-tracks, but no player. I do have two record players! (including a first run direct drive Garrard with Shure cartridge and diamond stylus)

I gots to remember the crackers comment and see how that goes, gotta remember to do it when only guys are around...

Thanks! I feel MUCH better now!

When you don't buy green bananas.
You have two shelves of supplements in your medicine cabinet.
You own a white belt and white shoes.
you have all your furniture and it's in the right place.
you sound like your Dad.
having a good bowel movement is more important than sex.
A big night out is being home at 10 p.m.
you decide no more pets.

When you know what the alternate use for a McDonalds or Burger King food tray is.

Worked much better than album covers.

Premium was called "ethyl."
