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!

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

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