I wonder if leona smith still lives there?

My kid will be 18 later this month so not getting a kick.

Being old makes me feel old.

thermo: meh, 42, married, no kids. We do whatever we want, when we want. Sometimes that is go to bed at 9pm, sometimes it's pub crawl and ganja till 4am, and sometimes it Vegas for the hell of it. That list didn't make me feel old at all, nor does playing vinyl records on my turntable, or saying I worked on MS-DOS 6.

Now, going to the doctor these days, that's a whole different story.

Just so you know... you're not the only one(s).

Well... except for the Vegas and ganj, but that's mostly due to proximity and testing prospects...

brap: I guess I don't age myself by inane pop-cultural signifiers. Whew, dodged another bullet.

This. I didn't know who/what a good chunk of the things on this list were and didn't give a fark about the rest.

i realized i was old when i displayed the album year in iTunes. the majority of my music there is from CD rips and there is nothing newer then 1998. wow.

I didn't know who those people were then and I don't now. Going to bed tired and getting up tired makes me feel old. Where did my energy go?

It's good to see that the oldest Hanson kid finally grew into his teeth.

fark that- my earliest memory is my parents waking me up for the Apollo 11 moon landing. I didn't really understand what it was- just some blurry photos on TV. That was 42 farking years ago.

The other one that always drives it home for me is when I mention 9/11 in class my first-year students don't always understand the visceral reaction- they were only 8 after all. A few more years and they won't have experienced it at all- it will just be something they read about in a book.

malarkey!!

Therion: TV is in color now?

Yes, and you don't even have to get up to change the channel !

OMG, my kids are old enough to remember some of the items on that list

I think once you have kids, you must enter some kind of time warp. My oldest is 13, and if you had asked me about a lot of the stuff on that list that happened 12-15 years ago, off the top of my head I would have probably guessed that it was 5 or 6 years ago. With a little thought I'm sure I could come a lot closer, but damn. It just doesn't seem that long ago.

The other way I know I'm getting old? I've worked at a K-12 school since I graduated from college. When I started, I would see a girl and think "Damn, that chick is hot!". Now I think "Damn, I'll bet that girl's mom is hot!!".

ZAZ: dmegin

You'll know you're old when you think the mom's hotter.

Or just have issues. *raises hand*

No shiat, every goddamned morning....

someone look up leona smith, who lived in san francisco ca 20 years ago, and ask her how old she feels...

I feel old now since it is common to see NBA rookies that were born after I graduated from HS.

Those K-6 girls were hotter when you started than they are now?

dmegin: When I stated working at my job at a university 3/4 of the students where older than me and I had student workers 3 years older than me. Now when the tours and orientations happen I see parents younger than me or my age and being a typical male I check out both mom and daughter

Do go on...

markie_farkie: What's even more amusing is the fact that in about 20 more years, there will be an entire generation of old farks with walkers, colostomy bags, and dentures listening to Megadeth while they gum a plate of steamed whitefish and creamed corn before going to bed at 5:30.

I do that already.

French fries! I want more french fries!

Fun fact they missed - the boy from Jurassic Park played one of the lead roles in the HBO series 'The Pacific' (Sledgehammer).

Not much of this stuff made me feel old, I guess since I didnt pay attention to it when it was around. Goosebumps? Surge soda?

Now - my back, neck, shoulders, etc from being a runner for 30 of my 42 years? Ugh.

a bunch of crap hipsters remember when they where little kids, that's way they are so farked up now

You know what really makes me feel old?

A "does this make you feel old" article in which I don't recognize most of those cultural references because when they were relevant I WAS ALREADY OLD.

vossiewulf: The pepsi girl: only woman whose dimples could suck the chrome off a bumper.

/when I was a kid: four channels on TV, no car seats or airbags and few seat belts, single land line telephones, when you ordered something from a catalog you'd be lucky to get it in 6 weeks, video games were called pinball machines

When TV finally came to our town,3 channels( good weather permitting),no seat belts at all,party lines,pinball machines a work of the devil,and oh yeah,the catalog went straight to the outhouse. You should get off my lawn,kid.
