Ya wanna feel old?

How many of use grew up with Dick Van Dyke?

Dude's coming close to 100 in a few months.

Sure hope he makes it.

 

[Kumquatqueen]

Bet he still can't do a Cockney accent!

Little before my time, but remember the reruns of his shows on....UHF so I'm getting there.

Similar here. Parents watched it, I didn't "get it" as a youngster, and still didn't in reruns.

Interesting to note he's still around, one of those semi-famous types where your first reaction in any conversation is, "He's still alive?"

 

[Voboy]

Yeah, same, I'm not old enough to appreciate his show.

But his name is GREAT for Lit.

 

[NotWise]

Not before my time. I envied him working with Mary Tyler Moore.

I saw (got dragged to see) Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins when they first came out. He was all over Disney stuff. The sitcom was one of the funniest and funnest I remember seeing back then. The stuff between Rose Marie, Morey Amsterdam and Richard Deacon was pure comedy gold in ways you don't see any more.

I watched reruns of his show.

Mel Brooks is another. The man's 99 and still producing movies...

I used to watch Diagnosis Murder with my dad.

 

[MyrrdinCCR]

I'm old enough to remember a lot of his work. One of my movies he did is Lt. Robin Crusoe, USMC (1966). If you don't get the reference, I'm very sorry.

He sings a song in the movie that sounded familiar, until he changes the words. In researching, I found out it was also on an episode of the Dick Van Dyke Show.

Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody
. . . She’s really Uncle Fred

Not sure if people would find that offensive today, but back when I first saw the movie, in the early 70's, it was hilarious.

Kate Winslet turns 50 in October.

Kate Winslet turns 50 in October.

The question was "Do you want to feel old?", not "How old is a woman you want to feel?"

 

[ericalauren]

I’m surprised that people can live that long! I’m hoping that my aunt (who is 96 now) lives to be 100, at least.

The question was "Do you want to feel old?", not "How old is a woman you want to feel?"

the word starts with f but deviates thereafter.

Fondle? Flagellate? Furtively follow?

Florisugence.

Florisugence.

I had to get Sir David Attenborough to explain that one. He’s 99 but he still cracked a smile, if nothing else.

Young MC is almost 60
