Ya Know You're Old When....

[DesertPirate]

you probably know my Granny...she was god's older sister...think I told you about her earlier.

And a delightful lady she was

Before cars came with seat belts or brakes on all 4 wheels

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Or head-rests!

You know you're older when the music you grew to is now played on Elevators.

Your first three cars had the exact same engine. You just moved it from body to body as they rotted out.

You know what a Backhouse is and how to take care of one.

You remember a time when AIDS wasn't a part of life.

Your graduation year is way too close to the first page of the college 'class notes.'

You remember whaen Og was a messboy for Noah on the Arc

Sorry. I was old long before Noah was born.

King Og was one of the ancient non-human survivors from before The Deluge. I rode on the roof of the Ark.

Metal dashboards.

Metal dashboards.

True! No plastic door panels back in the day. And there were fake chrome knobs on the dashboard and locks.

A friend had a 64 Chevy truck and a guy with a new one ran into the rear in a parking lot. $2500 damage to the new one. We fixed the bumper on the 64 with some sandpaper and spray paint

You mean it actually required repair? I'm shocked. They just don't make them like they did in the 50s and 40s when you just left it because there wasn't any damage in the first place
(kidding, I know there would still be damage)

 

[Fallenfromgrace]

your fiance has never heard of REO Speedwagon....

I have now!

 

[Belegon]

I have now!

well, then...

what about Frampton, ELO, Yes, Boston and Kansas?

 

[starlightqueen]

Please, everyone who has played Guitar Hero should be ashamed of themselves if they don't know Boston and Kansas, anyway.

I've just only heard them through my playstation

Yeah. It's a wonder anybody finds a place to put those magnetic ribbons on.

Oh, well, now you're getting modern. I was already in my late thirties before video games even came around, let alone playstations. Pinball machines used to be the thing, with their flashing lights and bells and loud scoreboards.

"Sleeping in" 'til 8:30 is a rare luxury.

 

[DesertPirate]

"Sleeping in" 'til 8:30 is a rare luxury.

What is this sleeping in you speak of?

What is this 'Sleeping in' thing you speak of?

Damn, you beat me to the punch.

 

[TheeGoatPig]

That's just creepy...

I've actually heard that Rock Band and Guitar Hero may be leading a resurgence in Classic Rock. Introducing the classic guitar songs to a younger generation.

Not a bad idea. Most of what they call "music" isn't.

And our parents said that about our music.

The cycles never end.

 

[TxRad]

Speaking of music.

Do you remember when country and western were two different syles of music.

When I first started listening, which was about the time Hank Williams died, it was called Hillbilly music.
