This won't help you...

But it will bring back some memories and stuff.

I was born in 1984:

I only knew Reagan was shot by a very poor Sky film caleld "The Day Reagan Got Shot"
I was prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was waged.
There has been only one Pope in my lifetime.
I was 9 when the Soviet Union broke apart and do not remember the Cold War.
I am too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.
Tienamen Square doesn't mean nothing to me - I've read about it in a history book!
Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.
Atari predates me, as do vinyl albums.
I have never owned a record player.
I have played Pac Man and have heard of Pong. I was the proud owner of a BBC-B
The Compact Disc was introduced when I was born.
I have never seen a black and white TV.
There have always been VCRs, but I don't remember BETA at all.
I don't know what a cloth baby diaper is, or know about the "Help me, I've fallen and I can't get up" commercial.

Feeling old Yet? There's more:
Walkmen predated me.
I have no idea when or why Jordache jeans were cool.
I have never seen Larry Bird play. More than that, I have no idea who Larry Bird is.
I have never heard: "Where's the beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel," or "De plane, de plane!"
I do not care who shot J.R.
Michael Jackson was kind of a two-tone in-between when I first saw him.
I don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

However, this one I know:
They don't know who Mork was or where he was from. (The correct answer, by the way, is Ork).

Everyone knows Mork! Nanoo Nanoo!

I was born in 1974

My brother and I mentioned cassettes in a conversation. His son was listening (11 years old). He said, "What's a cassette?"

 

[Leeleigh]

I was born in 1955... lord I really feel old now.

I remember someone asking me who the Beatles were...

On the other hand, live and learn.... the next part of my life has begun, and its going to be grand.

The Beatles wasn't that some band Paul McCartney was in before Wings?

(So we'll both be *gasp* 50 this year!)

Saturday night, my friend and I went to my stepmom's house.
We put in a CD that featured the song "Tequila".
My friend, myself, and the stepmom were being goofy, and attempted to do the Pee-Wee Herman dance at the same time. We about fell all over ourselves laughing.
My 11 year old sister and her friend looked at us like we were nuts, so we told them it was a classic move from the Pee-Wee Herman movie.
The mongrel children looked at eachother, shrugged, looked at us, and said, "Don't know it."

What is the world coming to!?!?!?! Pee-Wee wasn't that long ago! LOL.

 

[rgraham666]

Don't laugh lil_elvis. That actually happened to me.

Standing in a record store one day, late '70s.

Behind me some li'l teenybopper says "Jeez, did you know Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?"

(Dead silence fell over the store)

Everybody looked thinking "No, not possible." She and her pubescent companion were either very good actors or dead serious. I vote for serious.

I wasn't yet twenty five, and I felt old.

Tienamen Square doesn't mean nothing to me - I've read about it in a history book!

Dear God! That makes me feel old! I watched it happen on television.

I have never seen Larry Bird play. More than that, I have no idea who Larry Bird is.

Heresy! He was one of the stars on the much-feared Boston Celtics basketball team. They were great, just not as great as the Lakers. This was in the days when players didn't switch teams three times a season, but stayed with a team, sometimes for their entire career.

I don't remember all the Celtics players, because obviously I'm not a fan....but Kevin...somebody, I hated - he was a dirty player. The Celtics and the Lakers were HUGE rivals then. On the Lakers at the same time were Kareem Abdul Jabar, Magic Johnson, A.C. Green, and James Worthy. *sigh* Those were the days.

When I was engaged to be married, we were required to attend pre-cana conferences in order to be "allowed" to marry in the Catholic church. They were actually kinda interesting. The last week ("graduation" LOL), they had 4 couples come in to talk to the class. One had been married 5 years, one 10 years, one 20 years, and one 30 years. They were each asked to impart pearls of wisdom.

The oldest couple said, "Sex gets better after 50."

Everyone chuckled. What blew me away was that the priest responded, "Yes, it does."

I'll never forget it.

We had to do that to, and that was only 7 years ago. The only thing I remember was about 4 hours spent on telling us that birth control was a sin. I slept through the rest of it.

Err... who's Pee-Wee Herman?

[English Lady]

Earl..you are 2 years younger than my little sister! well I'd not have known if i'd not read this.

(only vaguely aware of Pee wee Herman myself, never saw the film)

1978 here so I would like to still classify myself as young...except I see police officers and think how young they look and complain about "the youth of today"

Aside from Bird, there was Kevin McHale (who didn't play dirty, he was just such a good defensive player it pissed everybody off) Dennis Johnson, Robert "The Chief" Parrish, Danny Ainge and as sixth man on the bench, Bill Walton.

Sorry, my fav all time team. Even if the Lakers ultimately dominated.


Does that date me?

"BIRD STOLE THE BALL!!!"

Lakers fan, can you tell?

McHale was TOO dirty!

 

[eric shawn listo]

Lakers fan, can you tell?

McHale was TOO dirty!

It was a teensy bit obvious.


He was not! Just under everyone's nose.

 

[Belegon]

ESL, don't let your loyalties blind you to truth.

Kevin Mchale was a good defender. He was also a dirty player. Not nearly as bad as some others (Bill Laimber(sp?) comes to mind) but he did play the rough edges of the rules.

and yes, I know Junior Seau was a showboater, just so no one accuses me of homer-ism.


My favorite Laker remains Michael Cooper.

Oh, okay.

But if we agree Laimber was the dirty player, can we call McHale a "naughty" player?


Anyway, gotta go play with my tool box.

Yeah, real tools.

Not a sports fan in general, but damn I used to have some hot fantasies about a threesome with Magic Johnson & Michael Jordan. Whew!
