Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things :

The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1984. They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.

Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.

The CD was introduced the year they were born.

They have always had an answering machine.

They have always had cable.

They cannot fathom not having a remote control.

Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.

They never took a swim and thought about Jaws. :0

They can't imagine what hard contact lenses! are.

They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.

They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", or "de plane Boss, de plane".

They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.

McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

Do you feel old yet? Pass this on to the other old fogies in your life, and don't forget the youngins so they can see what the stone age was like ;-)
 
My wife and I both sat here and read your post and laughed and laughed. . .

THEN, we really started feeling old. :(

GREAT POST JOE! ! !
 
This is way to good to keep to oneself! Can't wait to share it :thumbs:

And if I can add one more Joe.

Walking over hills,mountains, through 4 feet of snow to get that deer.

Sitting in a tree stand hoping one acidently wakes me up (then hoping I can startle it so it has a heart attack because i cant aim anymore)
 
i was L'ingOL :D


then reality set in....i'm oooooold :(
 
this yrs college class would think parachute pants
are some sort of skydiving aparatus! :p
 
if they saw an 8-track tape, they would think it
was a video game cartridge(and an obsolete one at that!)
 
they would be surprised to learn that michael jackson
was once a black man
 
they would also be suprised to learn that the reason
MTV stands for Music Television is because they
actually played music videos.
 
Great way to come back from vacation to be reminded how old I am ;) LOL buddy thanks for the morning humor :D

BenjieV :D
 
LMAO....I can't wait to pass this on to some friends.

Of course I can laugh because I'm not as old as you ol' farts. I'm just old enough to have experienced and remember all of these things.

Here's a few more extinct items:

Atari was the best and ONLY game system

5 1/4" floppy disks the only disk that was actually floppy

The original Dukes of Hazard (the second cast couldn't compare)

And what the hell happend to the prices of pay phones, soda machines and postage?
 
Heck, I remember when gramps and I would get up before dawn, kick the sh!# out of the chickens so they could wake up grandma. We would go down to the creek and find some stones and sharpen them on the bigger rocks. Then, we would go to the hemp field and make some small rope to tie the rocks onto a piece of hickory. We would sneak down into the valley and wait for the buffalo. Gramps would grab one by its ears and I would spear it. We drug the buffalo back to the farm with our donkey and skinned him. We made coats and shoes for everyone in the family and prepared the meat for grandma to cook for breakfast. After all this was done, the sun was almost ready to come up. It was tough back then boys... you have no idea.
 
come here and i'll show you who's an ol' fart!!!............now where'd
i put that walker......................................................................

HELP!! i've fallen, and i can't get up!!!
