I am so old

[ChefRex]

Edith and Archie!

I used to sing along with them when we watched the show, but I never knew all of the lyrics before.

Man, some of you guys are OLD though.

One of the best shows ever!

 

[Jacob_Marley]

Boy the way Glenn Miller Played
Songs that made the Hit Parade
Guys like us we had it made
Those were the days.

Song firmly planted in my brain, thanks.

If you can't stop it from playing, you could try to cancel it out with another obsessive song, for instance "Ob-la-di Ob-la-da".

If really bad, you could invoke the nuclear option: the Meow Mix jingle. (Hint: the first word is "Meow" ... I will not speak the rest.
Er, ok, all the words are "meow".)

Though this might be a case of the cure being worse than the ailment.

When I started to school my allowance was 11 cents a day. Either I am very old or my parents were very cheap.

I'm so old my balls have liver spots.
I'm so old Moses stopped me and asked directions.
I'm so old I poop dust.

I thought you were, like, 35. I know for a fact Moses is, like, 45 or something.

I'm so old,

my favorite childhood shows were:

Hogans Hero's
Gilligans Island
The Honeymooners
Gomer Pyle USMC
Andy Griffith

And watching Billy-Klubb waddle around in his diapers.

[GHBWNY]

I'm so old...

I saw Peter, Paul & Mary in person...
I saw Donovan in person...
I saw Chicago in person...
I saw Janis Joplin in person...
I saw about every band there was in person...

Oh, wait a minute, I was at Woodstock!

What happens in Thailand, stays in Thailand, except herpes.

If you were at Woodstock, you don't remember Woodstock.

I'm so old I heard my favorite song in an elevator the other day.

[Black Island Brewer]

Old enough to have had blue fingertips and getting high off the mimeograph machine.
Old enough to have watched the first episode of Sesame Street.
Old enough to to know why "Oh-two-one-three-four" always ended with "Send it to Zoom!"
Old enough to have had jerry cans strapped to the back of the station wagon when on family vacation because you didn't know if there would be an open gas station, and whether or not they'd actually have any gas.
But young enough to have never had to type a college paper on a typewriter.

 

[ubnserved]

I'm not as old as some on here but I do remember JFK's funeral.
I remember when the Beatles were newly popular and learning their songs so that I could entertain my older sisters' friends.
I remember the "dirty old man" in our small town that everyone warned their kids about but was never arrested or institutionalized for being a pedophile.
I remember the town drunk that everyone knew about and who was never the target of an intervention.
I remember the first time I tasted beer - my dad's Olympia he was drinking with a couple of guys after they re-roofed the fire department. I was probably 4 or 5.

Well if you remember Olympia do you remember Lucky L or better yet Rainier. I remember sneaking some Rainier in the garage when I was about 12. Boy did I get in trouble!

Ah... the ol' mimeograph fumes! No wonder I always volunteered to pick up the copies in the front office.

I saw ZZ Top performing inside a junior college gymnasium. That's been awhile back. I would love to have seen Janis Joplin.

I am old enough;

to know what a jerry can is.

I remember Lucky with the little puzzles under the bottle cap. Mrs. Betcher used to bring me one after I mowed her yard. My cousin from the Portland, OR, area favored Rainier but I didn't see it in the stores much here in No. Cal.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

I knew all the mummies in Egypt when they were kids.
I created the "Big Bang". it was a practical joke that went awry. you're welcome.

Re: Woodstock. We were five country bumpkins 19-20 years old from the farmlands of Western New York. We heard about it on our local radio station (WKBW Buffalo) thinking, "Wow, all these awesome music groups in one place!" and ordered tickets --- $7.50 apiece per day! Which I still have, since there was no place to turn them in when we got there. Several hundred Hell's Angels on their bikes were the "gate" we had to walk through to get to the hillside. No one, including us, ever expected it to turn into the historic event that it did. Quite an eye-opener for a bunch of young bucks who thought they had already seen and knew everything about life.

I remember when cable tv came with a corded box to change channels.

I moved to Nebraska to live with relatives back in the early 80's. There were commercials for Rainier here in the mid 80's but haven't heard anything since not sure if either are still around. Was living in Grass Valley outside of Camas in a foster home when pulled my stunt.

I'm so old I remember the first time in modern history St. Helens erupted and it dumped ash on everything. Silly people thought it was OK to use windshield wipers to clean it off. Was living in Vancouver at the time.

I remember those. .... remote not included!

I'm so old that kids were used as TV remotes!
I'm so old I remember when HBO became prominent in the late 70's 8 years after it started it would be another 5 years before I ever saw it about the time MTV started their "I want my MTV" advertising making it about 12 years after it started. Getting cable was back the was luck, enough people in your neighborhood had to want it or you had to pay for them to run it down the road to your area. Really suckered for those living in rural areas like me.
