Want to feel old?

[SkiDork]

I never understood why they needed that gap on each side of the track change. A dude I knew made his ownd 8 tracks, and he didn't need to put in the gap. It continuous through the click.

Probably cause I picked up the 8Track in the sale bin at "2 Guys" or "Caldors"

I feel old because college girls look like high school girls..

I bartend part time, and when I check some ID's, it blows my mind when their DOB is in let's say, March of 1987....... and they are old enough to drink! They were born and I was a junior in high school!

Last fall I transfered into a 4 year College. Before that it had taken me 3 years to get my 2 year degree at a community college, because of major changes.

At the new school I had to take a few classes that are required for all incoming students, so basically it was just me and a entire class of Freshmen. So here I was as a 21 yr. old(like most 4th year college students) and I would guess half of the rest of the students were 17..........Made me feel real old.

When I got out of the Army and went back to school I was 5 years older than everyone in my class. I got over it pretty quick since everyone was kinda interested in what's up with the old guy. :lol:

We watched man land on the moon in summer camp...

50 of us crowded around a 10" black and white TV...
It was a great moment!

I remember when John Hughes movies were hot..
Remember Max Heeadroom
Michael J Fox was Alex P. Keaten
Reebox pumps were the hot sneaker and I paid $130 for a pair
Vanilla Ice was on the scene..ya know what I mean
Arsenio Hall and Johnny Carson were on Late Night TV
Mr. Belvidere was everybodies favorite Butler
What You Talkin Bout Willis was a hot catch phrase
Charles was in Charge
Camcorders weighed 12 pounds
Only rich people had "Car Phones"
A 16 ounce soda was a large..not a small or medium
McDonalds didn't have the McRib
A rollercoaster with a single loop was a big deal
A John Oates moustache was considered fashionable on a 20-something man
Oregon Trail on the computer was the ill shiz-nit
Trading in the Atari 2600 for a 8-bit Nintendo was a big deal
Everybody was dancing on the ceiling..what a feeling
It was O.K. to Walk Like an Egyptian

I remember:

Actually having to get up off the couch to change the TV channel!
Getting your entire collection of kitchen glassware from the gas station when you filled-up.
Getting up at 6:00 in the morning on Saturday's, and having to watch those stupid outer space puppets while waiting for cartoon's to begin.
45's
Triple features at the Drive-in's
The Jolly Green Giant - Ho Ho Ho (no not Santa!)

Remember when cable TV first came out and the remotes were on a wire attached to a box... Each station had it's own button.... Different banks of buttons were controlled by a slider switch...

If your pressed the button for the porn channel half way down and jiggled the the bank selector - you could see the picture... kinda... But in the days before internet porn... that was a BIG deal...

Friends would come over just to watch...

Yup, I remember that too. Plus, from that era, I remember when MTV actually played music and *most* of it was decent! And even when that wired cable box with the slider switch had no MTV or ESPN

yeah... MTV was a good station but it didn't take long to realize that it would singly handedly make music suck for decades after...

MTV was cool.. Cause we used to have to stay up to watch Don Kirshner's Rock Concert to see what bands looked like....
