I only change 2 gears now, makes it easier to get over the bridge. I think I probably have 18 on my dad's old Trek. |

In some year when I still knew what was important in life, I remember watching my father fueling the car. I told him we need to drive less cuz one litre of petrol cost the same as one litre of milk.
Today a litre of milk in finland costs (milk that would be sold in the usa as GMO free, organic and produced on small farming units) € 0.87 per litre. Petrol is around 1.4 euros. I'm so fucking old I remember when the cows were seen as something to support instead of international energy companies.

Interesting to see all of the comments on here. Mine for the day: You know you are old when you keep posting in this thread. I'll see myself out.

So, all the time when I'm listening to the radio, and the beginning of a song (especially instrumental intro) comes on, I'm thinking "I can name that song in 4 notes" I want to tell these #whippersnappers about Name that Tune, but they won't understand.
Lo and behold, coming in January on Fox . . . |

You know you're old when you can tell the cop you had to pee really bad and he lets you go.

You know you're old when you didn't have a screen in your car that showed the name of the song playing.

I do too....I was in my teens listening to Milli Vanilli and Ace of Base on records while dreaming of becoming an adult. Now, I wish I could go back to those days minus the crappy music choices

When your girl starts rubbing your belly and you have a few seconds of thought about how much sleep this romp is going to cost you.................

How about the fax machines with the cylinders that you clipped the heat sensitive paper into? I think you could chose 2, 3 or 5 minutes per page? It smelled nasty. Or the telex machine? Damn I'm old.

That kid is driving too fast through the neighborhood...
Turn down your music Phones with 6 foot cords. No cell phones or Laptops. How about no microwaves when we were young. Frozen dinners got cooked in the oven. Popcorn was made an expanding aluminum foil pan on the stove. TV's had three channels, we had to get up to change the channel, and some were color, some were black and white. Cars all had V-8s and most of them were made in the USA. Gas was 30 cents a gallon. Johnny Rutherford won the Indy 500 in 1974 when I watched my first race. In an Offenhauser with team McLaren. There was no such thing as the internet. We read newspapers.
