You know you are old when

Hawkins is the drummer for Foo Fighters.

What makes it funny is I wonder about the studio conversation when forming the Foo Fighters David Grohl asking “Hey, anyone know a drummer?”

Rest of your post reads like an autobiography, though. I saw Star Wars, Wrath of Khan, Raiders of the Lost ark in the theater and still feel the best sitcom ever made was Taxi.

Yeah, Danny DeVito, Tony Danza, Christopher Lloyd, Marilu Henner, Judd Hirsch, and who could forget Andy Kaufman as Latka? For the time, it’s right up there with Barney Miller, Soap, Welcome Back Kotter, Night Court, and WKRP.

In order, very yes, seems familiar, and not at all.

How about Carol Burnett, Vicki Lawrence, Tim Conway, and Harvey Korman?

Soupy Sales, Crusader Rabbit, Romper Room, Sheriff John as well as Kukla, Fran and Ollie. Our first TV set looked like a giant oscilloscope with a small, round picture.

My apologies. Reading too quickly, I misread your comment about religion.

I initially thought you were discrediting science in general because they were wrong about what they thought in the 60’s.

My bad.

You know you are old when:
The only people you tell to get off your lawn are kids.
And you tell everybody to get off your lawn.

i knew i was old when gaming bruises didnt clear over a single night of sleep.

You forgot one that goes between those two:

  • Everyone younger than you is a kid.

You remember when “The Wizard of Oz.” was very special to see on Television.
And, everyone older than you, aren’t much older.
You know what a “church key” is for.

My Sears Beta player died a few years ago. I donated a large box of Beta tapes to a dude who works at a gaming store. They were all High End Sonys too.
