My first car was an 1986 oldsmobile cutlass supreme. What a piece of junk. Hated that car so much.

Had the six million dollar man, you could look through the back of his head through is eye and get his bionic vision

Gave up on trying to play six million dollar man with friends though cause they would be criminals running at top speed and I would try to catch them going “ch ch ch ch” running in slow motion…

they made a crap movie about it with Tom hanks!

Remember when that ship flew over our heads and we were like “cool” then that Star Destroyer followed and we were all like “nothing will ever be the same again!”

My eyes are getting bad. That’s how I know I’m getting old. That and my back always hurt.

Armalite-emerald-dream · March 4, 2021, 5:08pm

getting it to play twinkle little star by programming the beeps was the highlight

You know you’re old when you’ve been around longer than the original Star Trek series.

Also I had to listen to .45 records on a battery powered portable record player before 8 track tapes came out.

My first vehicle was a 1966 Dodge Pickup with AM radio and automatic transmission with the shifter on the dash that I paid for using my after school job where I made $2.85 an hour .

My 40th HS reunion was cancelled. Wasn’t going to go anyway since it’s on the other side of the country and after the 30th reunion, I looked at the pictures on FB and recognized maybe three people and a dozen names. Very disconcerting.

I was born in 1977, hitting high school right as the grunge phase took off in the U.S.

The first time I felt old, I was in a supermarket. The muzak playing seemed SO familiar but I couldn’t…

WHAT?

WHAT?! Is that Smells Like Teen Spirit transcribed to easy listening?!

I was a whopping 21 years old. How in the heck was Nirvana being played as muzak in a grocery store in 1998?

Sorry.
