...then again, all the gray hairs on king lek's chin are a gift from me that keeps on giving...i am proud of each and every one i caused...
I just plucked a long gray hair from my EAR.
That's it, where's my wheelchair? With Manticora rims and a Marshall cab rigged to the back?
I refuse to believe that I'm old, no matter what the numbers say. Or the grey eyebrows that I keep plucking. I don't mind so much the grey on my head - it's not THAT obvious (to me, at any rate). And yes, I remember life without microwaves and cell phones, and dialing a phone was really what you did. And I fondly recall our first vcr, which was a top-loader. And RECORDS. You know, those vinyl things that have grooves and covers where you can actually see the artwork.
Thank you all for this thread depressing the hell out of me!
Yes, I recall blck and white TVs with 7 channels, clickers that changed the channel by spinning the dial, MTV starting up and <gasp> playing music videos, Atari being a great home gaming console, etc . . .
I'm going grey now, but since I've been 17 years old I've been saying that I don't care what color my hair turns, so long as it stays in my head!

How about remembering watching Neil Armstrong walking on the moon?
PONG bitches...haha!
How about remembering Sputnik, now that is old.
I don't have 1/3 gray and I don't remember when Capt. Kangaroo was new, but I do remember waatching t as a little kid. All the rest on your list... yes, I remember! But 38 isn't old, damn it! At least not for me!
I just plucked a long gray hair from my EAR.
I got three words for you people...
EIGHT TRACK TAPES.
yes, I remember listening to 38-Special, The Eagles, Bob Seger, Billy Joel, and many others in the late 70's and 1980-82 on my dad's 8-track tape player(s). My cousin had AC/DC, Van Halen, REO Speedwagon, ELO, and others where I discovered many hard rock artists. From there it was a downhill slide into metal with cassettes and albums (yes, Alicia - I remember 'vinyl' and still own about 75 albums).
So since last Saturday?
Bryan, if you're old, then I'm old too.. and I don't wanna be old yet, so you ain't old either... kapeesh?!
......then again, I remember rotary phones and pre-cell life! AND I can't grow a goatee!! I'M DOOOMED!
Better than plucking them out of elsewhere!
That's officially "OLD" - Yep, I'm in the same boat too! I always say my mental age remains somewhere between 6 & 90, but I'm physically 43....
I got my first grey hair around 18-19, pretty much salt /peeper grey now.
Maybe I'll color it this year? Color suggestions anyone???
I was 5 when that happened, and I still remember watching it on our "giant" console TV that had NO remote. You had to get up off your ass and chance channels AND fine tune them in.....
I played pong, but my first console was the atari 2600.
Shit John, I'm not THAT old!
You youngsters are really starting to piss me off!
LOL. Kind of a gift to yourself, eh?
And I still remember when gasoline was 79 cents a gallon.
I'm 43, but I refuse to grow the hell up!
I've got ya by six years!!!!!!! I'm probably close to being the oldest on this board !! Still kicking butt though and never wanna grow up!
Pshaw. I bought gas for 79 cents a gallon back in 1998. I remember 'cuz it was just before the first time I went to Sweden.
As for Captain Kangaroo, microwaves, etc... I remember all that shit, leaded gas, AND BetaMax VCRs. And I'm not yet 34, so I KNOW I'm not old (maybe I just have a good memory??). Neither are ya'll... haven't you read KittyBeast's signature???
Signed, the Young'un
I've got ya by six years!!!!!!! I'm probably close to being the oldest on this board !! :
I would just like to point out that you quoted everyone but me. I feel special. *rolls eyes* /tease
