the pepsi girl is not very cute....

[Viking Kitten]

Fun fact about the Pepsi girl. She is the sister of Jessie Eisenberg....(the actor who played Mark Zuckerberg in "The Social Network," also in "Zombieland").

I will add to that list... 20 years ago, the Beastie Boys were entering their "mature" period.

[ouleaf]

Pretty good list....liked No's 5, 6, 10, & 34 the best though.

[olevetonahill]

What makes ME feel old is my dayum body
Plus aint gots a clue what 1/2 that list is about

[NormanPride]

Neither do I and that list is aimed at me. I just don't pay attention to popular stuff that much.

That means you were old 10, 15, even 20 years ago . . .

[olevetonahill]

Hell at least 20

[Mississippi Sooner]

I ain't as old as vet, but a lot of that stuff was foreign to me, too.

[delhalew]

Some of that stuff is after my time, and I'm not even forty yet.

[delhalew]

I take that back. It might be that, much like NP, I just didn't give a damn enough to take notice.

I had never heard that about the Pepsi girl, but looking at her...it makes sense...they look exactly alike.

[AlbqSooner]

I remember when gas was 25 cents a gallon and as you stopped at the pump, three guys were all over your car. One pumping gas and checking the pressure in your tires, one washing your windows and outside mirrors, one under the hood checking the oil, battery and any other fluid levels you might have. All for 25 cents a gallon.

I also remeber when the only people with a Gold Master Card were pig freakin rich.

[Serge Ibaka]

I think that this list is more-effective if you're a 20-something.

I turn 24 next month; my folks will be the last "generation" that remember a time before the complete-saturation of internet and cellphones.

[cleller]

Lame-O. That's how-to-feel-old when you're really not.

I'm not saying I'm old, but my grandpa came to Oklahoma in a covered wagon. He really did. Saw Geronimo at Fort Sill. He was pretty old when I was a kid, though.

[mdklatt]

Family Guy has been on TV for 12 years

This doesn't make me feel old, it makes me feel sad for humanity.

You forgot having to "dial" a telephone.

[delhalew]

We had a rotary phone when I was a kid.

[StoopTroup]

This one is pretty funny....

[I Am Right]

Wow!

[KantoSooner]

hell, I remember life before computer graphics, having to convince my first boss that it might be a good idea to invest in one of those computer things ("I think they're here to stay"). I even remember life before CABLE TV. Hell, I remember when COORS BEER TASTED GOOD.

and now for the negatives: I remember when airplanes couldn't make the West Coast - Japan crossing in one hop, so you 'had' to lay over in Honolulu. God curse 747s. I remember when every car stereo blew chunks totally unless you dropped like $500 on a Blaupunkt (which would be like $500,000,000 in today's money). I remember life before AIDS. As an adult. I remember when you could catch an errant frisbee, football or baseball, throw it back to kids in the park and get caught up in a game of catch or touch football and not have DHS descend on you like you were John Wayne Gacy.

[Peach Fuzz]

****, you mean Coors isn't good?

I can understand that. My grandpa was born in a little town called Howe in the eastern part of Indian Territory. People look at me like I'm crazy when I say that, but then they start to understand when I tell them that the dude was almost 50 when my mom was born. He used to sit and tell stories about what Oklahoma was like in the early days of statehood for as long as anyone would listen. I'd give anything to be able to listen to those stories again now.

Dude...Coors (Banquet Beer) is still good! It's when all the "lights" and "ice" and "low cal" **** came out that....those sucked/continue to suck.

This list doesn't really make me feel old. It just reinforces my own perception that I really managed to miss a lot of TV in my younger days. Who is 'Clarissa' shown as number 2 on the list? All of the rest that flew over my head, I don't care about, although the Wikipedia read-up on Full House was kinda interesting. May catch a few episodes on re-runs someday.

If there is anything that makes me feel old, it's reminiscing fondly the days when I didn't have to screw around with this stupid touchscreen on my mobile phone (didn't even own a mobile phone until 2001).

I remember as a very young child sitting in front of the TV when they were going over the daily tally of Vietnam war casualties.

I was a subscriber to OMNI magazine until it went out of print. I still have most of those in a box in my attic somewhere.

[ouflak]

Who is 'Clarissa' shown as number 2 on the list?


Ok, found out that this an actress Melissa Joan Hart, who apparently starred in two successful shows, Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina the Teenage Witch, which are teen-oriented. I was already in my 20's when these shows came out and am notorious for missing such fare anyway.

[Taxman71]

The 20-somethings in my office were discussing the "90's band" they saw the other night. I am getting old, very old.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

The fact I can go to bed feeling good and wake up in pain makes me feel old.
