Tell me you're old without telling me you're old

[Jim Nazium]

I had to get a new phone this weekend because my old one, which I was perfectly happy with, ran on Android 10 and I need some apps for work which only run on Android 11 and later. After setting up my new phone, I went to plug in my earphones and ... there's no jack to plug them in .

I can't hear the 15kHz whine of my CRT anymore.

 

[WI Short Scaler]

My joints sound like Rice Krispies when I move too fast. Snap, crackle, pop, what's that noise?

 

[BargeOn]

I only like a P bass. With flats. Won't play anything else. The new guitars don't have that real bass tone.

 

[FunkHead]

I ran out of room on "the Cloud". I have no idea how to fix it.

I voted for Thomas Jefferson - when he ran for the House of Burgesses. He was such a nice young man.

When I was in elementary school, I didn't notice that my pocket knife had fallen out of my pocket when I was in PE class. Somebody found it and turned it in to the office. I was called down to see the principal, who gave me my knife back, reminded me to be careful not to drop it, and sent me back to class. My parents were not called, neither were the police, a SWAT team, nor trauma counselors, and absolutely nothing went on "lockdown." Everybody just went on about their normal day, because it was.

I watched The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show.

After they made my eyes, they broke the eye mold.

Have you tried yelling at it?

"It ain't the years, it's the mileage..."

 

[ugly_bassplayer]

I actually watched and listened to live shows.

 

[Auer]

You got a quarter, I gotta make a phonecall?

 

[Jefenator]

Three words: Sesame Street Disco.

You got a quarter, I gotta make a phonecall?

Or a dime.

Led Zeppelin, Madison Square Garden, 7/28/1973.

That used to be my age-identifier. I had a monitor with (apparently) a very loud annoying high pitched whine; if someone came into my office and said "Sheesh! What's that horrible noise?" I knew they were under 30.

Or a dime.

Yep, I remember when candy bars went from a nickel to a dime. Oh, the panic. Especially when my allowance was only like 50 cents a week back then.

I used to walk about 3/4 mile, unaccompanied, to elementary school. And we'd walk home. Sometimes through the woods.

We used to play all day at the park.
