Things that make you feel old - Page 2

jeff061 · 07-21-2011, 11:36 AM

I had heard tons of Tears for Fears songs and no idea the name of the band until I was in my 20s.

Pumpy Tudors · 07-21-2011, 12:13 PM

I was bowling with some kids a few months ago, aged 18 and 17, and I mentioned how I once danced to "Sunglasses at Night" with my mother on a Halloween night in a gay bar. The only thing that fazed them was that they'd never heard of "Sunglasses at Night." Ugh.

jeff061 · 07-21-2011, 12:19 PM

WTF is Sunglasses at Night gramps?

Pumpy Tudors · 07-21-2011, 12:20 PM

See? Nobody cares about the fact that I was in a gay bar with my mother on Halloween.

jeff061 · 07-21-2011, 12:22 PM

You do seem to enjoy talking about sweaty balls....just saying.

Where did she play basketball?

What makes me feel old? This heat. This heat and the way it makes me feel old.

JediKooter · 07-21-2011, 12:43 PM

Not sure if this should make me feel old or young, but, if I bang that cute 21 year old bartender, I would think that she would make me feel young.

Suicane75 · 07-21-2011, 12:44 PM

Bangin isn't the hard part, it's the skating and hiking and the this and that she'll want to do after wards.

No, you'd just feel old after falling asleep in the middle of it.

If I time it right, she'll have to go to work after we're done banging.

Sun Tzu · 07-21-2011, 12:47 PM

Yeah, and the herps she gives you will make you feel liked a bona-fide teenager!

JediKooter · 07-21-2011, 12:49 PM

You Sam Malone?

JonInMiddleGA · 07-21-2011, 01:22 PM

I suspect that by tomorrow I'll be able to add "going to a concert at a club" to this list.

Sorry I missed your post...I fell asleep.

rlmayer32 · 07-21-2011, 03:59 PM

My daughters wedding last Saturday sure didn't make me feel any younger.

JonInMiddleGA · 07-22-2011, 01:30 AM

I believe my suspicion was correct, pretty sure it's safe to add "going to a concert at a club".

My neck is gonna be sore in the morning (my back is already killing me after standing for about 5 hours).

Ksyrup · 07-22-2011, 06:42 AM

The only concerts I go to are at clubs. I don't go all that often, though. I haven't been to an arena for a show since... the early 90s maybe? I must be forgetting some show I've seen in the past 20 years.

Amphitheaters are the new "arenas" I think.

Off hand, the only arena show I've seen in the last 20 years was Metallica (with somewhat unlikely opening acts Trapt & Chevelle). Everything else has been outside IIRC.

cougarfreak · 07-22-2011, 11:43 AM

The fact my doctor put me on testosterone last week? That's an eye opening experience. I had noticed my temper flaring quite a bit, as well as some serious mood swings. Enough that my wife said some, so I was proactive and did some research. Sure enough, after bloodwork came back, I was deemed very low.

Make sure you start no more than 3 minutes before she has to leave then

I think I can get it down to a minute and a half.

tucking fypo · 07-22-2011, 08:47 PM

Watching the "Greatest One-Hit Wonders of the 90's" on VH1 Classic is a classic feel old moment.

Mustang · 07-22-2011, 10:17 PM

When my daughter is my age...

The Beatles will have been broken up for around 78 years.

War Vets from the first Gulf War will be in their 70's

WWII Vets (based on Frank Buckles age) will have been gone for around 8 years.

Me knowing WWII vets to her kids will be the equivalent of my grandparents knowing Civil War Vets.

Justin Bieber will be 54.

All the presidents up to now might be dead. (Obama would be the oldest at around 87)

tucking fypo · 07-23-2011, 10:15 AM

That just blew my mind, mustang, because I'm thinking we're the same age.

Passacaglia · 07-23-2011, 10:32 AM

Either that, or you're too old to do the math properly

CU Tiger · 07-23-2011, 01:53 PM

We had some friends over the other night and played some board game knock off of outburst.

I picked a music category. Each category had 10 answers a point for each...the question Garth Brooks songs. My daughter, "Garth Brooks, who is SHE?"...

that made me feel old.

JonInMiddleGA · 07-23-2011, 03:30 PM

Wearing bifocals (as of this afternoon)

ColtCrazy · 07-23-2011, 04:02 PM

Okay, Mustang's list aged me 5 years. When my youngest (twins) are my age, I'll be 70. By comparison, my dad is 63 now. Ugh.

PilotMan · 07-23-2011, 11:58 PM

Seeing all the old guys who used to be on my baseball cards coaching and managing now. Oh, and Davey Johnson looks like Casey Stengel now.

You made me double check, do the math wrong on the recalc, fix it.. realize I was right and change it back. I must be getting old.

My daughter will be 41 on August 29, 2048.

cartman · 07-26-2011, 08:36 PM

When I went to the Rolling Stones concert at the Cotton Bowl back in '90, it had been 25 years since 'Satisfaction' had been released. For folks going to the U2 concerts this year, it has been 25 years since 'The Joshua Tree' was released.

I feel old when I see players I grew up watching play now head coaches (ex: Jim Harbaugh--I still remember him in the 1996 AFC Championship Game).

MizzouRah · 02-10-2012, 12:39 PM

I've listening to 70's and 80's music on satellite radio and my kids just stare into space as I sing along.

heybrad · 02-10-2012, 02:05 PM

I just saw an article on Yahoo that the hot teacher in Van Halens 'Hot for Teacher' video is now 60.

She looks great for 60 but it still made me feel old.

To piggy back on this, it makes me feel old when guys I watched have kids playing.

Blackadar · 02-10-2012, 02:24 PM

The family was watching Tron2 on TV the other week. At one point, the hero finds out that an old pager that his father used to use recently got a page.

My 12 year old son turned to me and asked, "Dad, what's a pager?"

I remember when I wasn't embarrassed when hearing Steven Tyler sing.

fortheglory · 02-10-2012, 03:28 PM

When Marty went back in time 30 years he went from 1985 to 1955. In the sequel he went 30 years into the future 30 years to the year 2015 where there was a professional baseball team in Miami. We are three years from that date.

Wolfpack · 02-11-2012, 12:31 AM

To hear someone say or read that something hasn't happened since 1992, for example, which doesn't seem that long ago, but then get broadsided by the realization that it's 20 years ago now.

Most recently this occurred when I was perusing the State board tonight and saw a thread about the last time State beat Duke at Cameron when Coach K was the head coach. It was 1988. Dammit, that was 24 years ago??! (The Coach K qualifier excludes the one win in 1995 when K had to step down for a year due to health issues.)
