Do you have to be old to know you can't have this? I assumed that everyone over the age of 40 knew that he'd croaked in their lifetime.

A true measure of moldy-oldieness is how many hysterically funny political jokes you can remember -- that are completely obsolete now.

A punchline: "The undivided attention of Chairman Mao."

3 old men are walking down the street.

1 says "Sure is windy today."

Another says "No, today's Thursday."

The third says "Me too, let's grab a beer."

If you introduce yourself to a pretty girl, and she says "You smell like my dad.", you're old.

Happened to me, true story.

To be fair, I was wearing Aqua Velva.

I was that weirded out that BF wore the same Calvin Klein scent as my Dad.

But when he dumped me I bought my Dad a whole set of another scent - spray, body wash, talc etc. I couldn't bear going into the bathroom and smelling the old familiar smell after he'd had a shower

Comes to something when you hope your Dad is going in to poo because at least that old familiar smell might make your eyes water sometimes but it won't actually make you cry.

You know you're old when old people feel free to share their age-related body disfunctions with you

You know you're old when this scene reminds you of the out-take when
King Kong slowly used his finger to expose Jessica Lang's breasts.

Some say it never happened, but some of us know better.

I have used a rotary dial phone to contact a mainframe computer. Once it started that warbling noise which you young whippersnappers think is the noise a fax machine makes, I had to then stick the handset into an acoustic coupler modem and hope that I did it fast enough for the handshaking to complete properly. It transmitted data at the blazingly fast speed of 300 baud.

I have used punchcards.

And paper tape.

And reel to reel, both for computers and for audio.

I owned (may still, haven't looked in all of the moving tubs, I don't remember if I kept it or not through the last couple moves) a Super-8 camera and projector.

I used to own a picture of John F. Kennedy printed on greenbar by an old-school impact printer. That I think either my dad ended up with in the divorce, or my mom threw out. But it hung in the front room in my childhood home in a place of honor.

I remember when transistor radios were the height of cool, and only came in AM. I had the ultra-cool Panasonic Toot-a-Loop radio, which could be worn as a really large bracelet.

I mourn the loss of the Bic Banana Pen. Which had a really annoying jingle.

There are, of course, a lot more, but those were the ones that kind of came to me.

This is a tough one especially when the complainer is a decade or more younger than you.

For what it's worth, it wasn't filmed in detail for the movie, but Time Magazine recreated the scene with the help from the movie people and Jessica Lang for publicity shots, and that small group of shots in Time Magazine is what you probably remember. They were much more revealing than the film.

As a kid, I saw those pictures in Time, and years later when I saw the movie, I was confused.

I'd have sworn it did happen... that the scene was in the film's first release, and then pulled before mass distribution.

But... I guess you really know you're old when you remember things that didn't happen !

Well, guys, there is this picture at this link of Jessica Lange:

Not going to post the pic here as it's mildly nsfw.
