    Feeling Old Yet?

    Thought this would be kinda funny for those who can relate to it...

    1975: Long hair
    2005: Longing for hair

    1975: KEG
    2005: EKG

    1975: Acid rock
    2005: Acid reflux

    1975: Moving to California because it's cool
    2005: Moving to Arizona because it's warm

    1975: Trying to look like Marlon Brando or Liz Taylor
    2005: Trying NOT to look like MarlonBrando or Liz Taylor

    1975: Seeds and stems
    2005: Roughage

    1975: Hoping for a BMW
    2005: Hoping for a BM

    1975: Going to a new, hip joint
    2005: Receiving a new hip joint

    1975: Rolling Stones
    2005: Kidney Stones

    1975: Being called into the principal's office
    2005: Calling the principal's office

    1975: Screw the system
    2005: Up grade the system

    1975: Disco
    2005: Costco

    1975: Parents begging you to get your hair cut
    2005: Children begging you to get their heads shaved

    1975: Passing the drivers' test
    2005: Passing the vision test

    1975: Whatever
    2005: Depends

    Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things.. The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1987.

    They are too young to remember the first space shuttle blowing up on liftoff.

    Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

    Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.

    The CD was introduced the year they were born.

    They have always had an answering machine.

    They have always had cable.

    They cannot fathom not having a remote control.

    Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

    Popcorn ha s always been cooked in the microwave.

    They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.

    They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.

    They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.

    They never heard: "Where's the Beef?", "I'd walk a mile for a Camel",or "! de plane, Boss, de plane".

    They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.

    McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.

    They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

    Ha ha ha oh man I really do feel old reading that I can so relate

    My kid saw a picture of me at his age doing an assignment sitting at my typewriter... he asked "wheres the screen?" when I told him it wasn't a computer, it was a typewriter, he said "what the heck is that???" Man I felt old...

    Seeit man - Johhy Carson IS the Tonight Show. Leno got snagged out of his dead end career doing Doritos comercials and got the break of his life!

    Na - it wasn't Kevin Eubanks, he came in with Leno. It was Ed McMahon as the "yes, yes, you are correct sir!" and "heeeeeeeres Jonhhy!"... and Doc - a man... can't remember Doc's name (he was the band leader though)...

    Nope, it was Doc Severinsen at the head of the Tonight Show Band

    Doc is an AMAZING trumpet player and conducts "Big Band" swing music. Real impressive dude.
