You're getting old when:

[Zamazam]

And Hawaii 5 0, with Savalas

And Mission Impossible with Spock! LOL

The dimmer switch was in the floorboard and the gas cap was behind the license plate.

My first car had the switch on the floor.

Used to watch Red Skelton and the Jackie Gleason show at my grandma's, and Daniel Boone too.

When you could lay on the hood the same car and not leave permanent dents.

Rockford files, Andy Griffith.

And Mr. Ed and bonanza

 

[Zamazam]

LOL, Space 1999! The Eagle Space Craft! Funky Aliens that transform and breathe Chlorine!

 

[Teresa P]

And before child restraint and mandatory seat belts, it was nothin' to drive down the road with a kid laying up in the back window...ha!

 

[joeyboy]

My first car had the switch on the floor.

Only one? That's why I have two hands. Cheap cars back in THOSE days.

 

[Teresa P]

Lost in Space...."Danger, Will Robinson, danger!" Lol!

 

[joeyboy]

Your old when you can sing the Lost in Space theme music.

 

[joeyboy]

Funny, thinking the same thing. @Teresa P

 

[Jimi]

The starter was on the floorboard too, off to the left and up a bit.

I can remember that. Remember push button transmissions

In high school, a friend worked two jobs all summer to by his brand new Maverick for $1700.

 

[RMarcusY]

Remember Bonanza
Didn't like it but it was in "color"

 

[AndriaD]

You remember your computer having a green screen, floppy drive, no HD and no mouse.

You remember using a dial phone, a record player and a black and white TV.

Guilty on all counts. I was working a temp job at IBM once, circa 1982ish... and my boss, knowing I'm in love with computers, drags me over to the R&D bldg to show me the monitor that allows you to type in different colors.

I think you're getting old when you realize that the world is just not GOING to hell, it's already THERE and GETTING WORSE STILL!!!!

[Jimi]

I had a 1952 triumph with a crank starter

 

[Teresa P]

8-track tapes, baaaaaahahahahahaaaa!

 

[AndriaD]

It's freakin' depressing, in my head I'm still 26, 27 years old, then I get up and look in the mirror and say to myself "WTF?????"
Feels like I'm being held hostage in my own body...shit...

It's like my body has become a hostile country! It's doing all kinds of shit I never approved!

[AndriaD]

When you can remember beatle boots

And all the lyrics to all the Beatle songs!

8-track tapes, baaaaaahahahahahaaaa!

$ track tapes that 8 track replaced

 

[Teresa P]

I was in love with Bobby Sherman and David Cassidy....lol!

I was talking about mavericks and comets the other day and what little hotrods people turned them in to. Too funny.

You wake up, have coffee and wonder how you got to work with mismatched socks, not remembering any of the commute, including getting gas and stopping off to get bagels. 30 Minutes chunks of your life dissapear.

I have up matching socks a long long time ago. I bought 3 bags of black crews. Now I figure 2 makes a pair and I'm done...

And Hawaii 5 0, with Savalas

it was NOT savalas, it was Jack Lord. Telly Savalas had an entirely different show -- he was quitting smoking and always had a lollipop.

Still got a van with a dimmer switch in the floor. Messes with me for the first 30 minutes of any trip... I keep flipping the damn turn signal.

The Mod Squad is still a recent TV memory.

And the mod squad is a recent movie nightmare?

Oh yeah, I even looked him up a few months ago.....after watching the show if course. I remember the lollipop, baby

Edit: I think that's a savalasism

We never watched The Waltons, we were too busy watching Laugh In and Flip Wilson!

And who can forget the blazing thrilling PONG!

I always wondered why they didn't just toss Dr Smith off on one of those weird planets and leave his annoying ass!

You made me laugh out loud. I can imagine.

But officer I was trying to dim the lights.

Remembering being a teen, cruising down the highway in the old man's Chrysler Imperial (with tail fins) listening to the Peter Gunn theme on his 8 track car stereo:

 

[shawn.hoefer]

8-track tapes, baaaaaahahahahahaaaa!

When some of the songs committed to memory don't sound right if there's not a kerchunk mid lyric.

I kinda missed Bobby Sherman, but definitely David Cassidy... and Donny Osmond! And the guy who now plays Jethro on NCIS? Teen idol.

I even remember when Mark Wahlberg was a teen idol, "Markie-Mark", though I was already grown at that point.

LOL, I remember those.

You thought you were really screamin' along on your 2400 baud modem (that you didn't even need to put the bakelite handset into a cradle to use), connecting to BBS systems to download ASCII porn.

Remember watching get smart yelling at the tv what bullshit the shoe phones were?

Remember when banks used to give you a toaster when you opened an account

Cereal had toys, real sugar and toys could thin the herd a bit.
