You remember a David Hasslehoff TV show that guys watched for the car not the girls.

You were alive before Jan-Michael Vincent went to rehab.

You bought a mini-van because of its safety and practicality.

You saw the young, good-looking Elvis in person, not the fat, drug-using, sequined Elvis.

The first time you watched Star Wars you were too young to notice that Princess Leia wasn't wearing a bra.

Baseball was fun to watch and going to a game was quality time with your folks.

You cuss at the kids who leave bags of flaming dog crap on your doorstep at Halloween.

Each of the Big Three automakers was still owned by Americans, and built all of their cars in the United States.

All of the neighbour's kids need to get a haircut, tuck their shirts in, and pull their jeans up so you don't have to look at their boxer shorts.

Saturday morning cartoons were stand-alone products, not half-hour advertisements for toys . . . plus, they made you appreciate classical music.

You saw the middle linebacker for the greatest defense to ever take the field play without his front teeth.

You know your old when you can't see over the steering wheel

When you start telling stories, when I was your age I walked through five miles through sleet and snow(no joke my dad told me that)

When you think fiber is the best thing alive

When you think that "I've fallen and I can't get up" commercial isn't so funny any more.

Nice try, Happy Evil . . .

::Gets out Terrible Towel::

Four Super Bowl rings in six years--1975, 1976, 1979, 1980--with a quarterback whose TD/INT ratio was just +2 for his career (but he called his own plays, as he reminds us every Sunday morning on Fox).

At 26, you're the whippersnapper, Mr. Snow.

How about Transformers and G.I. Joe comic books for $.50 and $.74 Big Macs?

No, no. Comics were $.15, candy bars were $.10, and McDonalds advertized 'change back from your dollar' for a burger, fries, and coke. :eek: :eek:

Transformers was my favourite cartoon when I was about 5 years old(it still is, though it's pretty weird that even though the Decepticons had military units compared to the Autobots' civillian units, they still failed to win most of their battles against the Autobots :rolleyes: :p )

Steel Curtain, baby!

At least you're old school enough to pick a classic defense to take a shot at me with and not the flash-in-the-pan 2001 Ravens.
