Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this will certainly change things. Each year the staff at BeloitCollege in Wisconsin puts together a list to try to give the faculty a sense of the mindset of this year's incoming freshmen. Here's this year's list:​
The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1985. They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.​
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 has 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 mil e 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.​
Do you feel old yet?​
Oh, and one of my personal favorite lines about youth: "Remember, your parents used to be cool, then they had you." :shrug:

dude...i'm old....when did that happen?

It comes from all that massive experience that you have...an unfortunate side-effect. Don't worry...you're still young...I'm old ... and Gonz and Squigs are damn near decrepit :)

Perhaps, but you look quite a bit younger than your 41 years. Having seen you, I'd have placed you in your mid 30's. Squigs though...looks older than his 41 years. :run:

No offense against you, Joe...but there's something that adds on a few years to you....too many things on your shoulders, perhaps?

Um...maybe its the extra 11 years, Bish. I'm 52. :crying3:
 
They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.

All the rest I can put down to the blessings of youth.....but that......that's practically blashphemy :mad:

the youth of today, have no idea :rolleyes:

Nah...it's actually a mistake. ..and you're probably gonna hate me for this one...but

I mistook you for Gonz :)

I'd mentioned you and Gonz as old folx...she rebutted that she and Gonz were the same age...I read too fast, assumed that she was talking about you and her being the same age, and replied as such.

Must be all the anti-ageing cream that I'm on. :p
 
I didnt know where Mork was from but I watched the show a few times. Robin Williams was hilarious in the show.
