    I'm now officially...old.

    So, I was at the grocery store after class and as usual I dropped my keys into the bottom of the basket since there are no pockets in my workout pants. I get to the line and the young guy rings up the groceries and hands me my keys saying I probably don't want to lose them and asked if they went to a mustang. I said no, just a truck but I've only had it for about 26 hours. He asked what year it was and I told him and he asked if I wanted to trade for his old piece of junk. I laughed and said probably not but...now get this...quite naturally and w/o any thought at all I replied with "That's ok, when I was your age I had a piece of junk too".

    '...when I was your age...'

    OMFG

    Holy crap

    Jesus Tap Dancing Christ.

    I'll be killing myself now, thank you very much.

    Anyone remember "Logun's Run"?

    "If you find the right balance between desperation and fear you can make people believe anything"

    "Is enlightenment even possible? Or, did I drive by it like a missed exit?"

    It's simpler than you think.

    I could be completely wrong"

    That would be "Logan's Run". Great movie.

    I hear ya, Oso. I said to a guy the other day, "Oh, you'll probably change that opinion as you grow older."

    The dude was in his early 20's!

    Hang on a minute, I'll come over to you place and we can sit on the porch and suck prune juice through our false teeth and talk about the good old days.

    OMG. If you are old than so am I.


    Maybe the few months make the difference though, my Wife is still upset she just hit the big 4-0.

    Yeah, I remember "Logan's run", "Rollerball" and "Soilent green" too.

    Ringo star was great in "Caveman", aaah there were some good movies back than.

    Nothing hits as hard as watching an old movie or listening to a goldie or evergreen song when the realisation hits that it was 25 or so yrs ago.

    Cheers.

    I am not that old and I remember Logan's Run.

    BTW I said the same thing to someone the other day - said that the fear of commitment dimishes with age

    Anyone see the Simpsons where Homer won't let Bart watch the Itchy and Scratchy movie, because he feels that if he puts his foot down Bart will make something of his life? At the end it shows them in the future (Bart's a judge) and Homer goes "Hmmm, soilent green" . Total quality !

    joedoe, LC, Oso - how old are you guys? I'm wondering what you consider "age" to be.
