So you think i'm old - Age yourself a bit

[OAS]

All you kiddies keep blasting me for being old. Read on and see if you are starting to have an urge to buy depends.

Each year the staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin put together a list to try to give the faculty a sense of the mind set of this year's incoming freshmen.

Here's this year's list:
1) The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1983.
2) They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up.
3) Their lifetime has always included AIDS.
4) Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.
5) The CD was introduced the year they were born.
6) They have always had an answering machine.
7) They have always had cable.
8) They cannot fathom not having a remote control.
9) Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.
10) Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.
11) They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.
12) They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.
13) They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.
14) They've never heard:
a. "Where's the Beef?",
b. "I'd walk a mile for a Camel", or
c. "de plane Boss, de plane".
15) They do not care who shot J. R. and have no idea who J. R. even is.
16) Michael Jackson has always been white.
17) McDonald's never came in Styrofoam containers.
> 18) They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

3) Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

I believe our engineering department used that theory as their class thesis. {}

Didn't he join up in 86? and I can/do use type writers and I know who JR is

1) The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1983.

Same with last fall for the most part

4) Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.

Try beer in general to disprove that

6) They have always had an answering machine.

Try again dumb ass

7) They have always had cable.

Maybe cable was around since 83 but I'm sure I had a couple of years of life without it.

8) They cannot fathom not having a remote control.

I can fathom it. I wouldn't like it but how many of us ahve lost our remote and has had to use the buttons on the machine to do things.

9) Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

As I said he joined in 86.

10) Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.

Not if you had those poppers Amy mentioned or if you've seen popcorn popped in a movie theater.

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

Mork from Ork calling Orson, come in Orson. Bolder Colorado, Pam Dawber.

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

Heard 'em all.

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

Bzzz try again dumbass:

16) Michael Jackson has always been white.:

Didn't Thriller come out in 86 and he was blackish there.:

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

Now they're getting cocky. I can use a typewriter with the best of them.

I am calling Shenanigans on this entire list.

You can still get a lot of soda with the metal cap.....Dr. Browns makes glass bottles, and sometimes you can find a Coke in a glass bottle....
