I’m so old that I have dialed a rotary phone (that didn’t have an answering machine), recorded a song off a transistor radio onto a a tape recorder, watched a black and white TV with less than 10 channels that had aluminum foil on the rabbit ear antennas, taken a long walk without counting the steps, and eaten food that I didn’t take pictures of.
 
I have the body of a 20 year old…but they said to give it back because I’m getting it all wrinkled.

But I do feel like a 20 year old…except there aren’t any around, so I’ll have to make do.

My doctor said jogging would add 10 years to my life...he‘s right, I feel 10 years older already.

-whoever Milton Berle stole these lines from

Interesting but not too surprising that not many in the under 30 crowd.
I liked knives when younger than 30 but did not have the money to start to accumulate (not that you have to accumulate knives to be on this forum but those on this forum tend to do so).

Lord knows I've made a lot of mistakes in my time on this rock. One decent benefit of being older than dirt is, you can look back on all the incredibly dumb s--t stuff we did in a misspent youth, and wish we had a time machine. Then I'd go back in time like in that Marty McFly movie to find myself, and kick myself right in the A$$ and ask me "What the hell are you thinking?????"

If experience is learning, then I've done a LOT of painful learning of what is not a good idea.

Heh, time machine? I'm just glad that cell-phones and constant cameras in everything with a battery weren't a thing when I was a kid!!

65 was a good year, if I might say so myself.

Yep. I remember that year. I was 5, and my dad and I were going into a grocery store when a masked man ran out of the door and jumped in a waiting get-away car. Then as we got to the door, another masked bandit with a gun in one hand and a bag of money in the other hand opened the door. He looked at my dad and looked at me, then looked back at my dad and said, "How are you doing, Robert?".

At the risk of sounding naive.... you're joking, right? 😳 Or it's from a movie or something?

Same. Too much skateboarding, weightlifting, and trying to keep up with my kids.

I lurked since the inception, but didn’t join for a couple years because I “didn’t want to get all addicted to knives like all the poor saps on here”. And here I am, addicted to knives just like all the rest of you poor saps. 😆:mad:
