Speaking of Wheel of Fortune... Remember after a round... the winner would "go shopping."
"For 800 dollars, I'll take the ceramic dog. And the rest on a gift certificate."
Quoted from dirkdiggler:When you've never heard of Rick and Morty
I don't have a clue who Rick and Morty are. . . but when I read the title this is what my brain pictures for some reason.

... and you look into it and decide it's not "smart" or "clever" and thus do not want the new Spooky game.
So I guess I'm not "old" then, despite turning 59 soon. Sweet!
Quoted from o-din:I remember those cool cone shaped water cups each contestant had on his or her table.
If you remember when Chuck Woolery was the host of Wheel of Fortune.
I forgot all about Chuck. But in 21st Century I marvel how Vanna White has managed to turn rolling over word-making-letters into a 40 year old gig. And still going strong.

I'm only 41 and have no clue who they are. Haven't watched family guy or the Simpsons in 10 years probably. If it's not sports, I usually don't pay attention
I know who Rick an Morty are, along with Spongebob, Fairly Oddparents, The Wild Thornberrys, Billy and Mandy, etc..
Does that mean I am not old?
Quoted from o-din:I remember those cool cone shaped water cups each contestant had on his or her table.
If you remember when Chuck Woolery was the host of Wheel of Fortune.
Or if you remember Alex Trebek was originally the host of a stupid game show called High Rollers before he hosted Jeopardy.
Quoted from o-din:Fk it. I got Bob Barker.[quoted image]
Well, how about Art Linkletter?

I'm sorry, you're old at 41, I'm not at 58. C'est la vie.

Was in the doctor's office today and they had "Father Knows Best" and "Dennis the Menace" on TV... felt like I was in second grade and home sick from school...
That was a powerful morning lineup back then... along with the "Dick Van Dyke Show" and "The Andy Griffith Show"
Father-knows-best (resized).jpgOK you got me!
When you see Father Knows Best Christmas Reunion is coming on and without hesitation you push "record".
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Besides Bob Barker, Gene Rayburn was always my favorite host[quoted image]
I remember Gene Rayburn when he hosted the original Match Game.
You know you are old when ... you remember this hot mess when it was a new game show. Show started in 1966 and while 9 tv stars were used, the cast changed quite a bit. The show featured old man humor and the center square was reserved for the big star. Those included: Paul Lynde, Joan Rivers, Whoopi Goldberg and Martin Mull.

I'm not quite that old, but I loved the John Davidson remake when I was a kid.
Quoted from ShinyBall:When you actually catch yourself using your hand as a magnifying glass to read small print., when you have no other options available.
Just wrap your finger around and create a small circle. A small amount of light will then come through and focus in one area, giving you a clearer image.[quoted image]
Did this yesterday, left my glasses in the car, got lunch and could not read the check.

Quoted from SteveO:I remember Gene Rayburn when he hosted the original Match Game.
I remember watching Match Game when Gene Rayburn read a note someone sent telling him that he looked like Charlie Watts, The Rolling Stones drummer.
I saw a resemblance then and it has stayed with me.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Best game show host name. Wink Martindale[quoted image]
Best dressed game show host as well.

Or when you think Rick and Morty are the new Simon and Garfunkel.
Christmas ornaments had yellowed, dried fake snow specs from 1966.
You re-wrapped presents and put them back under the tree after opening them at 230.
You know at least one person who had their tree thrown outside on Christmas Eve by their Husband/Wife.
You patched a VW muffler with a beer can and clamps. You participated in "Lift the front end of a Beetle with the old style front bumper Contest"
You know what "Deez and Doze are" You Clam, or never could do it but knows a friend who Clams.
Quoted from phil-lee:You patched a VW muffler with a beer can and clamps.
I have patched mufflers with fiberglass tape. Got an extra year out of them by doing that.
You know you are old when your knees can no longer take climbing a ladder so you have to pay someone to do your gutters.
Dude will be here at 9 in the morning to clean the gutters.
Last year I could not walk for a day after that shit.
I can't walk for a day after setting a pinball machine up anymore either, but priorities are.

Growing up, everyone had outdoor Christmas lights that had real bulbs. As kids, we would take a couple bulbs off someones strings. They made loud noises when you smashed them.
Quoted from SteveO:Growing up, everyone had outdoor Christmas lights that had real bulbs. As kids, we would take a couple bulbs off someones strings. They made loud noises when you smashed them.
And each bulb was a single color. No rgb technology and we didn’t care. 
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:And each bulb was a single color.
With an intermittent flasher bulb in there for effect.
You know you are old
when...
You realize you just can't eat as much as you used to, but there ain't NO WAY
you're gonna order somethin' with "petite" in the name!
Quoted from LTG:When you were a kid. They hadn't invented dirt yet.
LTG : )
When you were a kid and your only toys were bones.

You were obviously a rich kid.
We only had rocks. And we felt lucky to have them.
