You know you are getting old when you have a definite opinion
regarding some issue but no one cares. Cheers, John Stewart

I knew when I was in a bus, some kids were having fun, I was laughing.
Then one said to the other, see (he understands), that man was once young too.
I came out an old man...

Shouldn't the king of the killfile at least have put "OT" at the start
of this ego-tastic, monumentally off-topic post?


Tim, expecting to be plonked by Jim again, with gratuitous notice.

I was in the music store the other day and a woman was shopping with her
young grand-daughter. There was a life-size cut-out of Elvis Presley as part
of some sale or promotion. Grand-daughter asks grandmother about man with
funny haircut. Grand-mother replies, "Oh, he was one of the singers Grandma
listened to when she was a girl."

!!!!!

Yikes! Grandmothers are supposed to have fond memories of Rudolph Valentino
and Bing Crosby and Guy Lombardo, not Elvis!!

I felt old..............

You can't even tell "monumentally off-topic" posts by the subject lines?

Who's "Tim Auton"? I thought he was non-existent ;-)

Elvis was big when I was a teenager, but I remember those other guys
too ;-)

Usually, but the subject line for this thread could also apply to
obsolete parts, simulation models or practices which are actually
related to electronics.

I think it's a fair assumption that at least a *new* thread unrelated
to electronics would make itself apparent in these groups, even if
history shows threads frequently go off-topic.

sci.electronics.misc I can accept, but for a.b.s.e, s.e.cad and s.e.d
it's almost as irrelevant as most of the crap I post. That's an insult
and a half :*)

How about the insult of being asked if you want the senior discount nearly
ten years early, but struggling with the enigma of deciding whether to
express your disgust, or keeping quiet to receive the discount and satisfy
the thirst for frugality?

Hell, go for the money!!!

I remember being asked to slouch down in the seat and look little so the
streetcar conductor would only charge my mother half-fare for me. I am
delighted to see that the same technique works at the other end of the age
spectrum!

Heh,

My favorite is YEARS old.

I was in a music store when some girl picked up a Beatles album and said
"Gee, I didn't know Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings!"

Sheesh, now I don't go to music stores any more...
