    You know you are getting old when:

    I was just watching an episode of Morse from 1987. In it, Sgt. Lewis was entranced by an IBM PS2, he'd just done a course on using one. On the screen appeared the WordStar menu. If you remember when WordStar was the hot word processing program and VisiCalc was the king of the spreadsheet...

    Which funny videos are you watching?

    I couldn't be bothered to look at all 22 pages, so forgive me if this has already been posted. I'm tempted to carry a package of Kraft American Singles Slices when I go to a restaurant for just this kind of emergency: Crying Baby and Cheese The audio track is a kazoo version of "Yackety Sax"...

    You know you are getting old when:

    No, that's not old. Old is when the former is no longer an option.

    You know you are getting old when:

    Not really a fair question for people whose native language isn't English. German letter forms are bound to be different from English-language ones. To start with you have four more letters, and that beta-looking one is a real puzzler for us. I once had a conversation with the Greek husband of a...

    You qualify for the pub quiz team! I doubt that anyone under the age of 60 would recognize them.
  7. KILO NOVEMBER

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Are all the police helmet badges being updated with the new Royal Cypher or will they be replaced as they are worn out?

    Raise your hand if you know what "pica" has in common with "elite".

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    It looks like you laid in a new supply of stamps. No backstock of QEIIs?
  10. KILO NOVEMBER

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Here's a two-fer fer your Friday consideration. Every business conversation, or meeting, or whatever, will inevitably produce some saying "reach out to so and so". It started with a TV commercial jingle in the 1970's with AT&T encouraging phone users to make long distance calls to family...

    You know you are getting old when:

    When you're old enough to know who John McCain is and why he had trouble taking his undershirt off over his head.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    "Awesome" is not a suitable adjective for describing the order I just gave to a waiter.

    Probably only among what the British would call "posh". I don't think it has caught on among the people working for hourly wages.

    Alabama meets Brooklyn

    A little help please

    Is it a genuine Stratoliner that you want? I can think of several hat makers who could provide you with a high quality replica. Tony, you still have your equipment?

    If that just doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies. The PRC has such a splendid record of respecting the rights and privacy of its citizens. NOT!

    You know you are getting old when:

    If only "two" rhymed with "p"... And consider, three is one of the magic numbers (e.g., The Three Stooges, Three Blind Mice, Three Wise Men from the East, Cinderalla's three wicked step sisters, how many companions did Dorothy collect on her way to Oz?...)

    If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have believed it!

    I'm trying to imagine the pitch to potential investors for these products. I can't stop laughing! As to Tony's remark on low-cost alternatives, back, oh, 50 years or so ago, before flat screen TVs and remote controls, I used to watch the commercials. I do remember a product called "Nair"...

    Lest anyone thing this thread is only about theater, here's another one. A few months back I had run out of shaving cream. (Don't let the beard fool you, I shave my throat and cheeks daily.) So I went to a nearby location of a national chain drug store, looked up at the aisle signs and walked...

    It was redone about 20 years ago with Nathan Lane in the Max Biyalistock role and Matthew Broderick covering for Gene Wilder. Skip if if you have the chance and stick with the original movie.

    Calls to mind Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel.
