July 19, 200321 yr Author comment_44559 This is hurts even more of us.. even those of us who are in our 40's...:disappoin Feeling Old Yet? Each year, the staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin puts together a list to give the faculty a sense of the mindset of the year's incoming freshmen. Here's this year's list. The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1984. 1. They have no meaningful recollection of the Reagan Era and probably did not know he had ever been shot. 2. They were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was waged. 3. Black Monday, 1987 is as significant to them as the Great Depression. 4. The expression "you sound like a broken record" means nothing to them. 5. There has been only one Pope. 6. They were 12 when the Soviet Union broke apart and do not remember the Cold War. 7. They have never feared a nuclear war. 8. They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up. 9. Tienamen Square means nothing to them. 10. Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic. 11. The expression "you sound like a broken record" means nothing to them. 12. They have never owned a record player. 13. They have likely never played Pac Man and have never heard of Pong. 14. They may have never heard of an 8-track. 15. The compact disc was introduced when they were one-year-old. 16. As far as they know, stamps have always cost about 37 cents. 17. They have always had an answering machine. 18. Most have never seen a TV set with only 13 channels, nor have they seen a black and white TV. 19. They have always had cable. 20. There have always been VCRs, but they have no idea what BETA was. 21. They cannot fathom not having a remote control. 22. They don't know what a cloth baby diaper is. 23. They have no idea that there was a commercial featuring the line, "I've fallen and I can't get up." 24. They were born the year that Walkman were introduced by Sony. 25. Roller-skating has always meant inline for them. 26. Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show. 27. They have no idea when or why Jordache jeans were cool. 28. Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave. 29. They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter. 30. They have never seen Larry Bird play. 31. They never took a swim and thought about Jaws. 32. The Vietnam War is as ancient history to them as WWI, WWII and the Civil War. 33. They have no idea Americans were ever held hostage in Iran. 34. They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are. 35. They don't know who Mork was or where he was from. 36. They do not care who shot J.R. and have no idea who J.R. was. 37. To them, Michael Jackson has always been white. 38. McDonalds food never came in Styrofoam containers. 39. There has always been MTV. 40. They learned what Sex is and isn't, from Bill Clinton.

July 20, 200321 yr comment_44599 Two bulls, one young and one elder, were standing on top of a hill looking at a herd of cows on top of the next hill.The young bull says before breaking into a gallop, "Come on old man, let's run over there and we can scr*w us one of those cows!". The old bull just shakes his head and starts walking towards the herd and calls out after him, "You go ahead, I'll just walk there and scr*w them ALL!"."Youth is wasted on the young!"--Anonimous Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/7077-for-the-elders-in-the-club/#findComment-44599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
