You know you're old when...

[Dpc2u]

I will only confess that I know exactly what he is referring to.

...you buy a Mercedes longroof and your kid tells you it's an old man move but you're already armed with at least two great cover stories: a) lots of moneyed families use them as kid haulers; 2) longroofs are just plain cool.

I took a hit of green pyramid about an hour before a really important rifle match, thinking in my twisted mind that it would improve my focus. I've never been so wrong about anything, before or since. It was a long day on the range.

Something tells me that each of the appreciates on your post is a tell-tale sign that we know exactly what you are talking about. Ahhhhh.....god times.

I couldn't imagine dosing before a rifle match. How many bullseyes were you trying to shoot with a single round???

A buddy of mine and I took 4 microdots about an hour outside of ATL once headed to meet a friend. We ended up meeting said friend at Dave and Busters. THAT was a very bizarre experience.

Well played.

And we even talked about how those expensive foods arnt worth it and just the same food but a scam. But i still see her 3 blocks away from me, dayum we use to kick it around the hills and i would show her my black book.

Dude....everyone else here is playing nice; allow me to be the exception.

What the hell are you even talking about??? You're 16-17 right? You used to walk home to school?

I'm going to have to ask you to vacate this thread until you have some fuzz on your peaches.....or have the ability to type a coherent sentence.

It depends - I know what they are and have first-hand experience with them.
Question is did the govt administer it or you utilized it in your Beetle?

I was drunk once and ate the Big Mac while it was still in the styrofoam. We laughed and laughed.

Sir please refrain from discussing such things as artichoke, bluebird and ultra. However, if a person were to be "enlightened" by our friends in black suits, Operation Midnight Climax would have been my preferred choice.

I mean, if I even knew what you guys are talking about.

I'm not playing, I honestly have never heard of these names. Maybe I'm too old and it was after my teens?

We didn't have a party line, but are any of you so old you could phone nabes in your town using only 4 numbers, ie: 5949 ?

I remember my grandparents still had a party line that theirs was 4 rings to get to their phone, and you cranked to get out.

When they put in the 1st rotary phone, I still can see the amazement in my grandmothers eyes learning how to use it.

And my grandkids ask me, what's a crank phone ? Party what ?

Damn spoiled rug rats !

Seriously! I'm sitting here reading his posts about Brooklyn and picturing a hipster soy boy with skinny jeans and a man bun living in the area now referred to as DUMBO.
