You still say "color tv" or "record album" when referring to current products.

Uh -- busy signals aren't all that uncommon especially when calling small businesses with one or two phone lines. Think I heard one last week when trying to make dinner reservations.

I'll bite: hiatal hernia. I was likely born with this according to the doctor, but it's something older people usually get. Oh yeah, and I've had some grey hair in my beard since about age 25.

There were cigarette machines, and payphones too.
Paperboys were actually boys, and you couldn't fit a computer in your house, let alone your pocket.

Oh yeah... and leaded gas.

We only had two channels, starting at six o'clock. When the weather was right we were lucky and had an extra three German channels, witch started much earlier in the day.
If my sister or I would ask my dad what was on the other side, he would walk to the TV and turn it around...

Thing I notice is that my knees hurt in the AM. Not so a few years ago...

I have been double crossed by many a fart in my time.

Your Momma said that if you kept doing that, that you would go blind.

Specifically Some by products of flatuence are to let deaf people normally know what you have done as well..

Now That's Funny.

I think that I have some food in my beard since I was 25.

Very early 60s. I didn't mean I was 72, that's just the age the linked article reported. I sure don't feel it. I can still unload and re-stack 40 hundred pound bales of hay, I rowed an 18 foot raft through 200 odd miles of the Grand Canyon two years ago and that's with two permanently blown out distal bicep tendons and a spine that can be best described as a bunch of lumps of chalk connected by flat whoopie cushions. Think you're old? You are.

When you say Mercedesshop, what's that?

Has it been that long since the name change?

"Getting better" either means better than you have ever been or it means getting back some of what you lost.
