If you remembered 0-5 = You're still young
If you remembered 6-10 = You are getting older
If you remembered 11-15 = Don't tell your age
If you remembered 16-25 = You're older than dirt!:D

Well, I knew I was old....but you confirmed it. I remember ALL those things, and more.

[Steven Malanosk]

It seems that both I and one of my obis qualify for the older than dirt catagory.

Thankfully, I have maintained a bit better than the obi...............:karatekid

But once again, thanks to e - budo, I feel old..............

[Prince Loeffler]

Look at the bright side.:D :D ...at least you two can still remember:D

[Steven Malanosk]

Remember what???:look:

[Shitoryu Dude]

I remember 18 of them personally, and know of nearly all of them.

Spooky - most of the guys on this site don't remember any president before Reagan. I can remember President Lyndon Johnson and when silly hip-hugger pants were in style the first time around :D If you only knew how silly it looks to see fashions from the 70's :laugh:

I can remember watching tv with my mother, when all of a sudden, she started to cry. I was not old enough to understand that she, and the people on tv, where freaking out because President Kennedy had just been shot right in front of our eyes.

That's old age talking, Steve; Alzheimer's has caught up to you.
Now, what was I writing about...
Erm ah...

Remember what??? :look:

[Sochin]

I remember all those things too, except Beanie and Cecil??? Must be cultural deprivation - was this a tv show? I didn't see a tv until 1955 or so.

I remember the coke bottles hanging upright by their necks and we'd sneak in, pop the tops and sip them thru a straw!

I think the world news before the cartoon warped me for life, every Sat for years I saw huge pile of dead bodies from the holocaust. And they wonder why i grew up hating authority. I still have trouble with things German...
