"Feeling Old" 2018 Edition

[Skwerl]

My Dad took me to see Patton at the drive-in (when it was new) when I was a young kid (he was a career paratrooper - that explains a lot).

Animal House turns 40 tomorrow

Speaking of 40 years ago -- I'm going to see Jimmy Buffett next weekend.  The first (of many) times that I saw him was in San Diego in 1978 (might've been 1977), 40 years ago!  I was 17 years old then, and Buffett was about 32.

This time, I'm going with my daughters and their husbands.  No grandkids (yet), but I'm still come a long way since then.

Good idea- I know it's tempting but you don't want to fall off that long ladder again, do you?

[Gusington]

Or the short one.

[Sir Slash]

Denial can be a true and steadfast friend. And I refuse to believe otherwise.

I would never have pegged you as a Parrot Head.

eeesh

The Astros' July 31, 1998 trade for The Big Unit, a late-night blockbuster that stunned baseball and led to the most dominant two months of a storied career, turns 20 years old on Tuesday. Two decades later, it stands as both a prime example of the potential impact of a rental player and a case study in the long-term risk of parting with elite prospects.

I found out today that a giant office campus I worked at 15 years ago is being torn down for condos...the place was soul extinguishing so I don't know why it's demise is making me feel so old and a little sad.

Probably because you are thinking about those condo dwellers being haunted by all those extinguished souls!

[Sir Slash]

How big were the Giants who lived there and where did they move to? Are they the same ones who fall flat on their asses every year in the NFL?

[Gusington]

Well it's not like they're the Jets. Come on. Now.

I can definitely see the lost souls haunting this new and very expensive condo complex. There is no soul more vexed than one that has been swallowed up by the traditional print publishing industry.

I know this first hand, unfortunately.
