Status: offline 		Based upon discusssions , with some very good suggestions from RevRick and others , I thought I'd try setting up a "geezer" thread. For all you geezers and geezer-wanna-be's out there , who while maybe not completely comfortable with this new-fangled tech , give it your best shot. A good place to "geeze" at all these young punks , and help out one's fellow old-timers in trying to deal with WitP, tech and punks in general! As RevRick say's ., "Geezers United". (Sound like a backwoods soccer team).

Status: offline 		Well, I wasn't talking about this thread. I was talking about his. But, no problem. Now, what I want to know is what all this advertising is on the one eyed monster about testing on bell phones? I've had the same bell phone for the past forty years. Little black think with a good round dial on it, and when it rings, you pick it up. Now why do they have to test them now, and why are all the kids getting into testing on the bell phone? Are they starting to break? And how do kids know that and I don't? Mine still rings! If all the kids are getting excited about it, what are they getting excited about testing for? I never like tests when I was a kid, let alone on the bell phone. And, if there are any things going on about testing on the bell phone, what are the teachers doing? Nothing!! Land's sake alive, what is this country coming to with kids doing their testing on the bell phone?

Wait, my daughter just came in. Maybe she can tell me.

Oh...

never mind..




with apologies to Gilda Radner.

Now, I know some of the geezers know who that is.

I hope..

"When I was younger..."
"These damned kids today..."
"I remember when these just cost a nickle (dime, quarter, etc.)..."

Saturday I will be RO'ing the main match and chasing all the young whipper-snappers through my stage.

After that it will be time when I get home!

Status: offline 		I'm fifty (just a month ago) and am still fighting against the idea. I rode 100 miles on my bicycle two days before I turned fifty just to thumb my nose at geezerhood.

However, I have to confess that I started to feel like a geezer about 18 years ago when I was still living in Athens, GA. I took a young lady to see Arlo Guthrie in concert and he introduced the song Alice's Restaurant by saying "You know, I've been playing this song now for twenty years. In fact, I've been playing this song longer than some of you have been living." When I noticed Jennifer nodding her head yes, I began to feel like a dirty old man and decided that it was time to get out of that town...

Status: offline 		For a number of years, I was the basically the youth leader at our church. Taught Sunday School, led trips, organized social activities, etc., so I got to know the kids pretty well.

So... You may recall that they released a special edition of Star Wars (Episode IV) around 97. I knew one of the kids was a huge star wars fan, and we were talking about the new release. I asked, "So, do you remember when the orignal came out, or were you too young?" Matt looks at me, with a mixture of pity and scorn, "Dave, I wasn't even born when Star Wars came out."

That's when I knew I was slipping into geezerdom.
