You know you're old when ...

[Deckerd]

Our ancient cat got in the way when her food was being chopped up a bit and ended up getting one side of her whiskers cut off by the scissors. It doesn't seem to bother her but every time I see her I start singing "Froggie went a courtin' and he did ride c.. c.. c.. crambo". Anyone who immediately gets this is officially old.

...guess I'm safe for now.

 

[Mike Farley]

I never thought Tom and Jerry would be the mark of old age. Damn.

 

[OmahaStar]

You know you're old when T'Bonz asks "Remember when ..." and you do!

 

[indranee]

you know you're old when you start your sentences with "remember when...". or worse, "in my day..."

ugh. I'm hoping I never get there.

You know you're old when you can sing the Animaniacs theme and Tiny Toons without needing help because you watched it every single day after school.

 

[auntiehill]

^ You know you're old, when you were already too old to watch Animaniacs after school, because Tiny Toons didn't even start until you were in COLLEGE.

I didn't get the reference but only because I always remembered it as "frog in the cornbread, heated right".

Okay....

I guess I'm still safe as a young whippersnapper.

That okay, I thought it was Tom and Larry until I was about 6.

You're not old until you start saying things like "those damn kids and their crazy music.". Which I started saying when beak dancing came out.

 

[Mallory]

What the hell is a "crambo"

^^^ THIS. All of it!

To this day I find myself singing, out of the blue, "I hanker for a hunk o' cheese."

I remember when he taught us how to make orange juice popsicles too. I always loved those ABC shorts. They kind of tied all the shows together and it felt like the network really cared about having a whole time period just devoted to kids.

Me, too! I also find myself bursting into "Don't drown your food" since every restaurant in Texas DOES drown everything.

They just don't have a "kid's block" anymore, not like they did way back in the dark ages of my childhood. I loved these old PSAs and I did actually learn from them.

<-- You know you're old when you can remember drinking this guy's beverage.

 

[scotpens]

you know you're old when you start your sentences with "remember when...". or worse, "in my day..."

Or even worse, "You kids today . . ."

You know you're getting old when you find out that the cliches about getting old are true. Like the one about all the cops and firemen looking like kids.

I didn't get the OP's reference, but then I was never a Tom and Jerry fan.

By that yardstick, I am officially old. I think I mentioned in another thread once upon a time, not only did I drink the stuff, but I had all the character's cups that you could send away for.

You know you're getting old when you can spend a weekend with your parents without losing your mind. Perhaps because it's already lost?

i knew i was old when i decided to listen to the pop music station on the radio and accidentally listened to the christian rock station for 10 minutes before i noticed.
