    I remember five cent ice cream cones. How freaked I was when a postage stamp went to 13 cents. Fighting the cops in 1967 when LBJ (the president, not basketball player) spoke at Century City Plaza when I was 13.

    I feel old when I say someone sounds like a stuck record and kids don't know what I mean. I felt old at my local Pride last year with my trusty Nikon F when a young girl said she'd never seen anyone change film before. I LOVE my Nikon!

    I've never heard the term "stuck record" before. I've heard "broken record" though.

    I'm 37, and have already started counting years to retirement... it's a large number, but I really want to stop working eventually.

    I really can't remember the last time I saw someone change film.

    Haha, that reminds me of this video. And to fit the thread, I feel old because I probably saw a similar video back in elementary school when I learned all about the internet.

    This video would have been much funnier if they were actually making them try to surf on a 56k modem.

    Is there a typo there, Denny? Gas and less than 20 cents per gallon? Because I'm older than you and I sure never saw that.
    I remember how shocked we were when gas hit $1.00 per gallon. Sigh.

    In Southern California in 1973, gas was 27-29¢ per gallon.

    For the price of a good middle class house, always multiply the price of gas by 100,000.

    like .29 × 100,000 = 29,000.
    4.00 × 100,000 = 400,000.

    This is called a "jlprk appraisement."

    You're a Californian.

    When I started driving in LO gas prices were where Denny remembers them.

    I remember watching this on TV.

    Sadly, everything he warned of happened with little resistance, giving us our present-day enslavement.
