a relics of the 20th century

thats exactly how i feel, like a creation of old. im sure im not the only one. while i may be in my prime still i feel like im outta place, like i should've been doing my thing in the 70's. just a month back my little cousin asked me when i was little did they have steam boats back then. i busted up laughing until i let out one of those long "HEYYYYY!!!" moments. don't take the time you have for granted people of RIU, time is merciless, inescapable and above all else relentless. the hagakure states that with each generation things are going to get worse. we just have to make the best of the current one. just remember to throw in a little soulful old school into it.

PEACE

I told my son (born 2000) that I had to fight carnosaurs barehanded while crossing the mountains to school.

He asked me how I kept the bears attached to my hands. :facepalm:

son also born in 2000...

I had my folks confirm for my kids.. my stories of walking uphill both ways in the snow in CT... Where we lived it was one hill after another... great skateboarding and sledding hills too..

I think it's the parent thing that makes you feel like a relic. My youngest is now 39 and I REALLY feel like a relic. Wait till yours are in that 40 yr old range ...lol Peace & be kind.

you guys take your kids out snipe hunting yet?

Another Y2K parent here --
"What's this for?" while my kid was holding a VCR tape (VHS of course) ...

I often get the feeling I'm about 800-5000 years outta sync.

Hehe, when DVDs first came out, I convinced my ex-wife that they had to be rewound, just like a VHS. She could never figure out if they were rewound all the way, unless she manually did it.

lol, right

In high school we had a batshit crazy spanish teacher who would play tapes of spanish songs and force us to sing them.

Some classmates of mine swiped one, and replaced the film inside with one of a two live crew tape.

When she put it in and played it the look on her face was priceless.

I thought she was gonna puke. We never had to sing stupid songs again

Dude I'm 23 and i just out right now i should of been born way before

Try explaining a world without cable tv, recorded movies n shows or video games to your grand children. The looks of sheer, utter terror and confusion were priceless. I bet they still think I was lying.
