Well something funny happened at my house a couple days ago. My father opened the mail and noticed a Happy Birthday card to him from someone he didn't pay attention to at first. He opened the card and out popped a discount card for a company called AARP. For those who aren't aware, AARP is basically a company that provides services for mostly the elderly. For my old man to get that, he was nearly appalled by it. However, recently he's laughing it off, because he's getting ready to turn 50. So he's not really "old" in a technical sense, but the AARP card was a telltale sign someone obviously thought he was.
Anyways, I'm gonna be turning 18 next month and I've seen some of the ages of Reborn's regulars who have confided them on the site, and some of us have seen quite a couple changes in the world since we were born.
It got me to thinking: "Holy hell we're getting old."
This is more of a nostalgia thread, but it made me think of certain things most of us have probably grown up experiencing that kids only a couple years younger than us haven't ever gotten the privilege to see.
Anyways, I'll start. Do you guys remember Saturday Morning Cartoons? I made a thread on that a while back, but they died out a while ago. I'm not talking cable or other premium TV, I'm talking the run-of-the-mill public access channel that ran from 7-12. Some OLD shows like Teen Titans (the original), Yugioh, Pokémon (up to DP), and some other rogue shows that were pretty cool.
What do you guys remember that in hindsight makes you feel kinda old?
