    She was probably the most infamous member of the Bayside crew after the show, well up until Diamond's happenings over the last few years.

    when you vehemently defend street fighter to be the greatest game of all time.

    haha jk tinman, i really love SF2 as well.

    ok so my "post to inspire" didn't motivate anyone so I'll add on to the original post...

    when you start eating stuff you thought was disgusting as a kid (vegetables, mainly the bitter melon, durian, bean sprouts, brussel sprouts)

    when the stuff on nick-at-night is stuff thats "recent" to you. I remember watching stuff like mork n mindy, my 3 sons, get smart (badass show) late at night. now it's fresh prince of bellaire!!! wtf? that was on back in late 90s!

    when you watch i love the 80's and remember everything theyre talking about.

    You know you're getting old when you out grow the first screen name you made on AOL.

    I got a sk8board somewhere in my gazebo. I made this screen name after playing Tony Hawk on PlayStation, bought a sk8board, learned how to ollie in a few weeks and gave up after badly spraining my ankle while attempting a kickflip.

    on the flip side, the things you use to eat as a kid you cant eat anymore, like candies and junk food...some of that stuff is just nasty.

    you have to start really warm up and stretch before playing a basketball game or running.

    you have tweak a muscle doing some mundane task

    It's just you. Ha. Especially if you look at what they are trying to promote as a cartoon. Bring back the violence, bring back Heckle and Jeckle, let's see Elmers head get peppered when Bugs puts his finger in the barrel, let's see what happens when you fall off a cliff and a bolder pounds you into the ground.

    "TV shows from those era's "look" that way... weird"

    I guess that's all I wanted to say in my first post.

    My favorite post in this thread was the one about the guy who was asked his age at Dillards to see if he was a senior.

    Are the writers still on strike or do movies seem a lot faker?

    Sorry for all these posts, I'm not trying to derail this thread.

    You're only old when regrets take the place of your dreams.

    How do I know I'm getting old?

    * Looking at my high school yearbook signed by Lyndon Johnson. He was a sophomore!

    * Realizing my handlebar mustache hasn't been in style since Rollie Fingers played with the A's.

    * Bewildered to find out that these punk kids listen to this guy called Elvis Presley!

    * Where has my beloved Holy Roman Empire went?!

    * Learned that my investments in the Pony Express and Polaroid pretty much dried up.

    IMO, when you sort of give up on a lot of things (fame, wealth, fun), that's when you are getting old.

    Back to the question, when most of my nephews and nieces have finished school and entered the job market.

    I understand giving up on fame, but wealth and fun?
