you're 40000 years old if...

[Chiogtr4x]

I think I do a lot of things that 'check the old list' , a few:

- use my turn signals (always)
- STOP at STOP signs & 'right turn on red' signs

- don't use a pad/tablet mounted on a mic stand, at gigs
( but do love headstock tuners!)

Your phone makes any noise at all
You print anything
You email anyone


what else ya got?

My phone plays "Take Five" . . . It used to play my favorite part of "Meddle", but it disturbed the hipsters.

I'm trying to imagine how I would have transferred the Les Paul shape to my blank without printing?

My broker won't make trades based on a text . . . or a phone call.

I have a landline
I write checks
I use stamps
I use aol every day
Newspapers on driveway

 

[trapdoor2]

I use a rotary phone dialing app. Does that make me semi-up-to-date?

 

[offsideref]

You have a landline
You have a newspaper on your driveway
You say "someone might have a use for that someday" and hold onto something you have no use for
It's been > 10 years and you still "haven't got around to it"

Personally, I think you’ve nailed it.
Only thing I might add would be…
You wonder “what’s on TV,” when between satellite, cable, and streaming services the answer is either “what’s not on TV” or “whatever you want”, but really you pine for the days when the answer was “there’s nothing worth watching, tonight” and everybody went off and did something interesting.

Well, I agree with so much of what has been said here. But I’m not saying “I’m 40000 years old” because I’m thinking “40000, eh, I’d like to be that young again”.

Screw a tiny eye-hook into the forehead of a toy mouse from the pet store. Tie the eye-hook to fishing line. Popeil Pocket Fisherman makes a great cat toy.

Also, most things I do are not using new technology. Fish with Bamboo rods from the 50's, and English reels from the 30s-70s. Drive an F150 that has no automatic anything, 4x4, windows, doorlocks, nothing. Use a wristwatch that was made in 1953, and a pocket knife that was made in 1968. Getting ready to go fishing for a week on the coast to cat h the fall drum run in a canvas bell style tent, with a wood stove on an island with no electricity or running water. I'm 42.

That sounds like a great fishing trip

I've been holding onto them for quite a while, but I'm seriously considering cashing in my S&H Green stamps.

That's all it took, I think I'm going off willy nilly again, better hide 'em, and wait for the market to get just right.

 

[tery]

I still go to the bank and withdraw money.

I think all our appliances in the early 60s were purchased via green stamps. Avgas at Lindberg field gave them out and Dad would bring home books of stamps. Perk for being a corporate pilot.

Of the double barrelled variety, made in Belgium and ready for grouse.

 

[Jakedog]

If you are male and own jeans shorts of any kind.

If you have a fanny pack.

If you wear white sneakers. Double score for New Balance.

If you think black jeans are still cool.

If you own a leather ball cap.

If any pair of shoes you own are fastened by Velcro.

If you are not a pedal steel player and wear a bolo tie.

If the only shirt you’re wearing is a T-shirt and you tuck it in.

If your t-shirt has a pocket.

 

[posttoastie]

You have one of these on your roof

Guilty as charged.
