Missy Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 The actual anniversary is still a week away (09 November), but it's been 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall. I remember watching the news of that on TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I have a picture of me in a record store with the top 10 records behind me. I'm pretty sure the Village People is one of them. As soon as I find it I'll post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching the news of that on TV. What a coincidence, I was born the same year the Wall fell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuaveStar Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 There was a wall in Berlin? Actually, that makes me look dumb, more than making Mike feel old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Don't feel bad Mike. That said, the first major political event I can remember if coming home from Third Grade with a bottle of Crystal Pepsi to watch the Inauguration Ceremony for President Clinton.

Dread Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Today I was walking a student through an exercise on prepositional phrases. the end of our discussion went thusly: Me: So there might be several prepositions in a sentence but you have to decide which one is part of a non-essential prepositional phrase. Her: So there can only be one? Me: Yeah, just like Highlander! Her: (look of bewilderment) Me: You didn't understand that reference did you? Her: Nope. (walks away) Me: "Here we are, born to be kings..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 When our lecturer says "you are probably all too young to remember when at night the tv image would turn to static" and my coursemate immidiately turns to look at me. I'm 26, its not like I remember where I was when JFK was shot! I mean, my memory of late night/early morning TV in my childhood was Teletext, and that started in the 70's. She wasn't alive when the Simpsons started, thats the crazy thing to me. She also said that she want to start having kids when she's 25, not when she's "old". Ouch. I guess I left it too late.

GoFlash Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 I'm only 24 but I was still in High School when Smallville started. Still makes me feel like a fogey. In an attempt to make myself feel better, I was four when The Simpsons premiered. Much better. Oy. You feel old because you were in high school? Smallville (and Justice League and The Tick - live action) all started after I finished med school. The Simpsons started at the end of high school (and thanks to it's stupid high ratings, The Flash got low ratings and was canceled. Not that I'm bitter). The nice thing about now is everything is available, so I can get my 5 year old daughter to watch Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman, Superfriends, and Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends (she likes Firestar because they both have red hair) and actually have her get my references. Although, when she dressed up as a horse for Halloween, she had no idea why Daddy was trailing behind her, banging together two halves of a coconut....

Missy Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 The Simpsons started at the end of high school When I was over at Niki's for Thanksgiving, Tim, her husband, popped in a Simpsons DVD for her young cousins. As I stood there watching it, something dawned on me: Nicolette was two when The Simpsons premiered. Many times she's said that the program has always been a part of her life, but I never did the math until that moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoFlash Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 That sounds awesome. Please say you were humming "Brave sir Robin" as well. When danger reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled, Actually, the next day, a friend of hers had a birthday party, so she got to go as Wonder Woman (so technically, she did still dress up as a princess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I just had a horrifying thought: If they remake Back to the Future in 2015, when Marty visits his teenage parents 30 years in the past, he'll be trapped in 1985. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James D. Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Has it really been twenty-four years since Hi-C Ecto Cooler drink was created? Incidentally, they really need to bring that fucking drink back. It was the bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
