You Know You're Old When:

1. You think 90% of the music produced over the past 10 years is crappy.

2. You think 90& of the TV shows produced over the past 10 years is crappy.

3. You think 90% of the movies produced over the past 10 years is crappy.

4. You watch one of the tabloid TV shows like "Extra" or "Entertainment Tonight", and 90% of the people they are doing stories on, you say to yourself, "Who the hell is that?"

Not necessarily.

1. I thought maybe I was being a fuddy duddy because I thought 90% of the music produced over the past 10 years was crap, but I'm not imagining things. Most of it was crap!

2. I'm not imagining things either when I watch TV. Granted, the last 10 years has produced some absolutely outstanding television (The Sopranos, The Wire, Dexter, 24, Lost, 30 Rock, True Blood, Burn Notice, Planet Earth on Discovery Channel/Animal Planet), but it's also produced a deluge of mostly reality TV crap like The Hills, Jersey Shore, the Real Housewives franchise and its clones on VH1 and E!, nearly everything on TLC, and mind-numbingly fetid shows like According To Jim and Two and a Half Men.

3. Now maybe I'm being a fuddy duddy here, but it's more of a case where the actual quality movies are either low budget independent films that don't get wide distribution and therefore are seen by only a handful of people, or they get released and bomb at the box office because the general movie viewing public doesn't get the ideas behind the movies. But the same movie viewers line up to see crap like the last two Transformers movies, the Twilight series, or any Adam Sandler movie.

4. Now that I agree with somewhat. I saw some story on Huffington Post about some leaked nude pictures of AnnaLynn McCord that were only supposed to be sent to a boyfriend but got posted publicly, and I wondered to myself, "Who the hell is AnnaLynn McCord? And why should I give a f#%*?"

I'm not sure about this one. Babies can die of natural causes in the womb or birth, and I have known and heard of old people leaving this earth in a terrible way.

...when you lose your sense of humor...

Why did you have to take something that was supposed to be funny and make it unpleasant?

The joke was ACTUALLY supposed to be on MYSELF... repeating my answer.

I think when you outlive all the other girls, you KNOW you're old.

One day I was at church (not Lakewood, my old Baptist church) and the preacher was preaching about enemies. He said, "How many people in the room think they have no enemies?" About half the hands went up, and the preacher got really mad. He went on and on about how we all had enemies and were too egotistic to know it.

After 30 minutes of that, he asked again, "Who in here has no enemies?" This time, about 10 hands were raised. The preacher got really mad and went on another 30 minutes about hypocrisy and pride and all the things that give you a false prospective on what kind of person you are.

Then he asked one more time, "Who here now thinks they have no enemies?" Only one hand went up - that of 90-year-old Mrs. McGinty.

Our preacher was dumbfounded. "You have NO enemies, Mrs. McGinty? None at all? Would you mind coming up here and telling this congregation how it is that you have no enemies?"

Mrs. McGinty toddered up to the pulpit, took the microphone, and said, "I outlived all the bitches".

Best sermon EVER.

Churchkey

A key used to open cans by rolling their part on it

Churchkey from 3 angles

A modern butterfly opener which combines a serrated wheel and a churchkey

Churchkey initially referred to a simple hand-operated device for prying the cap (called a "crown cork") off a glass bottle; this kind of closure was invented in 1892.^[9][10] The first of these churchkey style openers was patented in Canada in 1900.^[11] The shape and design of some of these openers did resemble a large simple key.^[12] In 1935, beer cans with flat tops were marketed, and a device to puncture the lids was needed. The same churchkey opener was used for piercing those cans. It was made from a single piece of pressed metal, with a pointed end used for piercing cans—devised by D.F. Sampson,^[13][14] for the American Can Company, who depicted operating instructions on the cans themselves,^[15] The churchkey opener is still being produced, usually as an attachment to another opener. For example, a "butterfly" opener is often a combination of the churchkey and a serrated-wheel opener.

There is sparse, and often contradictory, documentation as to the origin of the term "churchkey". The phrase is likely a sarcastic euphemism, as the opener was obviously not designed to access churches. One explanation is in Medieval Europe, most brewers were monks. Lagering cellars in the monasteries were locked, to protect aging beers and the monks carried keys to these lagering cellars. It may have been those keys, which remotely resembled the early churchkey openers, that gave the "churchkey" opener its name.^[16] Another motive for assigning the device such an ironic name could have been the fact beer was first canned (for test marketing) in 1933^[17]—the same year Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Cullen-Harrison Bill.^[18] This act, which predated Repeal of Prohibition, amended the Volstead Act, making 3.2 beer legal. Some experts have posited the term "churchkey" was a way to "stick it to" the religious organizations who had effected Prohibition in the first place.^[19]

Another key opener with completely different design was patented by J. Osterhoudt in 1866.^[20] Instead of piercing the can it was used to roll a stripe off the can. It was also called "key", because of resemblance to a door key. Such openers are attached to many small, thin-walled cans nowadays.^[21]

when you look forward to reading a book rather than make love (less mess and effort and lasts longer!)

When you look in the mirror and realise that gravity is the biggest bitch you are never going to meet and you need to roll your tits in your bra to have the same effect.

You stretch your face wishing for that facelift.

You dream that when you win that lottery the first thing you are going to do is have a tummy tuck, liposuction, facelift and all the fekking botox you can manage in your face.

I knew I got old when I talked to a really hot babe and told her how much I loved Mariah Carey, and she told me likewise, saying how her mother would play her CD's to get her to go to sleep at night when she was in kindergarten.

What makes me feel old is all of these youngsters nowadays who consider Prince & his music as something of the past, the way I considered Elvis in my youth.

Isn't it scary knowing that one day you are going to tune into the oldies stations and hear 50 Cents, Lady Ga Ga and Lil Wayne????

When you know its cold/rainy because of the pain in your knee

When you complain about someone else playing music too loudly

When a style you wore in highschool comes back into fashion

When you can say... "I remember when..."

When you speak of calling someone only involved dialing 7 numbers, rode in a car with no seatbelts, and wore a Dr. Pepper t-shirt.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Ye...hey waitaminute...I still HAVE a Dr. Pepper t-shirt!!!
