You know you're old when...

I used the word 'baller' to describe a rich person to my cousin and his gf (I'm 32 and he's 19) and they start laughing and say "no one uses that word anymore."

You should've said "F you, I use the word". I'd be interested in knowing what kind of stupid word they use to describe wealthy people nowadays.

What do they say I still say baller? Flossin is stupid.

You know you're old when you remember and saw in the theater the original King Kong vs Godzilla in 1963.

Seemed good at the time...

8 years old and I thought it was a masterpiece!

Through the eyes of a little kid...

I loved monster movies. Still do.

I was the same age when I saw the original Star Wars (1977) in the theater I think.

I remember when Monday Night Football was on ABC with Howard Cosell, and we got one Major League Baseball game a week on Monday Night Baseball. And watching Mohammad Ali box, live. And we had to turn the channel, with a plastic knob, and turn the outdoor antenna with vise grips, and my first black and white TV in my bedroom.

Loved me some Captain Kangaroo too, and Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley.

You remember Creature Feature and Chiller Theater? Not necessarily monster movies but horror movies.

I don't know those. I looked them up and it said Creature Feature was broadcasted everywhere, including L.A., which is where I used to live but I don't remember it.

And if I'm reading it right Chiller Theater was broadcasted in New City on channel 11 WPIX, so not in my area.

They were TV series' that aired old horror/sci-fi movies, yes? They both sound like they were a lot of fun.

It wasn't a series really. They aired horror/sci fi movies. I think on Saturday nights originally.
