In The Interest of Making NARNers Feel Old
Posted by Andy on March 21st, 2007
Mitch has a post up about how to tell if you’re a babyboomer in response to a lefty troll’s attack line saying he was one, but Mitch is denying it with a test of wit. King is admitting he’s old as dirt.
Well in the interest of upsetting the muy-senior geriatric representatives of the NARN, I’ll take Mitch’s test.
You Might Not Be A Baby Boomer If…: you have more Clash, Springsteen and Sex Pistols than Beatles and Stones in your music collection.
What if I do not currently have nor have ever had any of the above? And at the time that they were popular or ‘hip’, thought people who listened to that crap were old as dirt?
You Might Not Be A Baby Boomer If…: you have never used the term “Camelot” unironically to refer to anything after the 13th Century. Or if the word “Camelot” to you means dancing knights who push the pram a lot, rather than Jackie Onassis.
I’ve never used the word, ever.
You Might Not Be A Baby Boomer If…: the Teheran Hostage Crisis is more prominent in your memory than Kent State.
What is he talking about? I think the first tragedy of my time was the Challenger.
You Might Not Be A Baby Boomer If…: you think Dennis Miller was a better Weekend Update host than Chevy Chase.
What’s Weekend Update? Is that the old MTV news show?
You Might Not Be A Baby Boomer If…: “Quadrophonic” and “Eight Track” mean the same thing as “Edsel”.
Are these the first Rappers or something?
You Might Not Be A Baby Boomer If…: “Woodstock” was a bird.
That one I know. I guess the old fart isn’t making schtuff up.
With regards. I was just visiting with my grandma earlier tonight, and seeing these posts made me think of her.
Back in my day…..
