What is this Frisch's Big Boy? Do they put Gran Marnier in their pumpkin pie? Oh heck, just give me the fork either way.

You boys have fun with the prunes. Guess neither of you have mandated low flush toilets in your areas. Ah yes, water preservation at its finest here on the east coast. Save 3gallons per flush, then waste 25 more trying to unclog the toilet.

i knew i was old when i busted my neighbors party.....i became that guy.....

Oh snap you are old. Once you get branded as That Guy its all down hill from this point forward. But your not alone. I actually called the cops on a neighbors party. Only catch was all the cops were there partying. Man you should have seen the captain when he showed up because no black and whites answered the call. The fit hit the shan.

i also was wearin the same shirt as some dude shoppin at costco....an old dude that was shoppin....

ill be 30 next month, and i think i became that dude prematurely

Nice

I just had it put in a couple of months ago. I started flushing small things down the drain first to try it out, but when it was able to suck down a toaster, I knew I had a winner!

Of COURSE I got the heated seat with a ventilator. I also spared no expense and got the optional oxygen tank mounted for those days I forget to take my fiber!



Mine takes down water like the Titanic!

Sorry MJ, had to edit out that picture.

What's happening here, I forgot.

Plus it helps make sure we monkeys have plenty to throw.



Uhm......... I don't member either.

Wait......wut?

Sorry Scott, at a quick glance, I thought it was just a cig without a filter.

I guess that explains why we all forgot. Never smoke with Willie!

It's cool. I would have left it were this thread in the Lounge. Not to say someone else wouldn't have taken it out.

And don't forget all the Old Monkey's favorite...Matlock and the reruns of Murder She Wrote....

Of course! That just goes without saying.

Don't forget Magnum P.I.

Oh, and MacGyver (that "new-age" show was pretty good )

So who did the kicking exactly?

how bout adam 12, emergency,berreta.good shows

man this thread is seeing some action.

And yes to the cranky disposition.

How'd you get my picture?

And guys, when making up the tv roster for the week; just one more thing...Columbo!

Gotta love candid camera!

guys i'm so confused...
still trying to figure out if i'm an old monkey or not???


spent some time in Bardstown.
went to grad school with a guy from there... family name = Gaines

and i LOVE bourbon
i guess that was the hazard of living in Lexington for 4 years.
personally, i'm a Winkle Family Reserve man myself or Basil Hayden... have trouble finding the former regularly.
did get my hands on some Ruth Hunt bourbon balls recently though -> gotta love chocolate and Woodford together... mmmm


just had some 4 roses for the first time a few weeks ago -> impressed



pretty sure i'm not That Guy yet though...
i'm the one on my block still throwin the parties -> we're talking back yard keggers with bands
but i do make sure to personally inform my neighbors and invite them (to ward off visits from The Man)
i guess that qualifies as old monkey-like behavior, though...


beyond all that i'm goin' on 33 and just set up my first reef.

i'm so confused...
cheers

I Lovvvvve Magnum P.I. and still catch re runs...I'm a Trekky tho
I want a Mrs. Pac-man arcade machine

Wut, Wut,.

I hearz that tis kool threat is hearz. Word peeps.


Ok, your an old monkey if:

1. You know atleast one tv show from the 80's
2. You used to have to get up to change the tv channel.
3. Your definition of playing with friends was going outside.
4. You used a rotary phone at sometime.
5. You listened to cassette tapes or had a record player.

awwww, dude...
you gotta go for the sit-down table-style version of Galaga (a-la... Pizza Hut -> the only place i've ever seen these.)
i think they came as Pac-man and Super Pac-man too.



ok... i guess that seals the deal.. i'm an old monkey
1. silver spoons
2. yes -> old GE console model... yep back when electronics used to look like furniture
3. yup... on the BMX
4. and i've used a "party line"
5. both -> man, still wish i had that Star Wars vinyl

damn, old monkey it is!

The '80's? Honey, those are still new shows.

I remember how cool it was when cassettes came out for the general public. So much more portable than 8-tracks. Being able to make your own tapes? Walkmans? Priceless.

Sorry Don, but I have to do a bit of editing, based upon my own life....here we go...

Ok, you're an Old Monkey if:
1. You regularly watched several tv shows in the 60's
2. You only recently got rid of your last tv that you had to get up to change channels on.
3. I will go along with this one
4. Okay with this tee.
5. You can remember when 8 Tracks replaced the little reel to reel tapes.

Wow this thread has blown UP! happy to see that.

Hey Don good to see that you finally found your way home. For one I have done all in your list in my life time. But you left out the 8 tracks.. and beta players being way better than your moms reel to reel player. Tisk tisk.

I wish I could quote back to all the response but I cannot. So I will paraphrase it.

Bourbon is GREAT! Esp if its from KY. Mix it with chocolate and its even better.

Vintage video games are NOT OLD. My KISS pinball machine is old.

MJ is an old monkey. Logan so are you! Did you go to grad school at UK? Oh not a hazzard of living there, just one of the finer things we have to offer in KY.

All the shows you have mentioned are the greatest. But I am ashamed with all of you. How did you leave out WKRP in Cinci, The Dukes of Hazzard, Cheers, and The A Team? "Ah Lonnie Anderson!"

1. I was watching Sanford and Son lol but The Love Boat woo! hoo! that was drama
2.yep..big ass TV
3.I had my red ryder ready to pop a cap and my red Schwinn bike...we were terrors of the neighborhood
4.I had a big banana looking one
5. I still remember my first album "Grease" had to have it for my B-day

I was born in '71 so Disco was the thang and I remember that Galaga machine!! that would be my next choice! Then Asteroids

yeah..I'm old all right.

What about frogger and BC's Quest? I so wanted to turn my old cabnet style tv into a tank. Wife said NO MORE TANKS!

'71....you are truly a pup Maria...I graduated High School when you were 4!!!!

I am old.....dammit....

lol Mitch didnt you try out for one of the lead roles on Grumpy Old Men?

That begets the question--didya have a banana seat?

Loved Sanford and Son. I'm coming to join you, 'lizbeth! Wasn't Chico and the Man, but it was great.
In its heyday, All in the Family was cutting edge. The sound of a toilet flushing during primetime? Gasp! And then a few years later, Soap. Classic.

Not old.... seasoned

I am sure my mid life crisis is right around the corner

yep had a white and red banana seat and I gave my friends a ride lol

Frogger was awesome! and Qbert.

so now i'm gonna be that guy... bourbon HAS to be from KY... it's the law.


yep... pharmacy school at UK
cheers

Logans Run...great movie

I likey that law. Pharm school. Well thats above my head. I went to Purdue and majored in OLS Organizational Leadership and Supervision . Blah blah. Back to the goods.

Once ever 3-4 years a few friends of mine and myself go to the distillers and buy a few old wiskey or bourbon barrels. Then we fill it up about half way with distilled water. Then let her bake. Once every few days we will go out and roll/flip the barrel around. After about 6 months you have some of the smoothest barrel wiskey or bourbon that you have ever had. Oh and its about 60 proof.

Back to our age debate. I so had the Knight Rider Big Wheel, and oh oh the Chips motorcycle. I was so stylin. That ##### had a real PA system on it.

1. Yup, I know quite a few.
2. Been there, done that!
3. I grew up on a dead end street, so street hockey was a blast!
4. Many times! I think my grandparents still have one to this day.
5. Oh good old cassettes ....

Here's another one: if you've used a non-electric type-writer to create a document.



Hm.... might have a bit of trouble meeting the revised list requirements.



Look what our lil ole conversation went and did!




Apparently I'm a younger old monkey then. I think I'm younger than most of the other old monkeys, but I suppose that completing a doctorate degree (this January) adds a few years.



Ah the Dukes..... I think it slipped my mind because of the damage done by the new movie. I mean, running shine with cell phones? Come'on!

Is it a bad sign if I also fit those 5 things?

Also Militant, street hockey is AWESOME!!!!

I had an Evel Knievel Huffy. I broke it jumping off ramps built with 2 X 4's propped up on bricks. And no ####in' sissy helmet.

inorite? Nothing was more fun back then than busting out the roller blades and hockey stick!



It broke? Wow, that sucked. That's the proper way to build a ramp though! Seems like kids these days have no ingenuity. If they want something, they have to go buy it from someone.

Ya, who knew the welds weren't strong enough for the pounding me and my friends put bikes through.

Old Monkey as a child remembers:

1. Waiting for the new weekly episode of Gilliagan's Island and wondering why Ginger had such a large chest.
2. Dreaming of that cool Schwinn 'Lemon Peeler' or 'Cherry Picker' bicycle.
3. Getting excited about a new tetra tank with plastic plants, a 'pirate skeleton-in-the-chest' decoration and artificially colored gravel.
4. LA proper still had orchards and farmers...and vacant lots to have dirt clod fights with your friends.
5. 'Fun' was putting together puzzles of the United States, Europe, etc....over and over and over again.

See what all you youngsters missed?

How bout kick the can, stick ball,chase.Or when there was more than one petshop in town that was family owned.

Scott I once left my ramps out on the street. The friggin mail truck ran over them. We lived on a dead end street so it wasnt strange to leave the ramps up while eatin lunch.
Do any of you remember the Yamaha pedal bikes? I had one that was fully suspended with the same fork tubes and coil overs as the 150 dirt bikes. Man that thing was heavy. But the banana seat was so cool. Who needed helmets, we didnt have cement or asphault to ride on. You fell off, spit on the cut, rubbed that off, then laughed "cause you were way to cool to cry in front of your friends" Then you kept on riding.

So who had the little plastic box with Mexican Jumping Beans in it? Now those were cool. I had GI Joe when he was still 12" tall. He was a real ACTION FIGURE!

oh and Mitch you can post on the cigartrader forum now.

Hi5!!!


5 for 5!!!

A while back, I converted an 80's style arcade game into a PC arcade emulator. It runs all the classic arcade games.

Nice!!!

Speaking of things that take you back....

When I was a kid, my dad had a pinball machine in the basement. One of these days, I'm gonna get me one.

Until we sold them we had Asteroids, the helicopter game, and the martian one (with the joystick controller) all like those ones above lol. Friends had Xbox, I had Asteroids haha.
