    You know you're old when...

    While driving over small bumps in the road, your manboobs jiggle slightly.

    Your knees tell you winter is coming before the weather man.

    You say hi to a hot chick and hear "Ewwwwwww!"

    You look down and can't see your shoes cause of your beer belly.

    You've seen the current batch of NFL HOF nominees play on tv.

    You actually remember there being only 3 channels on tv...and no remotes.

    You warmed up the TV and watched a test pattern on Saturday morning before the cartoons came on.

    When you changed the station, you "dialed in" the antenna.

    I was thinking cassette tapes - thanks for making me feel not so old!

    I also remember watching the "original" Knight Rider and Battlestar Gallactica as a kid. Haven't seen one minute of the new ones - but if BJ and the Bear ever comes back, that's a different story.

    You remember the phrase...."Is it live or is it Memorex"

    You remember watching the Wide World of Sports

    Tarzan was on every Saturday afternoon

    Baseball teams/players pretty much stayed the same from year to year

    Nascar wasn't considered a sport

    Evil Knevel was all that and more

    Going home for lunch from school was a normal thing

    Charlies Angels....Farah Fawcett(sp) grrrrrrr

    Who shot JR was the talk all summer long

    Dean Martin's Celebrity Roast - they couldn't show them by today's standards

    Police officers would stop and help you change a flat tire

    Baseball cards in spokes

    Collecting pop bottles for money

    3.2 and 6% beer

    CB radios and talking to truckers....that's a big 10-4
    Balls of Steele!!

    You remember when hairy bushes were all that you saw in porn and elsewhere. (not that this is a good thing)

    You remember Billy "White Shoes" Johnson dancing in the end zone and not being penalized for it.

    Fast food places gave out cool toys/glasses in the kids meals.

    You actually have a pile of beta tapes down in the basement, including, but not limited to, Star Wars, the TV show V, the '82 Bengals Super Bowl, and The Day After.

    You remember when dayton actually was good and made the NCAA tourney regularly.

    Oh and you used to have a party telephone line between your house and two "neighbors" (who each lived well over a half mile away).

    I HATE dayton.
