Mind of a college freshman 1999:  You know you're old when:

 

Few if any have had a tv set with fewer than 13 channels

Star trek brings visions of some bald english guy prentending to be french

Saying "you sound like a broken record" means nothing to them

Their world has always included AIDS

They have no meaninful recollection of the Reagan era

The cold war is something in history books

Black Monday, 1987, is about as significant as the Great Depression

 

 

You actually know who Rick Springfield is

You used to watch the Electric Company

You were afraid of the Sleestaks on Land of the Lost

You could sing 99 Red Balloons in English and German

There was nothing strange about Bert and Ernie living together

The rock group KISS was actually considered outrageous

The phrase 'Where's the Beef' still doubles you over with laughter

 

Thanks to Kenzer and Company's Knights of the Dinner Table magazine for these thoughts
