No need to get all emotional!
I'm happy that I failed your test, but you have to remember, we were all having a jolly good time telling people what made us feel old, and then you hopped in and pulled that tuff-guy act about facts and hip-huggers, therefore, you Mr man are the wet towel in this topic!
I wrote that under the assumption that you could tell it was complete sarcasm, but it appears you took some of it seriously...did someone forget their medication today?
And of course I did take a step back an reread some of my posts, and I'm still laughing. Not because they are particularly clever, but because they are so sarcastic, and hats off to you by the way...your responses were priceless and gave me a chuckle or two while I was slaving away at work, so thanks a bunch.
I love the word "whoring" I try to use it in every sentence now, but I've got to watch it at work!
Actually, most of the time I add a lot to discussions, but also there are threads where I toss a dart or two out there, which I see most people doing from time to time.
With that, I don't really have to explain myself to you anyway, and I'm glad you don't want to discuss anything with me....you are way too emotional for a forum poster, and with the millions of Firefly fans out there....you are just another brick in the wall.
With that, our lovers spat has ended.
So this is what its like to talking with acid-flash-backing trained ape...

Wow! You summed that up well!

This will seem kinda odd. I know the music I listened to in my heyday is now 20 odd years old and that doesn't bother me, I kind of feel that it was "of that time."
What surprises me is hitting iTunes for a song that I thought was just a couple of years old and discovering that it was a hit 10 or 15 years ago.
I was never a big fan of "House" music for example but there was a catchy tune that I found myself humming all one summer, suddenly I discover that it's 13 years old --- how did that happen?

Looking at all the Hollywood remakes/parodies of my favourite television shows when I was a kid and thinking, for God's sake WHY?
I remember the original Starsky and Hutch, the original Dukes of Hazzard, Bewitched, The Brady Bunch, et. al., with great fondness. These new versions are just crap. It makes me wonder how they get the go-ahead for these things, and yet Firefly/Serenity has to struggle. Then I remember that the world pretty much sucks, and THEN I feel old. ;P

I gotta love anyone who refers to their age as "7 Earth years old".

I felt old when I realized I could not understand what a Pokemon was.

You should come visit Utah!
Wacky fun!

OK, cult TV time. Anyone remember a Japanese puppet series called 'Star Fleet'?
I used to watch it when I was a nipper (I'm talking early '80s here, I'm not so creakin' as some of you folks!), but thinking back now, a few of its plot details seem a little familiar... 
Large, long-necked ship? Check. Disparate crew of scientists and mercenaries? Check. Enemy called the Alliance? Check. Young girl aboard with mysterious past, who may or may not have special psychic powers? Check.
No wonder I remember it so fondly...
There's a dedicated fansite at www.sfxb.co.uk if anyone wants to know what I'm babbling about!

trying to explain rotary phones, remembering when there were mom & pop video rental places,
(and speaking of which) realizing that we are now bringing up a generation that is unfamiliar with the phrase "Be kind, Rewind".
