Everyone's age?

1985.2.24.I'm 20 now.But people always ask me whether I'm 15 or 16.
I'm a chinese!Maybe I can make some friends here.
 
Man. I see these kids posting that they were born in 1985... I'd already been in 4 car accidents by then!

I'm old --comparively. I remember Preseident Ford leaving, and Jimmy Carter (that dolt) taking office. I remember popcorn cooked on a stovetop, black and white TV, the advent of cable. I owned records --vinyl, dig (and I say "dig," you dig?)-- and 8-track tapes (I had several Led Zeppelin 8-tracks). I remember when the format shifted from them to Cassettes, then to CD. I remember Betamax, and the first time I watched a rented movie (ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES! --no, I'm not kidding). I remember when John Bonham died. Ditto for John Lennon, Randy Rhodes, and Cliff Burton. I remember manual typewriters --my first one was an Olivetti. Heh. I remember when you would liekly be shot for driving a Japanese car. I remember McDonald's introducing their apple pie (it was a quarter, if memory serves). I remember Black Sabbath breaking up and Ozzy going solo. I bought Pink Floyd: THE WALL when it came out. I remember "Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL." I remember Goose Gossage pitching relief for the Yankees. Bucky Dent at SS, Greg Nettles at 3rd, Bob Watson at first, and Reggie Jackson as the DH. I remember being able to smoke in movie theatres and airplanes. And the mall, for that matter. Hell, we had a smoking section in high school, and I graduated before some of you were born.


I'm 34.

It's exciting, isn't it? :D
BIG YAY!
 
No, they all did not happen in '85... just things that somone born in 1985 wouldn't remember, you dig?


And The Clash rocked the casbah (great-now that's going to be stuck in my head)!
