You can probably guess when someone was born by whether they
recognize certain TV shows from their youth. Â*I come from the
"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea/Disney/Bonanza/The FBI" Sunday
night TV generation. Â*I can't quite place any other shows to a
particular day but those shows seem to stick in my mind as family
TV night shows. Â*I think "The Man from Uncle" would have been
Thursdays. Â*Now think of how meaningless the above is for someone
born in 1990. (-: Â*We're getting old and in the way, but only the
good die young.

We must be about the same age. :-)


Have you ever noticed how few younguns there are around here? Â*I wonder if
it means that the new generation isn't interested in home repair.


Â*Most of the younuns aren't interested in anything but ipods, video
games, and skate-boards, gettin' high or gettin' laid. The only "fix"
they have in their lexicon is the one that makes them (or their
friends) high.


You know, there's a number of items in your list that many of us
"olduns" are still interested in.

Yup, but not to the exclusion of all else.
Well, most of us. A friend of mine hasn't been getting anything
accomplished this summer except getting "high" (flying his plane) and
getting "laid"
