With all the talk of birthdays lately, I was realising just how "un-hip" I have become. So complete the following sentence:
You know you're getting old when . . .
The stuff on the radio ceases to be "music" and becomes "noise".
Your prom song is on the oldies station.
A buddy tells you he has a cracked game and you think he copied the code wheel that matches the elvish symbol with the dwarvish rune.
You remember K-Tel adds of TV offering your choice of LP, cassette or 8-track.
Every good show on television was brought to you by the letters K, A and the number 3.
You remember when Tori Spelling dyed her hair brown.
In the good old days, they had to knock out Inspecta Collect when Hannibal wanted to fly somewhere.
Everybody loved Brian Piccolo (and he looked a lot like James Caan).
Pong was just like the real thing.

...when someone addresses you with "Excuse me, sir," instead of "Hey, boy..."
... you're dead drunk with just "a couple of beer" instead of "a couple of cases."
... you go to a disco not to dance but to "just stay cool," scour the area and just hunt.
... you worry/get disgusted about tax. 
... you finally realize the pain your parents had when they raised you.

......you start to talk with "Back then......"
......you losing your Spamming ability drasticly
......you lose your spam sense and make another pack against it
......you realise you lurk too much 
......you start blaming all things around you, and nothing is right in front of your eyes.

How about . . .
Beer not only breaks a sweat, but gets warm.
You start missing Letterman's Top 10 because midnight is "just too late."
You stop buying vodka that is on the bottom shelf at ABC.
Your kids start changing your diaper.

A night out is dinner, and maybe a movie.
When you and your friends do go to a bar, at some point in the evening you will all be drinking water.

........... Going out doesn't entail you ending up in the hospital on a regular basis!

...Sex isn't considered an "extreme sport"
...You start to shop with "regularity" on your mind
...you create a website devoted a CRPG based in a fantasy realm
...Your log in name involves sleep | | |

| You have good friends that were born the same year you got your NES.
Only those older than you get your puns that refer to shows such as M*A*S*H.
Here's one that applies to a friend of mine who was wearing size 16 shoes by the time he was 15-years-old. "You're age is higher than your shoe size."

You meet someone after a party and you say 'That was a hell of a party I don't remember the last time I threw up (from drinking too much) after a party!'
You check the dance floor for obstacles before you do a knee slide during your lead solo.
The bulge in your 'preening rock god levis' is hanging over your belt not under it.
The walking stick you bought as a joke when your friend turned thirty comes in handy.

...you look down at your bed, and you're still on it, dead.
