5. Whoever came up with the saying

"back in the day" should be beaten within an inch of his or her life with a copy of White & Strunk!

I hate that! It means what, exactly?

To paraphrase by bud Billy Shakespeare, it is an expression told by and idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing!

Now I am not saying that you are an idiot, but of course I am open to that possibility (just kidding)

:hi:

6. It was a gray-haired attempt to seduce the younger audience.

I should have started, "Well, back when I was knee-high to a grasshopper,"

[ashling]

7. That works

Back when I was knee high to a grasshopper if you wanted to see a really big shoe you had to get up and go over to the TV and actually turn it on and then turn the nob to change the channel . . . we didn't have no gal durn sit on your lazy ass and click remote control, gal durn it. And WE LIKED it!

8. Internal combustion? nah.

[ashling]

9. And sometimes when we walked over to change

channel on our steam driven tv, we had to walk through the snow - barefoot - and we could only get 15 seconds to talk to our grandparents on the telephone, because long distance was so expensive, and besides we could only hold the telephone reciever up for that long because it was a big heavy metal contraption made out of cast iron
