Muppet Christmas Carol
Muppet Christmas Carol will be 20 next year. That means that people born after this film came out are old enough to have children that are old enough to tell you that their parents weren’t born when this film came out.
The Princess Bride
Someone ended a sentence the other day with “… and I mean it!” and I followed up with “Anybody want a peanut?” in a really low gravelly voice. After several seconds of awkward silence I said that it was from the Princess Bride. More awkward silence. “You know… the movie.” Then one of the twenty-somethings around me said, “Oh yeah, I think...

One of my coworkers is wearing a Laverne sweater today (it has a swirly monogram on the left side). Two of us commented on it. She had no idea who Laverne was. She barely knows what Happy Days was.

I lost hope in the younger generations...
I’m sixteen. Yes I know I’m part of the younger generation,but I’m a little old fashioned with the way I was raised. So today I wore a Jimi Hendrix tee shirt to school, kids these days wear old music tees to look cool although they don’t listen to the music which really grinds my gears, but besides that, I was telling the person next to me how I was going to the store to...

The Cosby Show
The youngest child, Rudy, was played by Keisha Knight Pulliam.
Who is now THIRTY-TWO YEARS OLD.
I work with a group of girls in Girl Guides as sort of a junior leader. They were having a dance party one night, so all the leaders made mixed cds for them to dance to. Not a single one of them knew the words to Wannabe, or who the Spice Girls even were for that matter. I’ve never been so sad.

When I was eight I was making forts, getting a group of friends together and pretending we were power rangers, pretending I was a ninja, and actually using my imagination. She on the other hand only relies on...

WannaFeelOld on Twitter
Did you know Wanna Feel Old is also on Twitter?! Just go follow @wannafeelold for automatic updates on making you feel depressed. You can also submit stuff that was as well. HOW RUDDY SIMPLE!
On another note, Twitter didn’t exist until 2006. To put that in perspective, that’s how long Steve Irwin has been dead for.
Woah, Guys...
Can you believe it’s nearly been two hours since Tumblr looked like this?! Makes you feel old, huh?
I quite like the redesign. To celebrate it, I’ve added a “submit” page. There it is, on the left. Click it. Submit stuff.
