You Might Be A Bit "old School" If...

[The Albatross]

You know you're old school if you thought you were cool because you could do the Stroll, the Mashed Potatoe, the Twist, the Pony, the Swim, the Jerk and the Watusi.

You know you're old school if you remember banks and savings & loans were giving good interest rates on your saving and checking account. :cautious:

Yea! The Watusi and the Twist. And a decade or so later the Funky Chicken.

I also remember when they came out with Unleaded.

Yeh, I remember that too; then, as a bus-girl at a restaurant, when I'd ask if anyone wanted a refill, the same ol' joke, "Well, that all depends there, young lady: is it leaded or unleaded?"

***
You know you're old school if you remember when there was no "unleaded coffee."

You know you're old school if when you were sent to see the principle, he had a paddle. He didn't use it on me, but he had it sitting in a prominent place on his desk. That was all it took.

You know you're old school if your surf board was 10 feet or more and you made it custom it in the garage.

What about the times when everything didn't have to be so politically correct? Baa Baa Black Sheep didn't cause anyone any kind of offence then!

Oh mine used it on me, many times I might add.. lol

Most of the good ones have been taken, but...

As a teen when a laser movie disk was the size of a 12' record and twice as thick. Long movies you had to turn it over like a record.

C.B. Radios were all the rage, no sidebands or channels above 20. You hade to have a government issued license to own one.

"Truckers" were cool, not something to scare your kids with/about.

Satilites were only owned and used by governments, for government "stuff".

later to adult years...

Bullitin boards wern't just something you posted a paper bullitin on. It was a place you could download/upload text and *.gif's. (precurser to the internet where u had to dial up the host computer).

The "Internet" was new.

You might be old school if you remember when hand-held hair dryers and curling irons replaced the colossal hair-drying units and hair curlers that you slept in (ouch).

...if learning to tie your shoelaces meant you were a big kid! (no velcro)!
