I feel old.
I'm on the phone with a kid right now, helping him fill out his 08-09 FAFSA right now, and accidentally yanked my headphones out of the computer's jack. It was playing Rick Astley, because this is the time of night at work that I listen to my 80s Cheez-o-rama playlist. The kid is all "dude, did somebody just Rickroll you? That's the Rickroll song!"

There's an entire generation that will only know the magic of St. Astley from the Rickroll. This saddens me. Also, makes me feel old.

2. I am working on a Lounge playlist in iTunes
So far it has Rick Astley, a couple of Laura Branigan songs, and Baby Got Back.

7. 26! You're a baby.....
...I know, you've probably heard that before....

But, this 44 year old guy, sitting on a blow-up dough-nut because his prostate is killing him, only wishes he was 26 again....:cry:

8. Even worse:
There's an entire generation of kids out there who never experienced the combo cartridge of Duck Hunt and Super Mario Brothers when it was the newest thing.

11. True story: I had a moment in Gamestop
Looking at the rack of GBA games, when some kid started squealing about the new Mario game.

...it was the port of SMB3. :cry:
