Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I am old

Wow, really? I enjoyed 30 and didn't really quite know who I was until I was 29 or so. I have always been in pretty good shape but I was my fittest at age 32 or so. Yes, college-age girls are too young but late 20s girls are where it is at anyway---it is awesome to have an incredible/intelligent coversation for hours with a woman and then jump into bed. I am turning 36 in March and don't feel old at all.

I remember when....you just summed up my youth!

My pops brought "Thriller" home from Japan before it was released here in the states. The box didn't have a lick of English on it, but the whole movie was done in English, no dubbing or subtitles.

I remember Go-Bots and the original Transformers, too. Oh, and Thundercats and He-Man. I'm not even old yet. According to one poster here, I'm at the downturn: 28. I feel old when I find out some of my co-workers haven't even heard of Jack Kerouac or The Kinks.

This thread makes me feel young at 20. Granted most people think I'm at least 22 and are shocked when i tell them I'm only a sophomore. Thank you beard for allowing me to drink in bars and buy my own booze since i was 18!

Was this in KS? My uncle got banned from the state of KS back when he was 18 and you couldn't drink in MO until 21. I always found this hilarious.

If you wanna feel old really fast, become a teacher while you're in your 20's.

As for Skanking Biker, My theory is that he saw a Skankin' Pickle album in Turtles when he was looking for the New Age section and decided to rip off the name.

A good friend of mine that I worked with who is about five years younger than me saw that movie and told me that he thought of me when "Frank the Tank" started talking about spending the day at Home depot and such. What can I say? Got a house, it comes with the territory. Seriously, I'm 33 and I'm enjoying my thirties more than any other decade so far. Nice wife(usually), awesome kids,nice house, good job, some toys and I'm in better shape than I've been in since, well, ever cause of the fix. I'm getting better as I age.

Taught Art for 5 years, and damnit you are right.


Ahh...Turtles. The place where you walked into a freestanding building to buy an album on a wax disc that you had no clue what it sounded like. It was an exciting time. You were the guinea pig for the rest of the world, unwrapping a turd or masterpiece and listening carefully through it to measure it's worth as a frisbee.

I used to have a Skankin' Pickle pin. I didn't think the band was that great, but the pin had a picture of a dancing pickle, how could I not buy that?

Yeah, they were pretty terrible. They did have songs about Margret Cho and Degrassi Jr High though.
I'll put them on the same level with The Mad Caddies. Cool name, cool graphics, not so cool music.

Yes.

Frequently stoned (legally).

Overlord.

I don't think I can handle two threads on my own.

Is anyone else stoned ?
