I am too old for this...the 40 plus thread.

none of these people seem at all cool -- I feel legitimately cooler having been ignorant of their existence

I still have no idea who these people are

^^^ also I don't really even care.

i had a dream about jenny slate & chris evans last night, hate u guys

A good dream or

I can't wait to old the shit out of ILM in 60 weeks or so. WHO THE HELL IS THE WEEKND IM PRETTY SURE IM COOL FOR NOT KNOWING THE ANSWER

You kids today with your streaming services and

gonna imgur the fuck out of my case logics, one page at a time

wait they had the SAME guy play the human torch AND captain america? that's so dumb.

it was a pretty boring dream :(

tbh when i first heard jenny slate's name i thought is that . . . slate dot com's advice columnist?

i was not cool for not knowing the answer

do any of you get that "ehhhh, what do you know, you're young/a kid/etc..." from people in their 60s or older? hate that shit. makes me irrationally angry. maybe i just don't look adult enough. but i'm almost 50...and my back hurts...

it has taught me to try and not do that to people younger than me. and just treat adults like adults. and not talk down to kids. but sometimes i slip up.

48 used to be ancient.

scott I think the right thing to do is to say "hey man, I'm sorry you had to grow up with lead paint and leaded gas, but I'm only 12 years younger than you - thanks for all you did to clean up the environment so we don't have to breathe that shit any more"

ha, i do tend to get defensive. sometimes i'll ask them how old they are and then i'll say "eh, 66, that's not that old, i actually thought you were a lot older..."

this woman came in the store and she was so healthy looking and light on her feet and quick and i figured she was in her 70s and she told me she was 90! i couldn't believe it. and then she told me she had been a dance teacher. so, there you go, everyone start taking dance lessons.

THEY'RE STILL BEING USED IN SHOE STORES. LOOK UNDER THE BENCH, IF YOUR BACK CAN HANDLE IT, OLD-TIMER.

Had a 50something co-worker pedagogically explain to the rest of us in the newsroom the other day how LEVON HELM from near HELENA was in THE BAND.

i have always thought that the whole "you're too young to remember that..." line of reasoning was the most demented thing on earth. i get it a lot obviously having to withstand countless boomers in my record store. but people really do believe that you had to be a certain age at a specific time to know what something is.

I am 40, and I know who Jenny Slate and Chris Evans are.

or more accurately they will say "you're too young to know who that is...". as if all knowledge of a person or thing just...stops?

it's all good though. it does teach me what not to do when talking to people.

unfortunately, i am at the age now where i think that most young actors are horrible and dumb and boring. which is kinda sad. broad city duo are heroes to me though. so i'm not a complete monster. there are definitely exceptions.

*makes old man breathing noises*

I am 51, and I know who Jenny Slate and Chris Evans are.

I would think Morbz knows who Jenny Slate is cuz of Obvious Child

Publizity is the best.

It's based on their names.

I'm 42 and I know it's based on their names.

I also like Mike Capuano

is there a thread for comedy things for people that hate 99% of all comedy things?

The Lex probably started one somewhere.
