In This Thread, We Talk About Things That Make Us Feel Old

[KSUViolet06]

Hearing new members and newer collegians refer to Forever Sigma (old NM ed program) as "oh the old new member program from a long time ago."

We only introduced the new program in 2005ish. Seriously.

Also, the fact that college freshmen and HS kids are throwing 90's-themed parties like my generation throws 80's parties.

Hearing my middle school aged cousin refer to Clueless/Buffy/etc. as "omg why do we have to watch these REALLY OLD movies?"

I work with an entire group of guys who never saw ET in the theater. Because they weren't even in utero when it came out.

We also had to explain why we called a co-worker Magnum the day he wore a Hawaiian shirt.

Oh well, at least I'm a friendly fossil.

Ok - I gotta ask (though I think I don't really want to know) - what do 90s themed parties entail? Do they all dress like Zach and Kelly and head down to The Max?

LOL. Yes, that's what they dress like. They make a mockery of Saved by the Bell, not knowing that I wanted to BE Lisa Turtle growing up. lol.
