...your cultural references draw blank stares. I mentioned Jerry Falwell at my day job a couple of years ago, and the teenagers had no idea who I was talking about.  :duh:

I remember Falwell. He ruined our town when he took control of PTL ,away from Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. We lost a lot of tax revenue because of his hypocritical arse.

...you begin to dream about retirement. One of my coworkers is retiring today, and I get butterflies in my stomach just imagining how happy she must be!

When your co-worker announce there year of birthday and you say "Oh I remember 1987. Good year. I started work, Lost my virginity, got my licence...." then see their pitiful glances and continue with "....and I am very old"
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I do remember 1987, and the ill-chosen cropped jeans I owned, complete with a zipper down the outside of each calf!  :laugh:

Hmm. As a matter of fact, so did I. In 1987, that is.
