1. 27 years ago today

I was almost 4.

[progmom]

10. and i was almost 7

:hi:

[billyskank]

12. Hi progmom!!

:hi:

[progmom]

20. hey billyskank!!!!

:loveya: :hi:

[xmas74]

22. Very close to seven, from what I've heard.

[Bassic]

13. I was almost born

[xmas74]

23. so you barely scraped into the seventies.

[Bassic]

25. I lived in the 70's for one year minus one day.

[xmas74]

26. Just barely made it.

I have memories of Bionic Woman lunchboxes and disco.

[Bassic]

30. Well, so do I actually.

These things weren't completely dead in the early 80's

But I remember say Knight Rider a lot more vividly than the Bionic Woman.

[Mutley]

15. I was almost one year from being born.

[xmas74]

24. young 'un!

[Mutley]

27. yep!

:D

[xmas74]

29. Quit reminding me.

I've been feeling old the past couple of days.

[Mutley]

31. Hell, I feel old sometimes, too.

If I feel old NOW, how will I feel in 20 years? :scared:

[xmas74]

32. I'll probably feel awful.

I don't like thinking about it.

[Mutley]

33. With any luck they'll find the fountain of youth by then.

:D

[xmas74]

35. Wouldn't that be wonderful!

My daughter should be out of the house and I will have the energy to chase hot-looking younger men.

[Mutley]

37. WooHoo! Younger men!

:woohoo:

I'm all for that! :D

[xmas74]

38. I'm seriously comtemplating it.

The ones my own age in my area seem to be raving pukes. I want a youngish punk or a goth(they're so cute!)

[Mutley]

41. Check out a college in your area.

I know a lot of guys in my school are into mature women.

[xmas74]

45. I live in a college town.

Third largest state university in my state.

[hfojvt]

40. just need to compare yourself to me

27 years ago, I was 16. I was too young to fall in love, but I was too young to know, but far, far older than you or progmom.

[xmas74]

46. Can't help feeling old somedays.

You just get so tired sometimes.

[JimmyJazz]

2. You are all invited to my house tonight to watch Sid & Nancy

[johnnie]

4. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiid

"What about the farewell drugs? "

[MN ChimpH8R]

6. Great movie.

The last half hour of that movie is pretty chilling and creepy. Great performances by Gary Oldman and Chloe Webb.

[billyskank]

7. Damn, I can't make it

:hi:

[JimmyJazz]

18. That's a shame, because I was going to pop oodles of popcorn

make s'mores and sponsor a rousing game of charades after the movie. Oh well, too bad. :P

[billyskank]

19. What a bummer

:(

[Shell Beau]

3. 27 years ago today, I wasn't quite 3 months old!

:P

[LaraMN]

9. I was ten months old! eom

[WCGreen]

5. Hell I was 20......

lot's of wipper snappers around her...

(Grummble grummble, reach around scratch ass in an old man kind of way...)

[johnnie]

8. I was 14

Going on 14 1/2 :)

I remember when this all happened though. I had just bought "Nevermind the Bullocks" a few months before. I can still see the look of disgust on the record store clerks face when I brought the album up to the counter. They always knew what I should be listening to better than I did. :eyes:

[WCGreen]

11. I was in Columbus at the time.....

And the music scene there was pretty restricted....

They thought the B-52's were the best thing coming out of the "punk" movement.....

[Patiod]

14. Read "And I Don't Want to Live This Life"

by Nancy Spungeon's mother. Really, really facinating story about having a totally out-of-control, disturbed child in a family.

And why did the OP photoshop Courtney Love into a picture with Sid Vicious?

[JimmyJazz]

21. I think that's a picture of the real Nancy:

She did look a lot like Courtney Love now that you mention it.

[Patiod]

28. I know it's the real Nancy, but the resemblance to CL is scary

Creepy

You might appreciate the book, JJ, since it takes place outside Phila (Jenkintown, where I used to live)

[anarch]

16. for some reason, I am compelled to sing these words...

to the tune of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". The meter's a little off, and I can't think of a good follow up verse...but I can't stop doing it. :(

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

17. Sid and Nancy taught the band to play.

They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to stay a while.

[dolo amber]

34. 27 years ago today, I already had boobs

:cry:

[bigwillq]

36. WOW! I was eight months old!

:bounce:

Don't remember it! :)

[LaraMN]

39. I was a fetus!

Ugh. Don't ever put the word "fetus" into google images. trust me.
:puke:

[BreweryYardRat]

42. Gotcha beat...

27 years ago, I wouldn't exist for another 10 years. :P

[LaraMN]

43. Aw, not even a little "snowflake baby," huh?

Young'un! :P

[BreweryYardRat]

44. Yep. And proud of it!
