TNG s2e7 “Unnatural Selection”
Someone covered Smooth Criminal?
–old guy
Just reminded me of Captain EO.
Last week a teenage store clerk asked if I needed my purchases carried to my car.
I didn’t, because the question caused me to crumble to dusk.
“need? Nah. You want a break from bagging and a quick chat I’m up for it if you are. Grab an empty bag and if anyone asks you’re carrying it for me” then give them double finger guns
Sorry to hear that you’re reaching your sunset years.
A few years ago my Bluetooth thingy died and I had to listen to the radio so I turned on the oldies station trying to catch some beach boys or something and they were playing Guns N Roses. Marjor psychic damage. Then they got the crit multiplier cause when I switched to classic rock they were playing the Sex Pistols
So where do you go to listen to beach boys?
I still find Beatles on the “classic rock” station (specifically Blackbird). I haven’t paid so much attention and rarely listen to the radio, but I’m sure I heard beach boys there too.

Reddit. They’re everywhere.
Ohh, beach boys
It’s been years ago now, but I knew I was old when we were further away from Lagwagon’s cover of Brown Eyed Girl than they were from the original.
Is this tales from the crypt?
Close enough. It’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Fun fact, Dryden from AAF is a documented racist and bigot. He was called out in the NME (or maybe MM, I forget) at the height of their fame by a journalist who followed them on tour and saw him frequently using racial slurs to refer to members of the road crew. Then when social media started being a thing, he was on there with (subsequently deleted) N-words and homophobia.
Meanwhile here I am in my 40s sometimes getting carded when buying booze and I look em straight in the eyes and point to my grey beard, then ask if they wanna see my thinning hair 👴
I get carded whenever there’s a young kid at the till. I just give it to them because I know their boss has given them shit about it
Wait you don’t get a bit happy they felt to card you? I need to go to newer stores for that excitement.
Actually recall being over a decade younger and being carded and amused, doesn’t happen overly often this side of 40 let alone back when I was younger. Apparently I looked a tad younger from comments (at parties unless they were just hitting on me, I dunno now) but rarely card for decades now. Always have it ready just to make things smoother mind you, don’t want to hold up the line and all
Got carded at a bar for the first time in years. Just hoping they didn’t see me blush through the grey in my beard.
I was so happy when I stopped getting carded in my late twenties. I didn’t need to carry my wallet around with me anymore just to show ID when I pick up booze. made it that much easier to go run errands, as I only needed my phone in my pocket
Now I just need my government ID for out of state travel and to make cannabis purchases. Everything else I need or want to do is doable without an ID.
For me it was when they played “Sell Out” in the grocery store.
You know you’re old when you start singing along to the music while grocery shopping. I was ashamed when I caught myself.
At least you’re not marching along with the music matching your feet yo the beat and the tiles
I don’t even know if we have an “Oldies” station left, but I heard a Linkin Park song from 2003 on the biggest Classic Rock station in the area last week, and I’m still trying to process that.
Also, obligatory “there was only 13 years between the original and the Alien Ant Farm cover, but 25 years since the cover”
That’s not surprising at all. Any media older than 20 years is old.
In fact, watching Star Trek TNG is the equivalent of watching black and white movies.
Pacing isn’t that impokay i am watching voyager and if someone doesn’t speed this ship up I’m gonna skip an episode
When Five Finger Death Punch comes up on the Classic radio station
Tamarian: Michael and Wade at Neverland
