"Older Than Dirt"

[Kathianne]

One of the funny sites that comes up on my fb newsfeed. In fairness there are a couple things I don't recognize, but 'mimeographs' are something that would show up in grammar school when the 'xerox' broke. Great smell, I think the nuns got high! I don't know what the heck 'butch wax' is.

While I may not be "older than dirt"

I remember when it was made

[Gunny]

I got almost a perfect score. The 2-3 I DIDN'T get were because I didn't know what the product was.

A-h-h-h-h-h...the smell of fresh mimeographed paper in the morning

On the other hand. I invented Dirt. Was the special effects director for Moses crossing the Red Sea, and I helped set the table at the LAST SUPPER.

Any questions?????

I forgot to add that, because of my many years in the Navy. I was also NOAH's Navigator on the ARK. But I was a lousy weather man. Those 40 days, and nights of Rain were a real SOAKING time!

I don't know what "butch wax" is. For hair? I had a buzz cut until I was 10 or so, so I wouldn't know. Unsure about the party lines only I know my first phone number was WA3-xxxx. Was the "Walnut" exchange.

I don't think I recall newsreels before movies. Cartoons.

I STILL drink from a real glass. If I must, a can. We had a milkman and milk came in glass bottles, and Cokes were a nickel in the machine and came in a bottle. I remember the rest of the stuff.

We never had a 'party line' but some people in town did. 834=Terrace 4 279-Brownie 9

LOL! Remember no 'area codes' for local calls?

That hasn't been that long, has it? I think just since I got a cell. Well, THAT's been 17 years, so I guess so. But yeah, I remember. You dialed the numbers, too

Maybe Chicago got that sooner than others? With 'divestiture' the area went from one area code-312; to 630, 847, 815, I forget the rest. LOL! All my peeps were in 312, 630, and 847.

When I first saw this thread I had thought it was about Gunny, that he was still puffing out the dirt when he laughed.

I got news for you, Francis Jimbob Cletus ... I am actually in between the older guys and you puppies. And from the looks of your "Cletus the Foreign Religious Book Collector" pic, I'm in a LOT better shape than your marshmallowy looking self

[High_Plains_Drifter]

Well... I'm officially older than dirt.

I don't remember "Butch Wax" either.

Oh boy, tough guy, huh?

This is most likely why a lot of folks don't share pictures, so that they don't get critiqued by those who think they're better, or in a "lot" better shape.

I know, tough guy, I shouldn't say anything, as you'll claim I try and look tough daily. I'm glad I was man enough to take back my words. I know, I know. Save it.
