Feeling old...Add your own Chiefs listing

[Macroach]

Sorry if this has been posted recently. I found it amusing.

I wonder what a Chiefs version of this would be like?

BELOIT COLLEGE'S
CLASS OF 2007 MINDSET LIST®

In all fairness it should be understood that students entering college this fall do have a few items on their own lists that will separate them from many of their mentors:


1. For many of them today, it’s all about the “bling, bling.”
2. They know who the “Heroes in a half shell” are.
3. Peeps are not a candy, they are your friends.
4. They have been “dissing”and “burning” things all their lives.
5. They can expect to get a ticket for “ricing out their wheels.”
6. They knew how to pop a Popple and trade a Pog.
7. They can still sing the rap chorus to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and the theme song from Duck Tales.

Getting ready to fix that this year.

They weren't alive when Reagan was shot.
The first time the Space Shuttle blew up they were about a year old.
Iran Contra is a new video game by Konami to them.

Yeah.. I was in music class... they wheeled a TV in, and my teacher was crying. That's one of those "Where were you when..." moments.

They just kept showing that over and over and over.
I was at recess in the fifth grade when we heard about it.
Everyone started cheering because a teacher died.
I used to think back about how cruel that was. Now I think maybe it was our way of dealing with it.

o.k. enough of the flashbacks for me tonight..unless they involve ex's and chocolate sauce.

I even remember what I was wearing..these awful powder blue pants with an elastic waist and the matching horrific shirt.
My parents want to know why they aren't getting any grandkids?
"Dad, you put me in powder pants and sent me to school. You're lucky I haven't disowned you."

At least you didn't have to wear Rustler jeans. Those damn things were so stiff I could hardly bend my knees.

Oh shutup.

In 1981, the coolest albums were AC/DC Back in Black and Kool & The Gang with "Celebration"

Blue button downs, Izod, Levis 501's and Sebago's or Sperry's.

If you had a sound system in your car, it was due to the Jensen Triaxials and the Pioneer Tape Deck in the car.

Guys did not wear earrings.

Wichita Night Life was Pogo's, Nert & Girty's, Carlos & Wongs, Judge Riggs, and the COllege Inn.

Wichita State had a football team, and they held their own regularly vs. Ku & K-State.

IBM introduced the PC.

Geeks played Dungeons & Dragons. No magic, no networked computer games, other than the occasional MUDD.

Closest thing you got to a graphical user interface was a Mongol #2.

- I had a full head of hair, 32 inch waist, weight 180 lbs., and had never picked up a guitar -

Dude..one word..Toughskins! We have the iron on denim patches over the holes in them too.
WTF..did they think they were dressing a robot?

Back in Black's still one of the coolest albums.

For me, this is an increadible post...props. I did all the geek things and have somehow come out on the "you make money so you must be cool" end of things. I will, however, always be that guy that does things to make folks uncomfortable. I wore the 501s, had the posters of 501 wearers in my frat house room, played D&D all the way up to the day I went off to college and have never played since, had the Tri-Axels in my '68 Mustang with the 200 watt booster, over sized tires and chrome nugget wheels, still love most izod and polo wear. Still have a full head of hair and wear 33 inch waist jeans. BTW, met my wife at Bonzi Barny's in Wichita, loved going to the College Inn, and remember when Stix gave Kansas and Rush a run for their money!!

OK - when did you hang out at the CI? I was in Fairmont Towers at WSU in '81, '82, Spring of '83 & Spring of '84...
