Oh, Hell.

And here I thought Rick over at The Real Ugly American was my friend. Then he goes and tags me with one of those blogosphere "tag" games. So you know you have reached middle age when……?

- You realize that most "Trekkies" running around today were not even a gleam in someone's eye when you were actually watching the original shows when they were first broadcast. On a black and white television.

- You realize that a lot of people have absolutely no idea what a black and white television set is. Or was.

- You remember when a Commodore 64 was cutting edge technology.

- You realize that a large number of readers are going to have to Google "Commodore 64" to have a clue what you just wrote.

- You realize that it is too depressing to keep coming up with "you know you have reached middle age….? items because it makes you feel far, far older than middle aged. I hate you, Rick.

So, I'll tag The Anchoress with this one so she'll have someone to smack around!

    Ha!

    You know you are middle aged when:

    You remember The Muppets as spokespuppets for Wilkens Coffee.
    You remember Wilkens Coffee.
    Your Saturday morning TV as a kid included Sky King, Rin Tin Tin, and Roy Rogers and maybe a cartoon (Mighty Mouse?).
    You remember Fizzies
    You actually saw Doris Day in a first run movie (say, Glass Bottom Boat?)
    You watched Time Tunnel and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea
    Help, Cecil, Help! rings a bell

    dang … this would be fun if it wasn’t so depressing …
