You Are No Longer "Cool" When... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

01-29-2005, 05:24 PM

You find yourself listening to talk radio.

You daughter says she got pierced and you look at her ears.

The pattern on your shorts and couch match.

You fondly remember your powder blue leisure suit.

You think Tragically Hip is when a middle-aged man gets a new sports car, hair piece and a 20 year old girlfriend.

You criticize the kids of today for their satanic suicide-inducing music, forgetting that you rocked to Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath.

You call the police on a noisy party next door instead of grabbing beer and joining it.

You turn down free tickets to a rock concert because you have to work the next day.

When grass is something that you cut, not cultivate.

When jogging is something you do to your memory.

Getting a little action means your prune juice is working.

All the cars behind you flash their headlights.

You remember the "Rolling Stones" as a rock group not a corporation.

You bought your first car for the same price you paid for your son's new running shoes.

You actually ASK for your father's advice.

You don't know how to operate a fax machine.

When someone mentions SURFING you picture waves and a surf board.

**Ann** · 01-29-2005, 05:34 PM

Ouch!! I am somewhat but not completely "uncool". Now Gabe, she's "cool".

If thats the case Dan, have I got a joke for you!

(I'd hate to hi-jack my own thread so I'll post it later)

Gabe · 01-29-2005, 06:24 PM

Good, hijacking your own thread wouldn't be cool.

01-29-2005, 07:25 PM

Hi-Jack.

Retirement

My nookie days are over, my pilot light is out.

What used to be my sex appeal, is now my water spout.

Time was when, of its own accords, from my trousers it would spring.

but now I have a full time job, just to find the blasted thing.

It used to be embarrassing, the way it would behave.

For every single morning, it would stand and watch me shave.

But now as old age approaches, it sure gives me the blues.

To see it hang its withered head, and watch me tie my shoes.

Gabe · 01-29-2005, 07:29 PM

Oh, that is not cool.

Free to love · 01-29-2005, 07:40 PM

I can almost relate. But as a woman, other things are watching me tie my shoes.

lonlion · 01-29-2005, 08:04 PM

I DON'T BELEIVE I'M COOL ANY MORE.........

abtchonamission · 01-29-2005, 08:27 PM

All those things are grown up things.

I refuse to grow up. That wouldn't be cool.

mikee · 01-29-2005, 08:34 PM

Gabe · 01-29-2005, 08:35 PM

**Ann** · 01-30-2005, 04:18 AM

It's all relative. Compared to Gabe and Trisha, I'm somewhat uncool, but compared to Doug and Dan...I am very very cool

<---cool smiley

abtchonamission · 01-30-2005, 09:30 AM

Ann - you are very, very cool. Trust me, I'm sure Gabe will agree.

Dan · 01-30-2005, 12:49 PM

's cool.

Interesting avatar, Dan. Beating a dead horse, are we?
