I'm in touch with the new generation.  I know all the latest hits in the pre-school set.

I mentioned to some friends that I sat behind Ben Johnson in the cinema the other day.
None of them had ever heard of him, and they're only a couple of years younger than me.

The playwright?

Yes.

Why am I not surprised that katmai and Brain are the ones to take my comment the wrong way. :rolleyes:

They can't imagine any form of sex likely to actually lead to production of (human) babies?  ;)

To be fair, that does make you pretty damned old.  But tell him I liked Epicoene.

It first hit me when I encountered someone who had no idea what I meant by "what we have here, is a failure to communicate."

And yeah, definetly.

I've seen some creative spellings of "definitely," but that takes the taco.  Sadly, I've also come to the realization that a lot of the current youth aren't even going to get that reference. :(

Flash Gordon is a great example.  Max von Sydow, Brian Blessed, and Timothy Dalton were all fairly big names at the time, but the only one kids now usually recognize is Dalton, and that's only because of the continuous publicity the Bond franchise gets.
Experience bij!

I haven't really felt out of touch with the younger generation, either because I'm in denial or not that old yet. What i have felt, as of late, is the feeling of something happening only a couple of years ago when really it was 10 plus years ago. It's an odd feeling.
