Happy Birthday....The Aaron!!!!

[JPOL007]

Just saw this.....thanks for the kind words everybody!


No guitar stuff for my bday. I got a fancy smart watch, so I spent all yesterday having phone conversations on my wrist like Dick Tracy!

Happy Birthday late dude ccasion14: Love the videos and your approach to dealing with the forum. Now...explain who Dick Tracy is for everybody who is less than 50 :laughing7: I'm old enough to get the reference.

 

[swarfrat]

I'm 50. I know who Dick Tracy is but he was quite a bit before my time. He was just some dude with a smart watch, back when that was mind boggling science fiction.

Happy B Day Aaron.

Turned 54 last month, I know Dick Tracy--but never read that strip in the newspaper funnies. It always struck me as something out of an oddball timewarp. Brenda Starr too.

I can still do the things I did in my 20's....it just hurts more. In my house we have taken to calling Ibuprofen "Vitamin I".


Explaining Dick Tracy to young people is a fool's errand. You have to explain that is was a comic strip. Then you have to explain that comic strips were like really short comic books with only four or five frames that appeared in the funny pages. Then you have to explain that the funny pages were a section in the newspaper, but only on Sundays, because only Sunday got to be in full color. Then you have to explain what a newspaper is.

They still had comics during the week, they just saved their best material for the Sunday color panels.

Explaining rotary phones to youngunz is also a fools errand...

So....you're saying it's 20 cents per minute, so we can only afford to talk for half an hour?


And where is the camera?

 

[Michaelga]

Not to mention stick shifts and televisions that didn't have remote control!

More like time to realize it's hopeless, might as well get used to it....................... :headbang:

Happy Birthday Aaron!! Hoping you have a great year!

 

[Cagey]

Yip, I'll be 54 this year, Ibuprofen becomes a good friend in the 50's....Happy birthday.. :icon_thumright:

I'll be 62 this year, and yeah. I buy Ibuprofen by the jug.

Congratulations, Aaron! You made the trip around the sun one more time!

 

[swarfrat]

I miss vitamin I. Makes gerd worse. 

 

[mayfly]

Ya know, out east in the maritimes, they talk about 'Vitamin K'.  What they mean is Keith's India Pale Ale (of course!):

So, back on topic, Let's all hoist one or more 'Vitamin K's in honour of the Aaron!
