Back in my day, they made paint out of crushed butterflies. That means the only color you could paint a wall was a kind of nasty brown because butterflies don't crush into the color of their wings.

Back in my day, the future was strictly defined as "not next Tuesday, but the Tuesday after that." There was none of this vague "any time after now" crap.

Wear this shirt: when you're talking about how much better the Game Gear was than the Nintendo DS.

Don't wear this shirt: if you ever say things like, "I'm so glad they stopped using puppets like in the old Ninja Turtles movies and started replacing everything CGI!"

This shirt tells the world: "I'm young enough to still think being old is fun!"

We call this color: asphalt? Back in my day, we just called it "rocks stuck together."
