- the heavy leather belt that you bought at age 18 and wore for the next 30 years is now 6" too short.

- the top-of-the-line motorcycle that you've had since you bought it new is now an antique.

- you have trouble setting up your turntable, but can't get help 'cause anyone you ask, thinks that an anti-skating control is some kind of municipal bylaw.

- milk crates don't fit your albums anymore.

- no one knows what you mean if you say that someone sounds like a broken record.

- you get 'sticker shock' from the prices on everything because you can remember when candy bars went up to 5 cents.

- you realise that if you had kids, they'd probably be older than the girl at the bar who is inspiring some truly epic fantasies in your fevered imagination.

- you don't pee standing up anymore 'cause you know you're going to have sit down anyway.

- the best underground music you can find sounds very much like bands that were getting radio airplay when you were in highschool.
