I'm 58. I'll be 59 very soon.

A lady said to me "You're only as old as you feel". To which I said "Then I'm 62".

There is something to be said for middle age. I'm old enough to know what foolish looks like. (and feels like). I know what really being in love means. I have the beginnings of wisdom. Real friends....some wealth.

And I just can't run like I could when I was 20 years old. It's a pretty good trade.

When I'm 75? Maybe not such a great trade.

I remember being a young man, and the things that were important to me then. And I laugh.

But I think I'm going to go with Mr. Rabble because he's always trying to rouse me.

Don't even try it, Dan! I said rouse not arouse!

Yeah, every time I see Dan's name I think of a short, stout, fat, dim man named ...um....um.....well...that is.......uh.....hmm......Sure Barney Rubble. Why not?

Terra; Have you ever met Dan? When I say the word "Arouse"...Dan is the first thing I think of! And apparently you did too.

Just remember, Riffle is a person who has real feelings. Don't toy with his emotions. :rolleyes:

In the towns and cities you could trick or treat alone, out in the country I got driven from house to house and my mother would go in and visit for a while at each house

I can't remember who the vice president was with Carter.
I can't figure out my seat belt. My wife has to fasten it for me.
I bought my Dad cigarettes by the case. It was medical fact back then that cigarettes made you cool.
I couldn't figure out how to play a record player. I assumed it was magic.
K-Mart was unheard of. Malls were a new thing (that's really true)
Color TV wasn't invented yet.
Trick or Treaters had to carry burning torches for light. Most of the time it just turned into all the kids chasing the one in the Frankenstein costume.
I can't remember the day Halloween falls on.
Remembering how to change a diaper is suddenly coming in handy again.

That's how old I am. I think. What were we talking about?

If we've learned anything from this display of falsehoods, I believe it should be to always fact-check Whitacre. He's a shifty character, that one.

Paul; I wasn't stretching things, I was just making it up. You give me wayyy too much credit.

I never stretch the truth. I just ignore it. I think of "Truth" as optional. That way, I never have to look things up. It's a time saver.

Ahem! What I meant to say was that I never watched a color TV until after I was born. There. I'm glad I cleared that up.:rolleyes:

I'm not dicey, I'm tricksey.

And I remember there being no color TV. It all has to do with quantum physics. You see, in a previous life, I was a princess...yes...that's right....a princess. And I was talking about there being no color TV when I was a princess.

Remember....quantum.....physics.........

And I was a princess. Prove me wrong, Riffle.

First, I did change "dicey" to "shifty" prior to your post.

Second, I can't prove you wrong. All indicators favor your theory, although, I'd guess you were a Queen.

The height differential is about right.

I think Barney might be in better shape than me, though.

Yes Dan, when animated characters are not on set filming...I know for a fact that they don't exercise. They can't. Union rules.

Of course, all that running to keep his car moving, probably has Rubble in pretty good shape. :rolleyes:

I do believe it was an actual episode. I remembered watching the scene before, however, I don't remember if it included Busch Beer, just beer.

So after re-watching it, I saw no indications of dubbing or editing, so my final answer, Dennis, is actual episode.
