...when your birth year is closer to 1875 than it is to 2024 and you've been alive in 9 different decades. Damn I'm old!

Closer to 2024 here, and I’ve been alive in 8 different decades. You’re old AF. Stepping off your lawn now. You are officially an old fart.

I was born 4 months before 1950 so I get an extra decade "for free".

Born in 1955, so you're 6 years and a few months older than me. And yes, I have respect for my elders. Was taught that when I was just a little tyke.

"Beat it" by Michael Jackson came out on the 21st of February 1983, two years before I was born. But did anyone from that era notice anything peculiar during the video?

Okay -- Who remembers the television debut of the Thriller video (not LJ of course!)?

True but I'm not "that" young. Although technically speaking, Laura could be my mother.
