		<description>Ahhhh, the Little Professor. Brings back memories. I had one of those once. 

And I, too, have discovered the horror of aging. In my case? I&#039;m sounding exactly like my mother. My tone, inflection, catchphrases. I should just end it now.

		<description>Oh, those crazy kids:

1. They suck.

2. Their music is all unbelievably derivative.

It&#039;s not you. It&#039;s them.

		<description>I&#039;ve so had those moments when I realized that I wasn&#039;t a &quot;youngun&quot; any more.  It sucks but I&#039;m starting to embrace my old age.

		<description>I wanted to be all, &quot;HAH!  Big Lebowski, bitch!&quot;  And then I realized that I&#039;m several days late and everyone beat me to it. 

Fancy phones are so much fun, but I&#039;m just so easily distracted and absorbed in bullshit that I can&#039;t even fathom having one.  So I went halfsies, and got a semi-fancy phone.

		<description>jud&#039;s list made me laugh! although i&#039;m not quite clear what &quot;sans-a-belt&quot; pants are . . . ;-)

i think you might be feeling your age a bit more than the norm because you&#039;re surrounded by all those young folks who think they know it all but who don&#039;t have a clue. they&#039;re very good at making you feel older than you are until you remember you&#039;re actually in the prime of your life--even with all the gray hairs, technology ineptitude and grumpiness.

if you don&#039;t believe me now, you will in ten years!

		<description>Big Lebowski.

Though I&#039;m sure someone beat me to it.

Not the Eagles, man, I hate the fucking Eagles...

		<description>Jacob - The radio thing isn&#039;t age for me either. I&#039;ve never liked most pop radio, but since that Crazy Frog crap a few years ago it seems to be OK to play ring tones on FM radio.

Jud - Well done on the movie quote, Dude. I yell at the TV, especially these tabloid news programs. They drive me round the bend. 

Gypsy - Fortunately I don&#039;t have much hair, but I did notice some gray hairs in my beard. 

Courtney - If you&#039;re old, I&#039;m ancient. 

Blues - I&#039;m thinking about doing the same. 

NATUI - Exactly!</description>

		<description>Complaining can be cathartic.  It&#039;s like popping a zit.  Get all the nasty stuff out and let it heal.

And didn&#039;t that professor game come as an owl, too?  I think I had one.

As for the grumpy old man thing, I&#039;d go with curmudgeon.  It has a cooler vibe.</description>

		<description>Theresa - I&#039;m not feeling sorry for myself, just the youth of today ;)

FGIS - Will do. 

SSG - Glad to know I&#039;m still cool in some circles. 

JChev - Me too. I didn&#039;t think of using shiftless teens as security. Good call. 

Kitty - Fair enough. I actually don&#039;t mind. A lot of time, the international students call me Dr., it&#039;s just the irreverent Aussies. 

Cat - Blue Monday as a ringtone, I like it. 

OK, need to go teach the above mentioned undergrads.
