You Know You Are Old When

[jyoutz]

I would bet your father and/or grandfather wouldn't understand why you would let it grow long enough to have a pony tail... and probably wanted to take a pair of scissors to cut it off.

George Washington sported a ponytail, as did many of our founders.

So what's your point? Fads change with time, what was old is now new again.
Every generation does something a bit different; while their elders mock them.
Short hair was in vogue during the 40s and 50s
By the 60s and 70s long hair was a sign of rebellion, while the wearer's elders mocked them, just as people do the hairstyles of today's generation among other things. (Tattoos...)
"Man buns" were worn by Egyptian pharoahs and Japanese Samurais... now the style is coming around again.

Intolerance is the biggest challenge this nation faces.

Except skinny jeans on men. That should never be tolerated, in any time or place.

Just was making the same points you did. That hair fashions come and go.

Also speedo suits, as long as we are on the subject of things which should never be tolerated.

Never said those vehicles were better, just that I liked the floor vents.

Never said you ever said that never did you ever say that never...?
Just so many people do say that and we're mostly older here, not everyone here, but lots of the guys, maybe some women too although they would never admit it ever...

Agree 100%. Apparently some here have way too much free time to be able to worry about someone else's fashion choices.

Does a man bun really look any more stupid than a combover, cheap toupee, or any man over 65 who colors his hair?

I dunno, depends on the person. Some can pull it off, but agree most don't. Personally, I could think of a lot of better things to do with the money it would cost to get all than ink.

These days we are labeled intolerant simply because we dont like something out of personal or moral choice.
Not liking something is not being intolerant. Telling me that I cant disagree with you is intolerant.
Ive done tons of things in the past that I dont agree with now. Intolerant of myself, no just smart enough to learn from my stupidity.
There can be a difference of opinion regardless of what the mainstream says.
Somebody help me down from this box.

AND a hog ring stuck in the nose!

AND a hog ring stuck in the nose!

The absolute worst.

 

[Jstpssng]

The absolute worst.

I beg to differ. The ring in the lip is worse.

 

[newbury]

I beg to differ. The ring in the lip is worse.

The ring in any body part when it gets hung up an immovable object, like a fence.

I beg to differ, rings in eyebrows are the absolute worst.

Yes it does.
But I enjoy everyone of them I see. It makes me laugh out-loud.

I remember the travel ad where the wife sees her husbands combo-over blow up and envisions a cockatiel bird, next thing you know they are on a Hawaiian vacation
