Addicted to sims

[AriaGirl77]

Ok, this entire thread cracks me up!

Ah... the age obsession of youth....

[blulightin5]

Nope. I beat you there. 14.
But I am always mistaken for 16 and 17.

That's funny. I'm soon to be 18 and people think I'm 13 (given if I'd shaved recently).

Just the opposite of me.

Awesome song!!  I LOVED Robert Palmer... I wanted to marry him! I thought he was so cool. I know I am dating myself, but now that I know I am not the oldest person here I don't feel so bad.  I always thought I was the Crypt Keeper in the Sims Universe........

I guess that means I'm older than you, simbacat.  Hehe.  I think our oldest so far is Grandpa Muleskinner.

I think my retired MIL would love The Sims - she's ADDICTED to farmville on Facebook.

[Simbacat]

Yep, but not by much. I just don't find too many gamers who can honestly say they LIVED the eighties instead of being born in the eighties. Ah, memories.........how I loved the eighties. I even liked the terrible clothes and there are days when I really miss my mall hair.

I'm young, but growing old and I think it's weird that I remember a time when not everybody had a computer. The computer revolution came 94 or 95 eventhough it felt like ages ago. I have memories starting from when I was two years old and onwards and I remember that time! Even 15-year olds nowadays missed those times completely and I'm among the youngest among those that only had TV! (this must trigger an outrage from everyone >50 years old here...)

Oh yeah, I remember that too. When I was in high school computers were just starting to be marketed and we had a TRS-80. That thing was hilarious when I look at it now. We also had the first Apple computer and it came with this parachute game that was really addictive.
I took a computer class back then and I had to write a program for a TRS-80. It was awful. I was supposed to make birds fly across a screen and I just could not get it right. I decided I hated computers and would never, ever have one. Well, here I am on computer number 6. Amazing how far we have come.

That's how I feel about the 1970s.  I miss them!!  I suffer from bouts of nostalgia sometimes.

When I was in high school, we learned to type on manual typewriters that had blank keys.  I'm serious.

Uh, would someone like to remind me how a thread about a song someone wrote about the sims to about age and technology and guessing Pam's age?

Maybe it became a little off-topic and it shouldn't really, but that's a discussion for ya'!

I'm afraid jmz95 is right.  Stay on topic!!  

Actually, we're discussing the possibility of having a special thread just for goofing off without having to stay on a particular topic.  Sort of a Babble Thread.

Well, unless this would be just too much, many forums have a "Chat" section, completely devoted to non-whatever the forum is about.

[Pam]

I think just a thread would be enough in our case.

[Swede1992]

I think that lots of people have some sort of 'off-topicism' in them and you can't escape from that. However, let's not get off-topic here discussing what to do with off-topic struff!
