Thatās pretty cool. And I guess youāre one of the few people who could successfully use shipoopi in a sentence, and you know exactly which state Gary is in.
I donāt have any special involvement, I just heard it (on the LP) about fifty times while I was growing up. And I know what my mental soundtrack will be for today.

I can remember when my phone number was a WORD plus 5 digits! And calling long distance meant dialing ā0ā and telling the operator where you wanted to call and they would call you back when theyād made the connection for you.
About a month ago I was watching a couple of Nick & Nora movies (the Thin Man series) and there was an off-hand comment during one of their parties which resulted in the camera stopping for a second to register the subtle bug-eye look on Nickās face before continuing to pan around the room. The comment? A drunk-to-the-point-of-sentimentality man asked Nick if he could call his mother, to which of course Nick said yes, and then you hear the man saying āhello operator, Iād like to call Californiaā. Back in those days (before my time!), a 5 minute call from one coast to the other could cost nearly as much as a monthly rent payment. And now, most people watching that movie wouldnāt even realize the joke.
I am old because when I say āermahgerdā, Iām not trying to join in with the gersberms meme. Iām just complaining about how my GERD is flaring up again. Pass the omeprazole, please.
My wife explained when I finally turned 30, that unlike all the previous fretful birthday aging crises I had been through beforeā¦ This was actually the one that counted. 30 was actually old. To everyone under 30, I was old. Everyone over 30 was already old.
