You know you are getting old when:
I know! They have an "Oldies" station here and it plays "70s, 80s and 90s"... Are you kidding me??!! Now I remember when we had like two stations that played "oldies" that were 50's and 60's. Then we also had a couple of stations on AM radio that played "oldies" on Sunday. But c-mon!- Rats Rateye

I agree. I miss my partners... at least the good ones. But I couldn't imagine dealing with all of the crap that's going on now. What a mess.- Rats Rateye

What do you do for Living?
Well, I'm a medically retired LEO, who was severely injured by a very large and extremely dangerous... I'll just say he was a "villain who was involved with an extracurricular group of associates.". And though we won the fight, I lost the war and the career that I had worked for my entire life...- Rats Rateye

Your first job
I got a job as a "Carpet Cutter" working for "Crazy King Konsell" who was known as "The Carpet King of Milwaukee". It was my job to locate, measure, cut, roll and tape the selected carpet lengths chosen by the customers. Now in case folks aren't familiar with carpet, the rolls are "crazy" heavy...- Rats Rateye

You know you are getting old when:
I was going through the drive-through at McYuck and ordered a burger with no cheese. But as the window opens one of the young guys yell,"Hey! Who ordered this quarter pounder, no cheese?!". That's when I heard one of the little punks yell his scathing reply, "I don't know dude! Some OLD GUY at...- Rats Rateye

Your First Car....
A VW Bus is still sharp. My buddy had one years back and we all used to all pile into that thing. Probably fit as many people as my Plymouth. Good times.- Rats Rateye

Your First Car....
This is a very difficult subject for me because of how much I loved this car... When I got out of the ARMY in 1992, I came across a 4 door, MIST green, 58 Plymouth Savoy. Everyone called it "Elvis Green". It had a flat-head 6 and push-button transmission. She had manual breaks, manual steering...- Rats Rateye

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
This afternoon I stumbled across this short film with The Little Rascals. Now as we all know, these short films were made years before our time. However! I fondly remember running home from school with my friends so that we could catch the reruns and other shows. And though, I'm not sure if it...- Rats Rateye

You guys are terrible. You keep bringing up all of these great movies on TCM... I just don't know that I can afford YET ANOTHER cable provider. Isn't it like $60 dollars a month? Grrr. :(- Rats Rateye

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I completely agree. Now I served in the ARMY and I've always liked a good action or more so historical movie. But now that I'm older and a veteran and seeing some of these historically based movies... Wow. I can't even imagine what prior generations went through.- Rats Rateye

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Having been raised watching all the classics, I always loved watching Fred and Ginger (In addition to others) glide across the floor. I even took some lessons on and off before I joined the ARMY. And one of the best lessons I learned as a young man is that unlike the tough guys that just stand...- Rats Rateye

I just saw the movie "Come And See"......
Holy cow! I don't want to give it away. But in case you haven't seen it, it's a movie filmed from the vantage point of a young Belarusian boy who is swept up in the horrors of WWII. Needless to say, I had to go and watch something more uplifting after.- Rats Rateye

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Though not a very pleasant movie by any means, I am however a huge history buff. So I took a chance and watched the WWII movie "Come And See". Without going into much, I'll just say that it's a very intense movie from the perspective of a young Belarusian boy, who is caught up in the horrors of...- Rats Rateye
