When I was your age...

[Saeryen 299]

For this game, you come up with a "in my day" or "when I was your age" relating to what the previous poster said. For example, as a response to "in my day, we couldn't brush our hair" you could put "well, in my day, we didn't even HAVE hair!" I'll start.

 

When I was your age, there were no computers. We had to make RPG games by hand!

In my day we carved the sprites out of Ivory soap bars.

In my day, we didn't have Ivory soap! We had to use soap made of shed giraffe hair which made us smell like giraffes!

Back in my day giraffes were longneckers. The army began using them when all the horses got gout. The Kaiser wasn't  going to overthrow himself. We had to make do with what we had. Boy, I tell ya those longnecks were feisty. It was almost impossible to tame them. They liked to spit on people they didn't like, and they could hock a loogie half a mile upwind. I managed to tame mine by offering it some cabbage which at the time we called super slaw. Of course, no one knew that but me. Anyways, I named my longneck Shorty on account that he had the shortest neck of all the. Everyone made fun of me for having a short necked longnecked, but the joke was on them. On one mission the Kaiser had his troops set up trip wires high up on buildings to clothesline our longnecks. We lost many good men that dell I tell ya what. Shorty was just short enough to clear the wires unscathed. We took out fifteen of the Kaiser's best men that day.

In my day, memes didn't exist. It was rather boring.

Back in papa's day, we made memes out of the rocks in the beaches.

Back in MY day when I was about 150 years old I had to change little toddler Lonequeso's diapers after he had an accident at the giraffe petting zoo because he got so freaked out when one of them licked him with its big purple tongue.

Back in my day we every other person was an adventurer. There were no 9-5 jobs. We went on quests. We fought demons and monsters and great beasts. Of course now, swords and shields have been replaced by guns and body armor. No one uses magic anymore I think we all know why. Anti-magic legislation. Damn Roosevelt. On one such quest I fan afoul of a witch who cast a spell on me that turned me into an infant. Luckily, before my mind and body completely reverted, I tossed a flask of water at the witch, melting her. I probably wouldn't have survived long. Luckily, I was taken in by a dyslexic werefox.

Back in my day we only raised offspring of different species because we liked the challenge!  (And because we'd offered up our own biological offspring to the White Walkers.)

[Saeryen 299]

Back in my day, every human was raised by a pack of wolves! It's because we were all secretly werewolves but the government hid it from us.

[Rikifive 3,411]

Back in my day we didn't even have wolves! =O

[xoferew 261]

And we didn't have proper ponies, we had hyracotherium!

[Squires 35]

Back in my day, animals never existed. And neither did the Earth, or the universe!

[Rikifive 3,411]

Back in my day you didn't even know about universe.

[AzureBurstKing 72]

back in my day... I don't know who I am!

Back in my day, people had better memory. These days everything is automated by these computers and people are lazy.

Back in my day, some jackass thought it would be a good idea to develop a sentient computer program. Before long it was launching our own nukes at us. Nukes were super powerful bombs and missiles a different jackass developed. When they went off, the radiation slowly killed everything around. All the world's military was crippled almost instantly. We were forced into hiding to escape and try to mount a resistance. The AI program known as Skynet built an immense army of machines to hunt us down and try to kill us. It's most insidious creation was an infiltration unit known as a terminator. They were designed to look like us; programmed to act like us. We quickly realized that the resistance was a losing battle. Luckily someone decided to invent something that was actually useful, a device capable of sending someone back in time. I volunteered to venture back to this date and time to try and destroy Skynet before it becomes operational. I'm am searching for someone. Sarah Connor. She is vital to the resistance's success. If anyone knows her whereabouts PM me. I believe she is in grave danger.

When I was your age we made our time machines out of DeLoreans.

[lonequeso 1,921]

When I was  your age DeLoreans were extinct. We overhunted them . Very sad

When I was your age we told those over-hunting young whippersnappers to get the heck off our gosh-danged consarned lawn!

[lonequeso 1,921]

When I was your age everyone smoked pot. It was illegal, but no one cared. We were far too stoned to worry about kids being on our lawns. Half the time they impaled themselves with lawn darts anyway. Blood is really good for the lawn and the trees. Our lawns were far more lush than todays sorry excuses for grass.

When I was your age, everyone smoked literal pots! They would set fire to cooking pots and flowerpots for thrill, and thus there was a massive famine and many less places for flowers to grow in spring.

[xoferew 261]

When I was your age we didn't have seasons like Spring.  The earth hadn't started moving yet.
