    I sent this to my buddy.

    He didn’t get it.

    I feel old.

      You’re not old. You didn’t see TNG on its first run from Farpoint to All Good Things.

      Me? I remember when there were only two Star Treks and one was a cartoon sequel to the other.

          I’ll see your back and raise you arthritis in my fingertips.

                Oh boy … comparing age pains!!! My favorite game!

                Arthritic pain so severe I can’t raise one or both arms… and it comes and goes depending on the weather.

        I’m 31. I grew up listening to cassettes. It wasn’t until '03 that I got my first CD player.

        It took longer than I’d like to admit to get the joke.

        I remember when there was just one. I wrongly dismissed the cartoon as not real Star Trek for a very long time, I never realized how good they really were.

          I’m old, but I was young enough to enjoy them as a kid in the 1980s. 2 or 3 years before TNG premiered (I was 10 in 1987), Nickelodeon started showing TAS reruns.
