So this afternoon Pam and I were playing "do you remember" with our twenty-onethree year old temp. It was hilarious in an "oh God I'm old" sort of a way.
Some of the things we hit her with:
rotary telephones
Peter Frampton
Leif Garrett
"The Man From Uncle"
"Petticoat Junction"
LPs

So Pam and I have decided that every Friday we're going to give her a quiz. Suggestions?
She's got a great sense of humor about this, so I'm trying to come up with fun things.

She may even be too young for the A-Team.

Husband and I laughed hysterically watching an NCIS rerun last year where Kate asks Gibbs what Ducky looked like as a younger man and Gibbs responds "Ilia Kuryakin". The girls looked confused.
