Two misspelled signs saying “YEILD TO BIKES” were removed from a street in Sparks, Nevada, after Keith Olbermann made fun of them on his show. Queried former president George W. Bush, “so what does Olbermann have against bikes?”

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were on SNL tonight. Not to say the band is getting old, but on their bus they have pin-up posters of Betty White.

There is a new Facebook group “I am so old I actually dialed using a rotary phone.” How about another version – “I am so middle-aged I actually remember what a rotary phone is?”
Or, “I am so old I remember when the only options for watching a television show were watching it live, or taking a chance on a VCR.” (Just as well there are many options these days, because the only people young enough to consistently know how to program a VCR, have moved on to other methods.
