I'm with you, but technically there are no new iPods.
A few days ago, I mistakenly referred to my own 17-year-old or so gen 5.5 iPod (which I love) as a "Walkman" and I was mocked relentlessly by both my son and my wife.
I'm a dinosaur.

No apologies necessary. But your comment makes me grateful that I work with no one but myself. But truth be told, I'm pretty annoying, too. Even to myself.
C.Rorrer
No. And honestly, I'm afraid to google it. Did that happen to your pipe, perchance?
C.Rorrer
Ha… I typed i P h o n e. For some reason spellcheck changes it to iPod without the spaces.
Bought one because alarm clocks wouldn't wake up my kids for school.?No. And honestly, I'm afraid to google it. Did that happen to your pipe, perchance?

Dropping a pipe, especially a favorite pipe, is definitely a moment.
I can’t find the photo, because I’m lazy, but it’s of me in a burned out building with trusses bowed by both water weight and structural collapse.
The photo is awesome because about a minute after the photo, the entire truss system gave way. I used up another of my nine lives and ruined a perfectly good pair of pants.

Back in 1963 I had my first Castello and my first car ('58 MG-A). Like a dumbass, I placed the pipe up on the dash and forgot it was there. Later I took off in the car with the top down and the first corner I rounded my eye just caught a glimpse of the pipe sliding across the dash and out the car like a rocket. I actually heard it hit the pavement. Oh, crap, $25 down the drain! I turned around the went back expecting the worse, but to my great surprise there she was on the side of the street against the curb and without the scratch. I still smoke this pipe all the time and to this day she looks the same as she did when she was a year old. Not even any bite marks on the stem. And yes, I do have teeth. 
I did, as a matter of fact, and without giving details beyond that the "other" person was a woman it turned out spectacularly well.
Haha, yeah, you work with someone for 12 hours a day, you are bound to get on each other’s nerves. I’m sure he’s cussing under his breath about me.No apologies necessary.

The alert on your phone when it’s 2022 and you just screened the person and instead of a text they left a voicemail.

Any pipe that survives that is definitely a keeper! I wouldn't mind a spin in an MGA right now, either. I'm a bit younger, but when I was 18 or so I had a '69 MGBGT that I loved. Drove that little thing everywhere until it got totaled in an accident. I then moved on to an Austin Healey Sprite that was probably the most hateful car I've ever owned, to this day.
Lots of memories, though. Mostly of breaking down and having to walk somewhere.

So did I, in this case, two of them.I love a happy ending.

I could not agree more. Oh the peer pressure!I'd like to think so. The definition of "vaccination" seems to have changed a bit from what it used to mean, though. But I digress ...
