You Might Not Be A Baby Boomer If:

1) You can't imagine a lava lamp hooked up to a clapper

2) You don't "get" that 60 is the new 40

3) You hear the phrase "One giant leap for mankind" and think "slamdunk"

4) You think bringing 45s to a party requires a holster

5) You've not experienced the pride of replacing your 8-Tracks with cassettes

6) Your impression of the British invasion reminds you of Paul Revere, but not The Raiders

7) You can't draw a flow chart of the love hexagon that was Fleetwood Mac

8) That backward B in the ABBA logo creeps you out

10) You can't imagine having a "pet rock"

11) You didn't switch from baths to showers after seeing Jaws

12) You can hear the name Pope John Paul without thinking of George and Ringo

13) You had no science class friends who kept leaf collections in their sock drawers.

14) You think it's weird for a TV variety show host to kiss a puppet mouse goodnight

15) Your first graphics-friendly laptop wasn't an Etch A Sketch

16) You've never been on a flip-phone and been tempted to say "Beam me up, Scotty"

17) You don't remember being surprised that Cher sang the low parts

18) You don't remember the "bomb shelter" evolving into the "rec room"

19) You don't see the similarity of Hot Wheels from the 70s and real cars of today
