Day 10: Old by Taylor

I like to play games of all sorts, and have always enjoyed going to flea markets or garage sales/yard sales to find older games. Sometimes you find some awesome crazy games like Hoopla from the 50's, and other times you find crap games like this one.

Here's how the Muppet Show game works: every player has 2 character pieces and a set piece that they have to move from their start position to their end position. to move, you spin a double spinner and then look up what you spin in the "script", which tells you exactly how and what to move. and thats it. But man, its crazy, just like it was in the 70s! The best part about the game is the art, as there are a couple of fun classic shots (like the box itself) as well as 70s muppet cartoon drawings. It's probably ok if you don't play this game, unless your this guy, then it might be required.

I didn't think I'd post anything Muppet, at least this early in the game, but this was a backup to my original shot. unfortunately I couldn't find my original copy of this for the photo, so it wasn't as fun.

This ring is at least 161 years old, it has been passed down in Bill's family for several generations. It also happens to be my engagement ring; and I am honored to wear it!

I currently work at New Hampshire Hospital. It has changed a lot since it was created in 1842. This is one of the many old hospital buildings that are no longer utilized on campus. Though, I am happy to say that many of these old buildings have been retrofitted for other uses such as State Department offices. And, we do have a newer, more comfortable hospital for current patients.

The first thing I thought of for "old" was a tree. Then I thought of my shoes. They're probably older than this tree. Here's a picture of both.

Today we got a new washer and dryer.  It was the dryer that broke, but since the washer is really old I decided to replace them both.  This washer is the same kind of washer I had when I was 6 or 7 and one of the members of the hair band Cinderella came over and fixed it.  (I rememeber being freaked out because I had never seen a guy look like that)  Elle and I were messing around with the magnetic letters and I asked her what is the the washer older than.  Her response "Barney" was correct.  Barney first aired in 1992.  This washer is from at least 1986.

I work in the renovated mills in the lovely city of Manchester, where they have taken various objects that used to make the mill run and turned them into "art." This item is so old that it isn't even labeled, it merely sits outside our main office and judges us all. I believe it is some sort of wheel or cog that once helped make textiles, or perhaps shoes. Whatever it did, it contributed to the river behind the mill smelling eight ways from Sunday on hot days. And it is old.

Gifted unto me by my grandma. They are copper and ivory, originated from Thailand, and are 150 years old. The pendants are about the size of the fingernail of my index finger - the figures are twin saints. You can see the copper "greening" on bits. Very cool and I'm totally afraid of wearing them.

This photo is my grandfather holding up a photo of himself in the army, aged 18. He is 91 now. That be old by any reckoning. He sometimes gets irritated when he can't clearly remember little details in stories things that happened to him over 65 years ago. I tell him that I can't remember little details in stories of things that happened to me LAST year and that I hope I am as lucid as him when (if) I get to be 91.

I like your old stuff better than your new stuff.

(You will probably need to click on this one)

For this one I opened up "the archive". I have a large plastic tub full of old posters, trading cards, comics, news articles, ticket stubs, flyers from shows and stuff I've written. I lock it all away in the hopes that one day when I'm old and dumb I can show someone and they'll give a shit. Shudder in fear, future grandchildren.
