Ah, now, you see, it's actually the heat that bothers me, so I have 9 or 10 months a year where I'm at one with the climate, perfectly happy. I love winter.

My grandma is almost 70 and could kick my ass at most things.

The idea of not being able to control my own bodily functions is pretty horrible to me, but I think people's quality of life (in first-world economies, at least) will be extended exponentially further in coming years. Now if only there weren't so goddamn many of us.

[Toilet & Bowels]

well the upside to being an incontinent old man is that you can get a pretty young nurse to change your nappy.

[Savage Clone]

The depths of your perversion are truly unfathomable.

[Toilet & Bowels]

one of the things i kind of look forward to about being old is that everyone treats you like you're stupid and harmless but if you wanted to you could probably get away with murder (not literal murder, mind you)

And no, not like Mick Jagger. Maybe like Keef, but then again, anybody who falls out of coconut tree... ??

I don't look or act like a kid, and I'm glad. Although I think I think like one, and I definitely like much different music than most other people my age--no boxsets by the Eagles or Bad Company for me, thank you very much.

You definitely become more invisible, I can tell you that.

i am totally willing to bet money on that.

i love old people.

[Pookie]

I wasn't really happy until I reached 30. You grow more comfortable with who you are, what you look like, listen to etc. There's a lot less peer pressure. Actually that's not necessarily true, it's just easier to ignore.

I know. I just find Jagger's long decline into his twilight years rather amusing.

Jagger now seems to me to be much older than I am than he did to me when I was 20. (I've rewritten that sentence three times now, trying to make it make sense.) In actuality, he's like halfway between my age and my dad's. That seems weird, suddenly.

[Cantankerous]

thanks for basically letting me know that i will be even more evil and conceited in my old age, pookie.

[Pookie]

If you really were evil and conceited, you wouldn't know it, you sweetie.

there's a quote from almost famous, hold on let me find it...


If you think that Mick Jagger will still be doing the whole rock star thing at age fifty, well, then, you are sorely, sorely mistaken.

so did you think i was kidding all those times when i declared how fabulous i am? and when i told savage clone he needed to do those sit ups?

[Savage Clone]

Isn't Mick Jagger already past 60?

[Cantankerous]

yes. the movie is set in the 70s.

read: irony

[gmku]

64, I think. I'm 51. My dad's 77.

Jagger seems sooo old, and I seem sooo young.
