5119 - Old


Two seenager explanations.





And I missed the turn anyway.



Not a good book, a great book.





Truth.




The good ol' days.

I am enjoying being a seenager MUCH more than I did my teen years. Much, much more. Despite its down sides, like skin which no longer fits and a recalcitrant and sometimes painful body. I care a lot less about how I look and what other people think too.

Seenager, I like it!

Good ones! 🤣😂

I LOVE being a Seenager!

Great book, indeed!

Reminds me of the question -- If you write a book "How to Fail" and you don't sell any copies, are you a success?

Mike, in the first picture that old slag still has quite a surprisingly good arse, i just wish the absurd old wanker hadn`t been in the image with her. The one with the road-signs is rather condescending towards silly old sods, and the old bint who fell fast-a-kip while reading the book is wearing a rather spiffing watch, it might even be a Vacheron Constantine!. In the last image the ludicrous old-git telling the story reminds me of John House-girl at the beginning of "THE FOG", John Carpenters still eminently watchable and cosy cult-item from 1979. And speaking of John Carpenter, the second half of the caption on the ice-cream van one is similar to something that Kurt Russell, as Snake Plissken, said at the end of another obscenely under-rated Carpenter cult-item from 1996 "ESCAPE FROM L.A.". BTW, what John said was hilarious, i wish i`d thought of that joke!.

Sue - You are absolutely right.

Mark - We don't have a choice, do we?

Peg - Next time you're getting low on TP, I'll send some to a tree near you.

Deb - Of course yo... WE DO!

John - You may see that in Saturday jokes! ... You will, I just added it.

LJ - I just wasted too much of my life looking at Vacheron Constantine watches. $26,000 for the cheap ones! $130,000 for the mid-range. And "call for price" for the ones I can't afford.

I recently read, "It was easier being 20 in the 70's than it is being 70 in the 20's"

The toilet paper thing still has me confused. Are we going to try to explain it to our great grandchildren? Like this: Yeah, hundreds of thousands of people were dying. At first, no one cared about wearing a mask or trying to contain the infection, but there were actual fights between people over toilet paper.

Mike said...

Ami - When I'm done with the 70's in the 20's I'll let you know. That's if I can remember the 20's in the 70's.

I don't think I'm going to have to worry about any great-grandchildren. I'll be long gone. But now that you mention it, I think I'll request to be buried with a six-pack of TP.

I've always said that if I could get all the old useless information out of my brain I could be so much smarter.

Kirk said...

When I get that first Social Security check, then and only then will I think about aging gracefully.

Mike said...

Kathy - No no, you have to tell the old stories at least 100 times before you die.

Kirk - I wish I would have waited until I was 70 to start taking SS. But you're betting on SS still being there compared to your 401K not crashing. Flip that coin and go for it!
