Old Fart

Try opening the drunk tank door in your local Jail Facility on a Sunday morning after the county fair. Something about the mixture of butt, puke, body odor, sweaty feet and ogre breath that can open ones sinuses like the Detroit to Windsor Tunnel.

I know what you mean old bean!!!! It does get tough..... I am just getting back to building a routine. I was running 3-4 miles a day until the tendons in my feet began giving me hell, then the elbows required surgery.... Youth is wasted on the young, eh? Screw it, there's always plenty of beer.

Strange Thread..... Ever wonder why beaver doesn't taste like chicken?

I dunno about you guys, but I'm knocking on the door of 41 & even though there's still an 18 year old inside me trying to get out (don't even think about it Danbo!), every morning, there is an odd looking middle aged gentleman in the bathroom mirror - he never used to be there, I dunno where he came from, but he's an ugly bugger.

Sorry Jim, but one has to admire your ability to maintain such enormous tension on your sphincter muscles. I'd suppose the cramping must be horrible.

I've got you both beat, nearing the 43 mark faster than a breaking wind......

Well, Engelbert Humperdinck says that life only really begins after 30. So don't worry my men I have to wait 12 years for my life to begin!! (I live by the rules and words of E.H., yes)

I just turned 47... and I have reverted by to my teens... so says my 26 year old son, who now thinks he's the parent in the household...  So I run away every once in awhile... and I still prefer to follow my favorite rock bands...(ran away to Scotland and England for the month of Nov. last year to travel with Carl Palmer's band.. until his guitarist got tinuitis and ruined all my fun...(Sorry Shaun!)  Then flew back to England this April to see Dave Gilmour play at the RAH.. then took a week off from work to travel with Keith Emerson's band a few weeks ago.  Now that was like old times...

I've added an extra chin since my teens...and not unlike some of you guys.. I've lost a few hairs.. of course I don't know what the actual color is now... I never wait that long to find out... and I change hair colors.. a few times a year...

But here's recent shot of me with Rick Wakeman from last month... I atleast aged better than he did...

Along with Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, and Wayne Newton, one of the most likely artists to come to my neon neck of the woods :)

...or you were talking about the obscure German composer?
