OK, so I'm at my local Gas & Sip stocking up on cigs & nuts. They have what I want so I say to the clerk "ah wunnerful,wunnerful" in my best german accent. The clerk says what's that? I say it's what Lawrence Welk used to say on his TV show. "Who's Lawrence Welk" the guy says. I explain that he was the Champagne Music King in the 50s & 60s. i ask him if he's ever heard of the Lennin Sisters. Nope "I was born in 85 man".

I gotta stop saying "ah wunnerful, wunnerful". It dates me too much. Hell, even I made fun of Lawrence Welk when I was a kid, but there was one TV station in my folks home town back then and it was the only program on.

I know what you mean.I had to fashion a new personal library of more modern sayings to help me interact with my young coworkers.[both of the guys on my crew,put together,aren't as old as I am] I get them rolling though,when I answer my company cell phone, Morpheus? in my best Keanu voice.

Yeah, I keep getting into trouble from my wife for making old people jokes, she reckons I'm the funniest person I know.

The sad thing is I enjoy watching the kids faces as the hold back on saying what they think "silly old prick, put him in a home".

Sal,I've been growing my beard for a couple months now, it's all gray,and been wearing my 1973 3/4 Shoei,all in the hopes that those young cops will see an old guy on an old bike [hey,my grandpa had a Triumph] and overlook the obvious lack of any kind of safety shit,,,blinkers,speedo,horn,fenders,,,,,

I'll ask, Who's Gumby? I think I may be too old to know him. Was he on TV in the 50's? Shit this is sad.

I just bought two CDs today for my Cabrio's 6 disk changer. One was published in 66, the other in 82. Both of em rock & roll. I may be old, but my music makes me feel young. If the Rolling Stones can go platinum in 07, I can in 2010.

My dad at 85 used to tell me "there's NO guarantee you'll ever make it this far". The kids will figure that out soon enough, eh Blue J?
