Name Something You Really Like, But Marks You as An Old Man

[snackdaddy]

A really good shit.

Starts out with peace and quiet...maybe everyone is out of the house... ya sit down...maybe with a good book or a magazine (no phones).

Then, ya know, the kind that just slips out, you hear a big "PLOP", but no water comes back at ya and when you wipe, you see nothing, but fluffy toilet paper...

The perfect one is when it doesn't feel like its coming out sideways and when you wipe, its so clean you really didn't need to.

I use my phone and play a golf game in the bathroom. When I say "I'll be on the back nine", she knows exactly what that means. And I won't be available for a while. Heck, sometimes I don't even need to go but I go in there to get some "Me time" alone.

Hell yeah. I have a list of almost a hundred 70's tunes on my phone/iTunes to play in the car. Music today sucks, and I say that knowing full well that my parents said the same thing to me when I was growing up, but this new shit is a special kind of awful. It's vapid.

Except you're right and your parents weren't. I don't have a lawn, but....
I'm 72 and music has sucked since the 80's, (and maybe earlier).
(Although what do I know, always hated Steely Dan).

Aw c'mon. How can you hate Reelin' in the Years? Well, I guess you can, now that I think about it.

Certain songs are just very nostalgic for me, and that's one of them. Reminds me of living in Miami as a little kid and hanging out on the beaches with my mom. She always had one of those portable radios, and I remember that particular song coming on a lot.

Ginger Ale, Fresca, brandings on the ranch, pulling a grass seed stalk and chewing on it as I hike....

Westerns.

Grew up with Rawhide, Wagon Train, Maverick, Magnificent 7, and Eastwood spaghetti westerns, et al.
Last great western was Silverado, and that was 35 years ago.

Also Old Spice - still use it.

Silverado is my all time favorite movie. Great cast, great cinematography, action packed yet full of humor... Just a great movie. I never even heard about it being in the theaters. A good friend of the family told me about it. He was a stunt man and western artist that used to show with my mom (Walt LaRue) and it was his last movie. Good ole Uncle Walty.

As far as old fart movies to watch... Paint Your Wagon. Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin sing, fights in the mud, hijacking hookers, Uncle Walty as one of those hookers on the wagon (they were all stunt men on the distance shots).... I love that movie.

I read actual books. That's pretty old school...

Clearly, Beverly Jenkins has created a historical treatise against miscegenation in the 19th century. The setting must be in the Post Antebellum period, when cotton was scarce (due to a lack of manpower) and most men could not afford shirts...

This is extra funny for me.

My close friend Amber has a boyfriend who is much older than she is. Their tastes in music couldn't be any more different. She is usually in full control of what music is playing... even if she's at someone else's house.

It never fails. At some point late in the night... her boyfriend gets fed up with the music that's been playing and he will scream out STEELY DAN. She groans and makes a disgusted face at him. It's very funny to watch.

Anyway, since this has happened so much through the years it's become a thing for us. Now... and this could be done at any time day or night... someone will just scream out STEELY DAN out of the blue. Everyone always cracks up... it never gets old. LOL

Funny you mention that. Used to hang out with some older neighbors about five years ago. We were talking about music and Steely Dan. The two ladies that joined us that evening were like no woman likes Steely Dan! I personally like them Kid Charlemagne, Old School, Deacon Bless and the Fez are great.

But you mentioning that, maybe women really don't like Steely Dan!

all our friends are younger than us, but most of them hate Steely Dan..so its a running joke...except for when Hey Nineteen, a local tribute band is playing at the Ocean Mist...then in the middle of a set my buddy Jason will yell out "Little Feat", and the band will play Dixie Chicken, Fat man in a bathtub or some other Little Feat song...and Hey 19 instantly becomes the best bar band ever


God I miss bar bands

I was addicted to this game in the late 70's. I wish I still had one.

I am enjoying a long lost pleasure of reading the newspaper with a cup of coffee at hand. Feeling the heat retaining paper, as pages are flipped like on a lazy Sunday morning. Maybe young-uns still know this pleasure in big cities, but not so much in the small towns. "Free" news has been the norm for me the last 20 years and I didn't realize how much I don't like those sites. I've spent a pleasurable couple of hours perusing well written stories, essays at the WSJ. It's the online edition and so I miss the feel of paper and ink stained fingers, but that easy feeling settled upon me as I chose stories to read. I haven't felt that type of peaceful experience in years.

Yeah, I get that.

There was a time, mid 90’s... I’d get in my car and drive to corner store for daily paper on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

That was my routine way back then.

Now, I flip on iPad.

Actually its WGT Golf. Being retired I have all the time in the world to watch the video ads for free credits and buy better equipment. Just keep hitting replay while the phone is next to me. I'm doing it now as I type this. Haven't spent a dime on that game and I have the same equipment others have spent hundreds of dollars on.

Haha I never wore those..:only because I couldn’t afford them

My wife was initially attracted to me because of my butt in my 501s. Iused to ride 200-300 miles per week and ride hill climbs.

Not to brag, but... my butt was pretty amazing.
