When you post on this board, if you're 55, you're old.

Then I'm an old coot. I'll be 61 in a couple of months.

But are you grumpy?

Since I've quit boozing I'm sometimes grumpy.

that happens to me almost every night I quit boozing, too

so are you saying you walk around with only one side of your shirt tucked into your pants

When you wake up early on the weekends.

this non sequitur response is both perfect and thwarts grumpiness. ok, thwarts grumpiness briefly.

I would rock both the Gretzky and Kittles when I was a kid and occasionally today when I'm feeling a little nostalgic.

I'm old because I wake up early on the weekends. And I'm perfectly happy to do so. None of the old people I know sleep in.

Often I'll go to bed at 10 PM then wake up at 2 or 3 AM then walk around the house until I make breakfast.

Perfectly normal. People used to slept in 2 chunks with a period of wakefulness around 2am until the more regimented schedule of the industrial revolution.

curveball asks: "how old do you have to be to be considered an old man?"

curveball did NOT ask: "what time do you need to wake up on a weekend to be considered an old man?"

yet you replied: "when you wake up early on the weekends"

you are old, not because you wake up early on the weekends, but because you answer not another person's questions to you, but questions you have rattling around inside your own head. And I'm perfectly happy to say so.

Doc just answered the question rattling around in his head, "when do you know you're an s-head"

When you italicize your Latin phrases on a sports message board?

I try & try & try to class up the joint & this is this the thanks I get

harumph

You can't get no satisfaction

I've had two pickup trucks over the last 26 years. The first one I bought new and drove 15 years. This second one I bought used and is still hanging around. I still curse both of them regularly with all the trouble I had with them.
