Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[El Güero]

 

[GonePlaid]

Our group is called "The Treasure Coast Driftwoods"[Driftwoods for short]. When we do a Drifters song I tell the audience that since our names are similar, people might get us confused with "The Drifters", but there's an easy way to tell us apart(pause.......). They're older.

Solid wood? Dayum! I bet the sound didn't carry very far.(I know , I'm a smartarse)

The sound didnt carry...I carried. The sound was along for the ride.

 

[beans-on-toast]

Speaking of pop drinkin triggered this. All the notes in all the right places.

 

[GonePlaid]

The sound didnt carry...I carried. The sound was along for the ride.

I just figgered it'd be like pounding a tree trunk.

On the plus side, my doctor told me that I need to eat more deep fried food. At least that’s the way I understood it.

My doctor told me, "Don't eat fatty." I asked, "Burgers and pizza?" He said, "No. Don't eat, Fatty."

 

[GonePlaid]

My doctor told me, "Don't eat fatty." I asked, "Burgers and pizza?" He said, "No. Don't eat, Fatty."

Ah, yes, the importance of proper punctuation.

I just figgered it'd be like pounding a tree trunk.

I'm very trunk now.

This is a Tal(l) order, but timely Step up, 'You.'

At last visit, doctor says a glass of wine is fine. And in truth that's around my limit as I can see another year closing in.

Speaking of old

 

[murphy]

I wish I could drink...but never reacted well after one drink...woozy head and withdrawn..believe I have an allergy to alcohol
Now with all my meds...forget it

Same here. I drank my share (and someone else's) while I was drinking. I have nothing against it, it just isn't for me any longer.

Same boat here but pretty recently....Crazy meds list means I've had to stop.....I loved a drink......Old sucks!

Merry Christmastime, all you old grumps! Well, we're barreling down the home stretch now. Busy times. Occassional deep thoughts in between frantic doings.

Today my daughter, mother of two of my teenaged grandsons, showed me what she had just bought for "Ugly Sweater Day" at work. I was, at first, bowled over with laughter! Then, on a deeper level, I was very proud of her, the woman she's become, and the joy she's brought Mrs. Dog and me.

Merry Christmas to all.

There’s an Elfin Road in Bristol, UK and recording studios nearby.

Ah, yes, the importance of proper punctuation.

My favorite example comes from Cole Porter:
- What is this thing called love?
- "What is this thing?" Called Love.
- What is this thing called, Love?
- What is this thing called? Love?

 

[GwenOnBass]

I want this ugly sweater.

[Fat Freddy]
