Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[Deeper Texan]

"Everybody" said I should watch Seinfeld, and I relented when the show was in reruns. Sort of watched one, unimpressed, said so. Oh that episode, you should watch it again because that wasn't one of the good ones, "everybody" said. Some while later at some hotel somewhere, flipped through and stopped for a moment on Seinfeld. It is the same not-so-good episode I saw the first time. Found something better to do.

I’ve watched a few episodes myself, but it never took for me. Several shows on that list. I like to think I have a sense of humor, but most sitcoms, just insult my intelligence. To each their own, but I’d rather watch documentaries, historical movies, etc..

I look back at all those shows that I never missed as a kid and they don’t hold up. One show is The Fugitive. Another is Mission Impossible...too many loose ends.

Agreed. I wouldn't watch Bonanza now if you paid me.

I did make it through the entire Leave it to Beaver series a couple of years ago.

Yup. pretty bad.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some cat videos to watch.

"What a lovely dress you're wearing today Mrs. Cleaver." Eddie Haskell was probably the most "real" character on that show.

Haven't seen those since they originally aired, way back then!

What do you mean?
June was confined to the kitchen.
Ward worked in an office and wore a suite and tie or blazer until bed time.
Wally was a football hero in school.
And Beaver grew up to sell drugs on the corner.

Heaving bosoms and bongs, at the least.

Reefer Madness is still one of the funniest movies we've seen.

Jerry Mathers and Tony Dow were well cast in Back to the Beach.

Here's my thing with jello now. After my surgery in 1974 (a bunch of my GI tract removed at the Madison VA hospital), they put me on a clear diet for a couple of weeks. The first meal had green jello. The second meal had orange jello. Every meal after that for the next two f'ing weeks? Red jello. Gag me with a spoon.

I've not eaten jello since.

In AA terms, I've been sober for 47 years...and counting.

Jello is part of the colonoscopy gig, too. Can't have red, orange, or purple. That leaves green and yellow. If someone asked me what the color green tasted like I would say green Jello. I refer to Jello by color not "flavor".

I'll save you the trouble: they all die in the end.

The clock is ticking on my next colonoscopy. Three years to go to my next intimate date with a few ducolax and Vitamin M (Miralax). Last time around I took an "incomplete" with the first exam. This was followed by a two day fast before banishment to purge-atory

The school gig went well last night! We had about 40 in the audience. The guest artist, Andre Hayward, was excellent! If you were able to watch the show last night, I would like to hear your comments.

Andre is hosting a clinic this afternoon at 1pm and will play again tonight with the big band at 7pm.

That looks good, mmmm......

 

[Eric Kjelstrom]

Maybe I'm not old enough yet? At 71 I really don't feel grumpy, and even the aches and pains are tolerable. Maybe next year.

 

[bobyoung53]

Amazing, I wish I had that guy's patience and dexterity, I just know something bad would happen if I tried that.

 

[bobyoung53]

It's been at least this long since I've had jell-o of any kind. Think I'll keep my track record intact.

I loved Wheaties when I was a kid, I still like them. Not a big jello lover though.

Grumpy Old Fart. You don’t have meet all the criteria. Old Fart is close enough.
