Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"
- Thread starter B-string

Holy s%!#, it's after 8:00. Gotta take my teeth out and get to bed.
It's about time we have a club. I'm so sick of all these young punks with their light weight cabs and heads, too lazy to lift a few pounds. When I was their age I'd push an 810 on casters to and from the gig - Uphill - BOTH WAYS!
So gimme a damn number.

Okay but you ain't a real man unless it was also snowin' and you were barefoot.

Just have rocks now, but I count the weeds growing up through them. Don't remember seeing you get grumpy around here Charlie.
This is probably as good a place as any to mention
No, you can not try out my bass. Ever.
You can not borrow any of my amps or cabinets.
Do not set your drink, car keys, drum key, wallet, coiled up cables, sheet music, or anything else on my amp or cabinet.
Do not touch my vocal mic or get your nasty breath anywhere near it.
You may not get up and play or sing with our band. Come back when there is a jam night.
And no, I dont want a number. Im way too grumpy for that. And yes, stay off of my lawn.

Just turned 60 and feeling it. What the heck was I thinking when I went out and bought 3 old amp heads totaling about 200 lbs. Number please.
I went to my first game at Lambeau Field in 1967. Four fourth down conversions in one drive? Wow. It was a good day.
Nobody walks on my lawn twice. Nobody. I drive the speed limit, use coupons and am an AARP member - I like the hotel discounts. Nobody would ever think about parking in my spot at the office. My wife looks great in her 100% grey hair. I can cook Thanksgiving dinner without breaking a sweat. I still use a RCA VTVM and need readers to do circuit board work.

And the snow was six feet deep in the blazing sun. What's this country coming to when people can't even be grumpy properly. My amp weighs more than I do.
I don't know what we are grumpy about. Does being cranky qualify? If not, I'm a crank and will just be grumpy on my own.
I'm 66 and I polish my car with Depends so count me in....
You know you're old when everyday you get out of bed it feels like you're totally hung over....but you haven't had a single drink the night before...
I wear my slippers everywhere because I can't bend down that far to take 'em off........
