Title: Geting old
Post by: Getback on January 06, 2009, 09:37:10 AM
I'll be 55 this month. Can't tell you how many times in the last 2 days where some one crosses my sights and I haven't pulled the trigger fast enough and then they almost get away. Sure don't know what I was waiting for when I think back. Maybe for that picture perfect shot. So folks, make an old man happy and stay still.

You know your getting old when you think your on someones "6" and you end up HO'ing them. :O

I was watching "Scarface" yesterday, the scene in the end at the restaurant. "Is this all there is Mano", "Before you know it your 50","you got a bag for a belly". :lol

All you can do is laugh. That and enjoy the grandkids. Happy B-day. :salute

To all the young guys

You will know when your starting to get old because you start to do old person stuff, like carrying a box of Tums in your pocket instead of condoms because your more likely to get an upset stomache than get laid.

My New Gaming Chair!

Itunes that was very nice flying on your part both times. It was that fight with you that inspired this thread. You gave me a full silouette and for some dumb reason I didn't pull the trigger or I pulled it late. Not sure which.
That was later repeated in another fight. Doh!

Thanks everyone for the wishes and the great humor!  :salute

Happy Birthday Getback. (55 in April myself) Just remember " Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill"

Sucker 'em in close, force an overshoot, and blast'em.

Best thing you can say about getting older is that it beats the alternative......
