Subject: RE: BS: Becoming a Saga Lout From: Liz the Squeak Date: 30 Apr 08 - 03:57 AM When my father in law died, we 'inherited' his car. It's a big Toyota Yaris Estate - short but big, a cherry red box with a low slung body. I love it, but it's so obviously an old person's car, great for the arthritic and careful. I drive it around London and take great joy in seeing people's faces when they pull up alongside me at the traffic lights and hear Meatloaf, Status Quo or Jez Lowe blaring out of the stereo... and it's even better when I see their faces in the rear view mirror as I tear away from the lights! So often springs to my lips the famous line from the film of 'Fried green tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe'... "Let's face it girls, I'm older than you and have better insurance!" LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Becoming a Saga Lout From: Richard Bridge Date: 30 Apr 08 - 08:19 AM I don't want a purple dress and red hat thank you, but I do have an electric mandolin and a metal distortion pedal that will be exercised this weeken. |
Subject: RE: BS: Becoming a Saga Lout From: Rapparee Date: 30 Apr 08 - 09:06 AM Hell, I've talked the Supervisors at work, most of whom are either over 60 or damned close to it, to form an Olympic-style pistol team and when we're reasonably good we're going to challenge and out-shoot the Police Department supervisors. And we're going to wear our Library raid jackets when we do, too! (Safety, I hasten to add, is paramount. There will be literally hours of study before they even pick up a pistol and even more before they send a bullet downrange.) Then we're going to send an article to "American Libraries" where it won't be published. There is nothing like being older to become...eccentric? Odd? Or is it simply a new perspective on enjoying life? |
