BS: Hopping mad

While reading my morning ,paper I saw there was a new definition of "old age": the age at which one can no longer hop....
After watching me hop round the breakfast table, first on one leg then on the other, She who must be Obeyed felt that was clear proof of premature senility!

Well, it's an opinion, sure, but she may be biased. IS she qualified? :D

What about skipping? I can still skip (and sometimes do). And I mean with my feet. I can also still skip boring projects, skip stones, skip ahead in the story, and skip out.

Surely a skip is an educated hop?

Which really comes first? A hop, skip OR a jump?

Bah-bah-bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah
Bah-bah-bah-bah. bah-bah-bah-bah, at the hop!

Well, you can rock it you can roll it
You can stop and you can stroll it at the hop
When the record starts spinnin'
You *chalypso* when you chicken at the hop
Do the dance sensation that is sweepin' the nation at the hop

Ah, let's go to the hop
Let's go to the hop, (oh baby)
Let's go to the hop, (oh baby)
Let's go to the hop
Come on, let's go to the hop

Well, you can swing it you can groove it
You can really start to move it at the hop
Where the jockey is the smoothest
And the music is the coolest at the hop
All the cats and chicks can get their kicks at the hop
Let's go!

Let's go to the hop
Let's go to the hop, (oh baby)

I can hop on my left leg. Right knee is iffy. Does that mean I am halfway to senility or middle-aged?

I tied to hop on my right foot a few days ago when I hurt my left foot & managed a few very, very short & unbalanced hops, but I had to put my foot down to progress!!

Maybe if I'd hurt my right foot I could have made it one-footed to the first aid stuff in the bathroom ...

or maybe not ...

Get hopping mad if you want, but I don't think you have a leg to stand on.

I like that definition! I can hop on either foot, I can run..(well..not Marathons, but maybe a block..), I can jump over walls up to about 3 feet high, I can still get into lotus posture and I can climb ladders and clean gutters! (3 days ago!)

I just turned 69....
sadly, I am not allowed to stand on my head any more...though I 'could'. Got this pinched nerve in the neck.

WHen I was a child, a few good hops could always brighten my day. In my youth, it took a whole case of hops to really do it.

There's open topped double decker buses go round here in historic Chester during the tourist season with the emblazoned slogan:

'Hop on - Hop off'

I've always felt this to be offensive to monopeds & w/chair users

But monopeds would be hopping anyway.

There should be a number of hops specified in the old-age test. I mean, it's a lot easier to lift one foot off the ground and then make ONE quick little hop than it is to bounce up and down on one foot for multiple repetitions.

I can hop once or twice, maybe a half-dozen or so times, but wouldn't want to go much longer. I think I'd be able to quit, nd would quit, before I'd lose my balance completely and fall on my face.

I got me one of them there lamps that turns on or off when you snap your fingers.

Had to get rid of it.

Every time I'd stand up the crackin' and poppin' in all the joints made the light go out.
