23 Aug 09 - 10:00 AM (#2706589) Subject: BS: Time to say 'Too Old'! From: 3refs I had the chance to play in a 8 team baseball tourney with my two sons yesterday. I pitched 3 games. First time the three of us ever played(or refereed) anything together. Believe me when I say, the time has come to admit I'm too old to play with the 20 year old kids! The nice thing about it was I didn't embarrass myself(or them)and made a "game ending play" that had em cheering in the stands. Today, I feel like I went the distance with Ali! There's not one part of me that doesn't hurt. A memory that will last as long as the memory does! |

23 Aug 09 - 12:15 PM (#2706661) Subject: RE: BS: Time to say 'Too Old'! From: Little Hawk Good point, Ebbie. Virtually all men are rather drawn to younger looking women (up to a point), but it is encouraging that Winona is aging at the same rate I am. One thing that worries me, though, I don't anticipate any success in getting her to quit smoking on the admittedly slight chance that we get a chance to negotiate such matters... I really don't care for cigarette smoke. |

24 Aug 09 - 12:12 AM (#2707045) Subject: RE: BS: Time to say 'Too Old'! From: Little Hawk Rapaire...I also detest marijuana smoke and hash smoke. I have to say, though that the marijuana smoke is not nearly as noxious as tobacco smoke is. Still, I'd rather avoid both, given the choice. No animal is stupid enough to deliberately inhale smoke. Pity I can't say that about many humans! ;-) Humans would, I'm sure, cut off and eat their own right hand pinkie fingers if it was considered both customary and "cool" to do so by their surrounding peer group. |

Geez, what a dolt Tatanka Yotanka was, gouging out all that flesh before the Custer fight. And all those Shoshones who cut up their arms. Or the Pawnees who cut off pieces of their fingers. Dang. |

24 Aug 09 - 01:18 PM (#2707393) Subject: RE: BS: Time to say 'Too Old'! From: Little Hawk Yes. (grin) They got really carried away with that sort of excessive male bravado, didn't they? It's an aspect of the Plains Indian culture that I've never really identified with, all that mortification of the flesh. (Yes, Indians do stupid things too!) |

24 Aug 09 - 02:27 PM (#2707449) Subject: RE: BS: Time to say 'Too Old'! From: Leadfingers Mortification of the flesh ? Is that any thing to do with sat up chatting and boozing til Four in the morning after finishing our Gig on the ferry ? |

24 Aug 09 - 04:20 PM (#2707531) Subject: RE: BS: Time to say 'Too Old'! From: Little Hawk One thing though. No Amerindian ever cut his own dick off to prove a point! Or those other little parts down there... At least...I hope not. ;-D I wait in trepidation to be disproven. |

24 Aug 09 - 04:26 PM (#2707536) Subject: RE: BS: Time to say 'Too Old'! From: Rapparee I don't know, but I'll check on it. You can check it too by using an indelible marker pen, assuming you haven't cut it off for some reason or other. Or you could do scientific research by asking every member of the First Nations you meet, "Say, have you cut your dick off?" This should start some interesting conversations. |
