He's winding down, folks. He's winding down.  :(

   You're catching up to this curmudgeon. I began using TWC as background in 1997. When I was 22.  I have spiritual progeria.

you haven't hit bottom quite yet Onan
There are worse things to have on as background noise.
The Lawrence Welk Show comes to mind.
Hee Haw is  another.

Do you chase the neighborhood kids off your lawn?

Have you called the cops on your rowdy neighbors?

Does "it" still move?

Gemstone

I have been helping take care of premature twins and a three year old.  I'm exhausted.  There is a reason you have kids when you're young.

If I ever suffer the misfortune of having spawn I will hire a Swedish nanny and then knock her up and run off to Vancouver. I've said this before but I'll say it again ... any Canadians looking to adopt middle aged web developer? I can wipe my own ass and I already know how to drive.

Don't they drive on the opposite side of the road??   ::)

I'm only 32, but have lots of vinyl, and a couple pieces of hollow state electronics. lol.

Eddie Dean- Hee Haw is a show to focus on, not just have in the background. LOL

Ha! That was me over 10 years ago.  Then, dang nab, I didn't want to pay for satellite service and went to free OTA TV.  Now, my background is either MeTV or GetTV, unless I'm feeling frisky and switch-it up to Grit.  That's the "Television with backbone," sonny.

I've also started wearing suspenders, love the special at the local cafeteria, and just got a Toyota Avalon.  Damn whippersnappers and their Cantore man-love.  Bah!

I bet you want to hear about the garden I am planting.

It is a fulfilling activity.
My fig tree generated its first batch a few weeks ago.
Eating a fig fresh from that tree and over a cold beer just about made me cry.
It was like my baby all grown up.

Eddie Coyle is so preternaturally old that it would not be inappropriate to use the simile of "his leviathanic recall/memory is like a clay tablet and stylus."

(many many many many clay tablets.)

I'm so old the 25-year old female PAs at my physical therapy place will talk to me.

Eddie eats grouchy old men alive.  Chuck Norris, you've been warned.

I know this dooms your words to the basement instead of the top corner, but still -- this is brilliant. The reason for joining Bellgab, in case you were looking.

Yeah, I don't like figs either.

Do you sport the Black socks & Sandals look while hosing down the driveway?

DO WE NEED TO TYPE BIGGER FOR YOU TO SEE US ONAN? I DON'T MIND. WHATEVER YOU NEED, SIR.

As long as I take 5 minutes in the morning to let my eyes focus and then sport my trifocals, I am good. But the thought is genuinely appreciated, now get off my lawn.

I was picking up a friend at the airport and a young woman walked by and said "that's a fly car." No amount of pretty can overcome that kind of statement.
