    Please, I remember places where gas was below a dollar. I remember thinking my cousin filling up for $20 was absolutely insane.

    I can't fill up for less than $60 now.

    HEY! Geographically, you're like family! Stabbed in the back by my own southern sister!

    I was old and weak anyway. Slowing down the herd.

    And Cactuar, I call 'em ATV's or Fourwheelers, but most other areas of the English speaking world call them quads I think. I was referring to the ones that only had three wheels and flipped over if you so much as sneezed near it. So much fun as a kid.

    When grandpa Sharky started driving, you could have your full license by age 15 and gas was still around .80 cents a gallon. Of course I started flying before I could drive because the war was going on and Uncle Same drafted me to go fight the Martians in the Pacific Theater. It was a grand theater with two full balconies, and rich luxurious red velvet curtains that framed the screen. Of course the theater moved into the city once the city was built. And where the big city was, it was all apple trees. Miles and miles of apple trees. You could court a woman anytime except harvest time. All hands were needed in the field if the woman-folk were to get the canning done before winter hit. You had to make sure every apple was picked or buried. If you left them out during winter it would attract mammoths, and when you have mammoths you get packs of Utah Raptors. It's possible to charm a raptor if you coat a hay penny in thin layer of paraffin wax, and use it as candle to dazzle the raptor. We used to use them to plow the fields, and plant hay for more pennies. Circle of commerce.

    But back to courting a lady. It wasn't considered appropriate for the a lady to show more than her ankle or she'd be branded a harlot and a jezebel. The whole town would gather around to stone her to death and then have a picnic. Rhubarb pie, Jalapeno corn bread, pig's feet, and stone mill gravy. mmm mmm.

    And that's why we won the war..........

    Wait, where am I?

    I feel old. I can't stay up late anymore, I can't drink without feeling sleepy, my back hurts, I miss the good old days, and those damn kids today have no respect for their elders. And the worst thing is, I work with a bunch of 40-60 year olds who beat me for complaining about being old

    Oh man, you got it bad Harvey. I'd make a bad taste joke like "they'll be dead soon" but that's bad taste and I'd never do that.

    But seriously, complain anyway. Call them whippersnappers if they talk-back.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I know of lye soap, due to often eating with a group of 65 and overs, but I have no extensive knowledge of it. Maybe I should have said "When you know how to make lye soap."

    Julian's been old since he was 14. That's why he's such a creeper.

    I was playing some blops with a friend today and we started trying to figure out how much time (cumulative) we've played video games. I was like "oh man like 13 years now or something" and then he just said "Sega" and I said "oh smurf" because that adds another 2-3 years. I'M smurfING OLD NOW GUYS
