Comments on: At Least I’m Consistent - I Still Don’t Like Elder or Elderly http://goinglikesixty.com/2007/09/10/at-least-im-consistent-i-still-dont-like-elder-or-elderly/ Baby Boomer guy writing about stuff of interest primarily to boomers, or people who know one. No politics, few rants, attempted humor. Suitably old, mysteriously advanced.

The change may come in assisted living facilities where some guys are watching a sporting event and some bone-head play happens. Holy F***!

Perhaps <i>mature</i> blogger is more appropriate? Of course that would not apply to one's personality/sense of personal responsibility of course since age rarely reflects maturity now does it? However, Micki gave me some ripe old ideas from her comment for some new awards (complete with appropriate image logos) for us old(er) type bloggers. How about... A Genuine Battle Ax Blog? or perhaps The Old Bag Blogger Award? How can we, the mature bloggers (boomers, whatever) that we are, possibly be considered elderly? Elderly folks simply do not use the exclamatory terms and phrases such as cool, Alright!, kick ass, ******'-A-right! ('scuse please) and various others we have heard and witnessed over our entire lives. Could you possibly imagine the kind of conversation heard in the community room of a (shudder) nursing home that might have a bunch of us old f**ts sitting around? That ain't what I would call elderly! BTW, Thanks for participating and republishing your first post. I've long admired "Going Like Sixty" and it's much appreciated. The first version of the list goes up today but the "friendly challenge" will be going on for awhile yet so any of you who wish to join in...as you can see, it can be a lot of fun. Especially if it's a bunch of old fogies like us. :P Oh...and I see you have the same "Penguin Slap" gif that I have (although mine's in a post). It's much better in the sidebar. Hmmm…
