Another Curmudgeon Bites the Dust

[smokeyjoe53]

Andy Rooney passed away Friday night Nov.4. If you look up "curmudgeon" in the dictionary, I think you find Andy Rooney's picture.
I didn't particularly care for his political views but you had to admire his tenacity. Mr. Rooney certainly experienced an interesting life and only recently "retired" from 60 Minutes.

That would be bad. What would we do without the ancient one?

So when you were a kid, all you only had rocks? There was no dirt?

 

[smokeyjoe53]

We had dirt, you just had to keep an eye out for the dinosaurs........................

I was born in 1973. That makes you old.

 

[Old Bearkat]

Looks like Smokey and I are the only dinosaur hunters here then.

 

[oldfat&bald]

Is the term "dinosaur hunter" the politically correct way to say "really old fart?"

No - that makes you a snot-nosed kid.

 

[CowboyP]

Rofl! It's been a long time since I've been called a kid!

 

[smokeyjoe53]

I take it you are called "snot-nosed" quite frequently then.................

I'm not called snot-nosed very often either, but I have heard it a little more recently.

Yep......

Hey BearKat, you remember those phones that had the dial that you stuck your finger in and turned to make a call? I actually remember my parents had a phone with a crank.

I remember rotary phones, & I've used the crank style for catfishing...
