At 112 years old, Europe's oldest man ah3133 attributes his longevity to 'cigarettes, whisky and wild, wild women'

That's what I'm talkin' about

I salute you, old drunken, womanizing bastard.

What, "Hero" tag on vacation, subby?

They're always smokers.
Never fat though.

I attribute my missing year to the same. What do you mean I lived in Florida in my twenties?

the purpose of life is not to arrive at the grave quietly in a well preserved and intact body. But rather to arrive sliding in sideways, all worn out and yelling, Man, what a ride!

He retired in 1960. Holy crap.

Meh, I know my lifestyle and my family medical history. I figure if I see 60 I'm ahead of the game.

/Grandfather died at 43 of heart attack.
//Loves steak

How many of these stories come out where they attribute their longevity to a life of diet, exercise and quiet meditation?

Jack LaLanne doesn't count

Does Mari J count? It makes you sleepy and old peaple are always sleepy and take naps all the time...

/Just say NO!!!

Approves.

When 112 years old you reach, have as much poon as me you will not.

Pribar: the purpose of life is not to arrive at the grave quietly in a well preserved and intact body. But rather to arrive sliding in sideways, all worn out and yelling, Man, what a ride!

Ugh. That is an overused cliche.

It wouldn't make an awesome story and they aren't Europe's oldest man.

The only other way I know to live that long other than preserving your body with alcohol and tobacco is to be a supreme court justice. Those guys live forever...

There can be only one!

/hey, dude, where's your sword?

Bengela: Pribar: the purpose of life is not to arrive at the grave quietly in a well preserved and intact body. But rather to arrive sliding in sideways, all worn out and yelling, Man, what a ride!

Ugh. That is an overused cliche.

It may be, but it is also true, seriously. Would you rather live to be 120 eating nothing but broccoli and having the most exciting thing you ever do be taking a movie out at blockbuster once a week, or would you rather eat steak, drink Talisker, have sex with exotic babes and just generally live it up till your heart gives out at 60?

He eats wild women? Are they feral?

I still get weirded out by the fact that Lemmy is two years younger than my dad.

indeed

I too only live in the realm of extremes

/Ironic that you are probably closer to the former than the latter, however

/also thinks is should be a [HERO] tag.

Your dad's older than god?

I'ld argue the latter point i I didn't have to be in the gym in 26 minutes...

/Drum roll, please...

Needs new blood to make that age.

I'll take the latter, thank you.

Hell, there are people who are surprised to find out I'm still alive as it is.

Living the life you want is... good?

/unpossible!

My best friend's wife hates me, I'm responsible for most of his scar tissue...

Yep, I'm kinda the bad influence too.
Wouldn't have it any other way.

That's a whole heap of awesome.

What happened to the hero tag?

She still doesn't realize that our last "fishing trip" was in a little bar in the keys that had some truly kickass tequila.

/What? You need worms for bait!

FTFA:On the same day George Francis, the oldest living American male, will also turn 112.

doesn't anyone else find this a pretty incredible coincidence? I wonder if it's really true....

/the same DAY?? the same age??

isn't this the same story as always with these oldies? The cigarette, whisky, and wild woman industries must pay these guys off to say this.

That pic was just sent as an email attachment to some guy I know, working at the dept. of health

It seems like a lot of long-lived people attribute their health to whiskey. I think they're on to something here...

december: isn't this the same story as always with these oldies? The cigarette, whisky, and wild woman industries must pay these guys off to say this.

They did the same with this guy:

I came here for that, and I wasn't disappointed. Thanks!

My great grandfather lived to 103 and he smoke perodi (sp?) Italian cigars, was fairly mean, and drank wine up til the end. I think is is he secret to life.

I've been drinking, smokin, and humpin girls for at least 20 years and I'm only 38.
I could have another 74 years of this if I keep it up...?

/KEWL!

I figure before I hit 112 the Zombie apocalypse will hit.

But seriously, as to family history with old age....

The fat non smokers all have heart attacks or strokes between 77 and 85 and are healthy till they die

the skinny smokers make it to about 70-75 and die slow miserable death of lung cancer

The fat smokers have a heart attack about 65-70, at least cheat the cancer.

The skinny non smokers make it to about 85-90 and are bed ridden with arthritis and deaf.


Considering those options I've went the fat non-smoker route. I'd rather make 80 and die healthy as make 90 and spend the last 3-4 years of my life deaf and bed ridden.

Yay! I don't understand math, much less statistics, so I'm going to take any single example I can to justify my behavior! Yay!

/you could walk to that guy's birthday party upon the end-to-end corpses of deaths caused by cigarette and alcohol.

A fire on one end and a fool on the other

/smoker

Yes, but how are we wild, wild women able to live to be 100? Any tips for that?
