So I see my ex wife has farked another old geezer.

Part of his generation gap?

He knew that were gonna happen.

Reminds me of something that happened to my grandfather when he was in his late 70s.. Big family reunion at a park near Lake Michigan. The park was a couple hundred feet above the lake with pretty steep embankments going down to the lake, all forested.

Anyway, grandpa disappears for a while and comes back covered in mud reading his newspaper like nothing happened. He'd decided to go for a walk for a bit of quiet, got too close to the edge and took a mudslide about 20 feet down. He managed to pull himself up and wander back. He didn't even mention anything until someone saw he was covered in mud. "Ah yeah, I decided to go check out the trees for a bit and figured sliding down was the fastest way."

Like a boss.

I will now call all people who swallow 80 year old men 'Sinkholes'.


Your grandad visits 'sinkholes' and gets swallowed. And he likes it.

Get in my lawn.

While reading the newspaper this morning, I was swallowed by subbys mom.

\So
\\No shame.

The last place I lived my back yard developed a sink hole in the early spring maybe 2-foot wide and 2-foot deep.

I started excavating and found

1) an enormous bullfrog from my nearby pond that was overwintering and maybe stuck.

2) A 3 foot circular structure made of bricks that kept going down. It seemed to be filled with trash and rubble. I found an old glass medicine bottle and some gold (gold plated handle presumably from a ladies hand bag).

I could never decide what it was - well, cistern to hold water, or well constructed outhouse pit.

Couldn't have been a well?

If I was the old man, I'd be praying it was a well, and completely omitting any choice of cesspool from my mind.

Lindsey Lohan is at it again.

Wow, the comments in the article put the politics tab to shame. How do you derp about a sinkhole?

What is this, reddit?

An old well or septic system isn't really a sinkhole.
