The article reads as saying he lost the dominoes themselves.

That alone shouldn't be serious. I'm sure they have plenty of patients who've lost their marbles.

The more I read of the article, the more I like that old goat. I hope when I'm that age I can get in poolroom brawls.

History is replete with examples of violence in the name of religion. The Crusades. The Inquisition. Running Carl Evans out of a chair...

man i hate old people, we got too many of those diaper totin' drool sacks. I'm not saying we should kill them all, but well, let's just say next time you see and elderly person doing something incredibly dangerous, and you know, your phone rings or something... well, I won't judge you...

So they banned him for extra donuts stuff and leaving pool balls on a table.. OMG! hang em!!!! i know i would...

Gimme a break, just a bunch of liberals trying to boss old people around.. i say let 'em in and give him all the pool balls he wants to to leave on the table!

But im from Canada where we don't have such sillyness with all the igloos melting right now.. lol.

Getting old is supposed to be an excuse for doing that sort of thing. Personally, I'm looking forward to the day I can pretend I'm deaf and stare serenely at people when I can't be bothered doing something.

... Pssst... Hey you! Over here. Come closer... closer!

Nope, you don't look like the Highlander to me, so here's a secret... someday, you will be old too.

I know, I know, you don't have to believe me; just don't say I didn't warn you.

Be kind to the young and the elderly; because one day you'll be elderly, and the young will do whatever they want with you (and you'll be way too old for them to do the first thing that popped into your head when you read this).

actually, i like old folks, they are like a big ol' squishy bag o' knowledge. my favorite is the commercial where the old lady can remember every detail about the day the 2nd world war ended, but she can't remember if she turned the dag-nam stove off. haha

I love old people, my grandparents are crazy old people. but did you ever notice that old people especially grandpas get "old-man strenght"? i bet my grandpa could still kick my ass at 75. Man, old people sure get tough in their old age, and ornery.

Almost anyone in the medical field can vouch for that, Pugsley, you betcha.

Arm him and then see what happens to those pesky admens.

This article reminded me to make sure I kill myself before I grow old and need to attend "senior centers" where I will be pushed around by self-important martinets.

my grandmother is in her eighties and serves on the board of directors of one of these city-run facilities. My Lord, every time I talk to her there's a story like this one, or they're having some soap opera that's remarkably like high school: some of the women don't like this other one because she's "too cute", or they don't like this other person because he "interrupts", or someone spent too long dancing with someone else's date at the afternoon social.

And puggsley, they've got that old-people tenacity, so the ones I know through my grandmother hang on to grudges for years. They're very, very weird. it's like walking into a soap opera....

yah thats true too higwayrun...

my aunt before she died, went crazy and left all her money and assesets and crap to a bingo-buddy, which made all sorts of legal problems because she was a care taker for her adopted daughter at the time, which seems illogical then to leave all ones money to someone else when you have dependents... whatever. and her dogs were friggin possessed by demons. ew.

NURSE NAZIS!!!

ok, the article refers to him as an "elderly preacher," but they throw in the fact that he's also a former postal worker. i can see why he'd want to play up the preacher aspect, but that's too funny.

also i love how he's got nothing but complaints, then litigation, but all the while fighting for his right to go back. after a 60 day ban, wouldn't you lose interest? wouldn't you think, "hey, i'm being publicly berated, can't get ice cream toppings, and end up in physical altercations when i go to this place. maybe i'll find something else to do."

oh no. not the elderly. and while we're all going to be old someday, i'm hoping that satellite tv and the internet will keep me amused as they do now, something the elderly don't use that frequently today. i don't want to end up picking fights at the senior center!

can't believe somone had that much to say about old people...nice

Give the guy a break. He picked Stanford.
 
2004-03-21 08:24:42 AM
I honestly don't see what is wrong with giving a old guy an extra glass of milk or a couple of extra donuts.

I think the problem was that he was picking fights with everybody.

The comment about the illegal bingo amused me. They're running a racket on more than sprinkles around there.

I think "The former postal worker" part kinda says it all. "Gimme back that doughnut ya ol' bastage!"

"Dear Advertisers,

I am disgusted with the way old people are depicted on television. We are not all vibrant, fun-loving sex maniacs. Many of us are bitter, resentful individuals who remember the good old days when entertainment was bland and inoffensive. The following is a list of words I never want to hear on television again:

1. Bra
2. Horny
3. Family Jewels"

He probably wants to go back cause there's some hottie 70 y/o pootang action there next to the Wal-Mart.

Furthermore, I think when you've reached retirement age you are entitled to an all you can eat buffet of milk, doughnuts and ice cream toppings.
