Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

[Ryujin]

Given how hypersensitive my hearing was in my younger years (I could often hear the sounds of some security systems that are avowedly beyond the normal human range) it might have been a coin flip that I woke up and then decided the intruder was the roomate and wondered why I'd woke up...

Getting old is weird. I got used to being able to read license plates at 100 yards and the tiniest type, plus having hearing that tested to 22.5KHz (despite being half deaf in one ear from multiple ear infections as a kid). Now I need readers and a magnifying glass, and my hearing doesn't break 14KHz. Did you have problems sleeping in the same room as a tube TV?

No, because of my screening, but that didn't mean I couldn't hear it, just that like a lot of other noises my subconscious knew what they were, it disregarded it.

My favorite was the time I kept hearing this odd noise from outside and asked my father if he knew what it was; he couldn't hear it. It turned out it was a swarm of gnats hovering around in the corner of the yard...

Hal Jordan also took him out in front of the Justice League including Guy's girl at the time (Ice) in GL #25, I believe, in the 90's run.

be that as it may, everyone still talks about the time Batman did it.

I accepted that trimming nose hair was part of getting older a long time ago.

I had no misgivings about gray hair as it crept down from my head to any other place where hair grows.

But today was the first day I found a gray nose hair. So I guess I've hit that stage of life.

Only if "proper budget" is less than $30 million. Half the charm of watching a Charles Band sci-fi epic is that fact that it's made on a shoestring.

Death Race 2000 and Death Race 2050 were both better than Death Race (2008).

Just as long as you're trimming it. The day you decide that hair can sprout like weeds from your eyebrows, nose and ears without a care, you've passed a grim milestone.

Getting old is like struggling to replace the hub on one of my company trucks, where in the past, like my 30's it would have been super easy. Not only is it more difficult now, it will never get easier, there comes a point where you have to just give up, and it is hard to accept that.

Puts a new spin on the old phrase, "Get off my lawn!!"
