We need more old people like this guy!

Does anyone else wish one of their grandfathers was like this guy?

 

[diaglo]

nope.

my grandfather would've ground his bones to dust and used them to make a paste.

he lived to be 104. and made it into 3 centuries. the 19th, 20th, and 21st.

I fear that if he were my grandfather, I would be even more messed up if that is possible than I am currently.

"Ogre, eh? I ought to club them and eat their bones."

This reminds me of the "Who's more Grizzled?" sketch from SNL.

I never met either of my Grandfathers.

I just lost my 95 year old maternal grandfather in early January. My favorite memory of him is watching Sesame Street with him when I was home from school sick as a child. He laughed himself silly watching big-bird watch a washing machine work. Honestly, watching my grandfather laugh was more entertaining than anything on TV, even back then. I miss joking around with him.

Sorry to hear about that Ambrus

"My brain is a male vagina"?

I'm going to ignore that!

Sorry to hear about your Grandfather, Ambrus. I still have a full set of grandparents, and I've never felt the loss of a close friend or relative. I guess I'm lucky. Still makes me feel bad when I hear about other people, because I can't say I know what they're going through or say anything that will help. I guess I'm sorry will have to do.

Yeah, sorry to hear about your grandfather, Ambrus. My grandfather was a delight to be around too, but he lived in another country. When he died (a couple years ago), it was actually held secret. My uncle (who was the one checking up on him) didn't bother to tell anyone for something like a year.

Man, was I p/o'd.

Afterwards, though, I wrote an Ode to him. I'll treasure that thing.
