(14,954 posts)And as George Burns once said "Oh to be 70 again!" I'll be 59 next month. 57 looks good to me know although I wasn't happy to be turning another year older then either.
Enjoy Steve!

2. Punch a Texas Ranger in the mouth. Not a MLB Ranger the one that rides a horse.
3. "Canada has refused Our demands. Gather the troops.
4. "Maybe if you do more cocaine the hallucinations will go away."
5. Join the church of Satan.
6. "That BC Rich guitar you got in 1989, that's still in your basement that you never learned to play? Continue to ignore it. Your almost 60 for Christsake! You think your Keith friggen Richards?"
7. Join the church of Perpetual Exception.
8. "I find myself on the planet Ogo, part of an intellectual elite, preparing to subjugate the barbarian hordes on Pluto. But even though this is a totally convincing reality for me in every way, nevertheless Ogo is actually a construct of my psyche. I am mentally divergent, in that I am escaping certain unnamed realities that plague my life here. When I stop going there, I will be well. Are you also divergent, Steve2470?"
9. Accept the fact that you will never make it in porn.
10. "Sometimes I fear immortality has driven me insane. I'm bored, Steve2470. Cosmically, sexually... Last week I made love to a giant panda. No reason, Steve2470. Do you hear me? I had no goddamn reason at all. It wasn't even a goddess in disguise, or anything. I merely saw it, took it, discarded it. There was no joy in it. Just a hollowness, for the entire act. The same hollowness I feel now. I long for death but fear I cannot die."

58 will come before you know it.
Hydrate.
Everybody says that's good for you, although we didn't use to and we seemed to get along OK.
It couldn't hurt.
Wear comfortable shoes with good arch supports.
In 10 years your feet will thank you.
Support Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination.
If you're polled or see an online poll, go for Trump.
It's driving the repugs nuts (nuttier?) and that's always a good thing.
