HOLY ****, HOWMANEE GEEZERS WE GOT HERE??

I ain't no geezer . . . uhm . . . i'm just slowing down a little 'cause them dogs runs me ragged . . . yeah, that's it . . . it's the little dogs did this to me.

I'll be 64 in November.

A November baby, huh? My birfsday is on the eighth.

The 18th pour moi.

My geezer credentials are well established.

I'm 65 and my mailbox is loaded with "Important Medicare Information!" just
about every day.

We got us a Geezocracy

We is ridin' the Geezerocket ! ! !

I'm 59, being 60 next April.

I don't consider myself an old geezer though. My looks don't give me away. I could pass for mid-40s, I think.

I just turned 60 on Sept 20th. My g/f is turning 60 on Oct. 30 and she's throwing a party. It's a good time to be 60 ... (or any age). Being an 'old fart' is better than being a 'no fart'.

Sounds like a bunch of boomer geezers.

No kiddin' . . . you'll don't get any older than dead, and i'm happy to be alive. Any way, when Alexander the Not So Great was my age, he had been dead for twenty-seven years.

Whats all this mumbling about?

All some poeple do is grow old.

Alex the Great had an occupational hazard as conqueror of the then known-world. Those life spans were short. I think he died at age 32, didn't he?

Does geezerdom start at sixty?

So...I only got three years?

Well, bugger me.

Thirty-three . . . he died of disease, though, not from wounds. There have been allegations of poison, but none were contemporary, which, with "great" men is usually a good sign that there was no poisoning.

Anyway, he was no geezer. When Niccolò Machiavelli was my age, he had been dead for two years.

I have been getting catalogs from a company called, "First Street". It's slogan is "for boomers and beyond."

It has all kinds of stuff that older people can use. Actually, I have bought a few things from them.

I thought that it was a great idea........................................until I realized that I was one of the "beyond"!

You young whippersnappers have a long way to go to catch up with me at 81.

A whippersnapper is 'an unimportant but offensively presumptuous person, especially a young one'.

A few nineteenth-century examples: "Dost thou think it's nat'ral noo, that having such a proper mun as thou to keep company wi', I'd ever tak' opp wi' such a leetle scanty whipper-snapper as yon?" (Dickens, Nicholas Nickelby); "They think I am very stiff and cool, most of them, and so I am to whippersnappers" (Louisa May Alcott, Little Women); "...had unnaturally been jealous that a young whipper-snapper of a pupil...should become a Parliament man" (Trollope, Phineas Finn).

The word whippersnapper--which, as these citations indicate, is often hyphenated--is first recorded in this sense in the late 1690s; there's an example earlier in the seventeenth century, in a book about criminals, that seems to mean 'a rogue; petty criminal'.

Whippersnapper is probably a blend of the earlier whipster and snipper-snapper, themselves first recorded in the late sixteenth century. Snipper-snapper is now obsolete or dialectal; it is based on snip-snap, a gradational compound having various parts of speech all generally referring to "snappiness," as of conversation.

I have a whippersnapper to cut grass in tight spots, along the fences and around trees.

I wouldn't be so old if I hadn't been born at such a young age.
