It is a scientific fact that no one can watch Old Yeller without crying.

I turn 67 in March and I just got another uni job (I think). Has anyone else beaten the age 65 jinx?

I prefer "distinguished." My greying hair is sexy.
Bill Cinton is my hero and role model.

At what age do I (have I) become a geezer? And who set the age standard?

As determined by me, you passed the magic date 3 years ago.

It's funny how the older you get, the further you push back "geezer-dom". To think...soon (very soon!), Demi Moore will be a geezer. Brooke Shields will be a geezer soon. Halle Berry. Cindy Crawford. Shania Twain. Sandra Bullock. Sheryl Crow. Heather Locklear. All geezers or on the brink of geezer-dom. I am in fine company!!

I find this 'pole' a little offensive.

How about a 'pole' to find out what Asians like to be called.
slant eye?
Gook?
Chink?

And don't give me the 'lighten up' shite. Ageism is real. Oddly enough many of the posters thinking this is just a bit of harmless fun can also be found complaining bitterly about their percieved slights at how Koreans treat them.

You can call me Sir or Mr. O. F. Expat.
