Old Fart Pride

Re: Old Fart Pride

This thread is not a complaint about our children and grandchildren.

It's while learning who they are that some of them annoy us. It is up to us to provide the model. When the chips are down they make me proud.

Our values, our liberty and our freedom are in good hands.

Didnt see it as a complaint at all. I just think its kind of interesting how the more things change the more things stay the same. Kinda funny how despite countless centuries, at some point, everyone was someones 'rebel' child.

Very interesting info Tim F. Im facinated by the consistency of human nature throughout time.

Normally I agree with most everything you post. I'm a little leary on this last statement (as I'm applying it to the government) and I can only hope you're right.

And - our handshake is as good as a written contract; but more binding,

No doubt about that.

Re: Old Fart Pride

What age does old fartdom actually take place? I have a brother who is 21 years younger than I am, and I suspect he thinks I am an old fart.

Re: Old Fart Pride

I think it is time to revisit this, along with ehenry's thread about the Veterans' History Project.

Even an Old Fart would have to smile at this:

Re: Old Fart Pride

I think even an Old Fart could use this guy as a role model.
Sergeant Major Basil Plumley - YouTube

"Custer was a *****. You ain't."

Still one of the best movie lines ever. I really hope Plumley actually said it.
