What Are You Probably Too Old To Be Doing, But You Still Do It Anyway?

[Glenn]

There's a guy in Billings, Montana by the name of Floyd Creekmore. He's 95- years- old and he recently earned the title of "world's oldest clown". In spite of having had a stroke, a crooked face and a shaky hand, Floyd still dresses up as "Creeky the Clown" when the circus comes to town. If you're like most people, and you already think clowns are cReEpY, IMAGINE A 95- year- old one with a crooked face, thus; crooked make- up, and shaky hands.

This is the stuff of nightmare's, but Floyd is under the delusion that he's, somehow, 'entertaining' children. Floyd, you're 95 man, hang it up.

The there's Emerald City Comic- Con, an annual celebration of comic books, cartoons, and all things geek. I think it's great; provides exposure for artists and directors, etc, but the idea of adults dressing up as their childhood heroes is a bit odd to me.

Then again, if you were to ask our respective wives/ girlfriends, I'm sure they'd have a story or two about you that is as immature as it gets. We've all been asked, "What are you, 9- years- old?" Don't be silly... 9- year- olds don't drink. Besides, it's fun. Isn't that why anybody does anything that they have no business doing?

It's today question: WHAT ARE YOU PROBABLY TOO OLD TO BE DOING, BUT YOU STILL DO IT ANYWAY?

Trying to skate like I was still in my late teens early twenties. I busted so hardcore today on a skateboard. Feet went over my head and I landed on my back. All while clowning around and trying to do a 360 heel flip. My fricking back still hurts. And as for my lovely wife? She laughed so hard coke shot out of her nose. I'll post some more as I think of them.

Wearing spiked bracelets is up on the list too. Really haven't worn them since turning 24 4 years ago though. Those are now reserved for Raiders games and concerts.

Moah pitting at concerts is starting to get up on the list. I think I probably have another fifteen or so years left before I have to quit doing that though.

Going to the mall. I went the other day to pick up some things. I swear I felt like a creep in that place. I am only 26 for the record.

That reminds me years ago when I thought I could do a handstand while riding a skateboard. The pavement to my chin didn't feel good and funny part I never skated in my life.

This is not something I still do, but I was too old to be doing it when I did it. Three years ago (I was 21 at the time), me and a bunch of my friends from work all went out go-karting. The place we went must have bought all of the indoor playground equipment and obstacles from a local Discovery Zone after that chain went out of business, because they had it all set up inside exactly how DZ used to be. I was in hog heaven reliving my childhood running and climbing through all that stuff, and I ended up going down a slide that ended in a ball pit. When I stopped on the end of the slide, I stood up and jumped into the ball pit. It was much shallower than I remember them being when I was a kid, and when I landed I rolled my ankle on one of the balls and heard a snap, followed by intense pain. I ended up tearing the ligament in my ankle that attaches the tibia and the fibula, and breaking my fibula.

Well, im only 16, but sometimes when I run up the stairs I use all fours.

Also, when I was in elementary school all the kids on my street would wait for the bus. Well, there was a pear tree there so half the year we would cover all of a 10 ft wide section of street with them (Literally, covered) and laugh histerically when people drove over them at like 30 and they blew up. We still do that sometimes for old times sake

[slonezp]

Never too old. Just a little slower.

[scrutch]

Ever been to Vegas? I just saw a 40 something year old man walking from a side street out to the strip wearing a full Elmo costume. He was carrying his head and looking like he was just headed to another day at work.

Batman was another one. 35-45 yrs old, 5'6", beer belly. C'mon man! Really?

I drove by a Cash for Gold store on the way back from the lake yesterday. There was an older gentleman in a chicken costume out front trying to light a cigarette. Wish I had the camera.

Also, my mom made me an Easter basket.

[Catt]

Running across the lake @ 80+ mph, my back says don't do it, my mind says 60 years now & I still aint gonna listen to ya!

[Sfritr]

Farting and giggling like I'm 12

Giving people upper deckers at parties

Putting Rubber snakes in the storage compartments of my buddies boats at the ramp while they park the truck

Shaking up a soda can before handing it to my son

Turning on everything in my wifes car (wipers, turn signal, radio volume, fan, etc.) before she leaves for work in the morning

Sneaking into the bathroom while my son is in the shower and pouring ice water over the top of the shower curtain and running

Staying in a hotel and replacing the morning paper outside someones room with one from 6 months ago and then laughing at myself thinking about their reaction....

Yeah, I'm 38...

I do the same thing and pay for it later. I guess I will never outlive the "NEED FOR SPEED"?

Army PT five days a week. I can still do all the things I did when I was younger, but it hurts a lot worse the next day.

[00 mod]

I never do anything that I am too old to do! BTW, I cannot find the pic where i was "really" riding the bull!

Hey Kelley don't you laugh when hear "just because you have a 250 doesn't mean you have run WOT"!

I do care if its a 2.5 Hp or a 250 Hp its run WOT

[SirSnookalot]

I like fishing off the rocks at spillways and inlets, I'm not as sure footed at 66, and the rocks can be slippery. I don't fish that way too often anymore.

I like wind, but up to a point, 20 or so from shore is ok, but don't like over 15 mph in a boat, the waves get high and bounce me around too much...........but that's when the fishing gets good.

[tomustang]

That's a size issue not an age issue

[00 mod]

That's a size issue not an age issue

I think neither! LOL

Me and a buddy are constantly messing with the women in the bay of cubicles at work. Awhile back we put an animatronic remote control predator call in the ceiling tiles over all their desks. We put it on "bobcat in heat" setting and waited until they came in. Throughout the day, we'd push the remote... Never heard so much cackling in my life! Eventually they were calling animal control, so we had to come clean.

[detroit1]

i can't tell you.

Yes, that's me on the river; can't take the vibration any longer, so my wife knows when I've been out running the river cause it takes me three days to recover from walking around like I've got a pole up my butt.

And she still elbows me when I'm checking out other women at the mall, I love the way they're making jeans these days
