Well, plastic surgery ruined Raquel Welch's face.

How is Andy Rooney not dead yet? I'm pushing 40 and when I was a little kid the guy was fucking old!!

And, of course, being forced to marry someone 'cause one got knocked up pre-Pill SO did not ruin marriage.

So when some current writers for The Stranger and some Sologers approach 80 will they be grumpy and whine about how "kids these days just aren't snarky and ironic like they were back in my day?"

I envision myself as more of an "it's drafty in here" type of octogenarian complainer.

The nearest dollar store probably has boxes of raisin bran with just one scoop.

Raisins. *Brrrrr*

Cloying and gritty.

I wonder how The Stranger will appeal to its rapidly aging audience.

I love people who are old enough to just not give a damn. Andy rocks.

Lady Gaga was from a Catholic school in my Diocese.

Andy's been decrepit for the last 30 years.

Fnarf is slog's very own Andy Rooney. Wish he had a segment here.

Matt from Denver on May 11, 2010 at 10:14 AM

David, you will never be decrepit. When you get old, you'll be a fine, fine, totally doable silver fox.

Chris in Vancouver WA on May 11, 2010 at 10:19 AM

My kids just discovered Andy Rooney recently and find him endlessly amusing. I used to watch his bitchy 60 Minutes segments with my grandparents decades ago, and now watch in amazement to see this 92 year old TV personality return nearly every week to complain.

Peter F on May 11, 2010 at 10:26 AM

Yep, Matt, he's certainly crotchety enough. "Cake! I fucking hate cake!"

I cannot find mention or either her or Lord Gaga in Burke's Peerage.

If you just buy plain bran flakes and raisins, you get to decide how many raisins are in you raisin bran. And it's not as sugary.

I read that as "it's not ass surgery" at first, and I wondered if ass surgery was an appropriately difficult analog for brain surgery in that usage.

Time for more coffee.

You have seen Don't Get Caught in a Bad Hotel haven't you??? Lady Gaga goes labor in San Francisco

Oh my god, an early 90s HP DeskJet 500 in his office! Wow. Right next to his adding machine (behind him, so not seen).

Telsa Grills on May 11, 2010 at 11:36 AM

I've heard of both Ella Fitzgerald and Lady Gaga, you crotchety old has-been. I can't believe this windbag is still on the air.

For the record, I will be much much worse when I get old. I'll be an angry old coot, and I'll blather on about all sorts of things I know nothing about.

Who is Justin Bieber?

Reverse Polarity on May 11, 2010 at 12:14 PM

I hope to be as crotchety and curmudgeonly and biased and non-p.c. in my dotage as Andy is. Check out his Wiki entry - it's pretty impressive for someone 'who should be dead or just go away'. Did you know your great-grand-parents? Probably a lot like Andy. Justin Bieber? - marketed just like Wheaties to the Androgyny crowd.

Skip to #9 his rant on modern art. I gotta agree with him on that one, plus his tone brings back fond memories of my grandmother

DavidC on May 11, 2010 at 2:23 PM

singing cynic @ 17: Presumably if you have enough of the bran, you don't need the ass surgery...

Cynic Romantic on May 13, 2010 at 10:28 AM

@23 Our user names are dangerously similar. One of us must die.

singing cynic on May 14, 2010 at 10:06 AM

Well, we could get married, and that would make you singing cynic-Romantic ;)
