Cheated death today....just got lucky is the only reason I am still here.

[paccity]

Well, it might not be 'okay', but he's still here ain't he?

only takes one time.

 

[chaikwa]

only takes one time.

Only takes one time to make a baby too, which is also a life altering event, but I'd bet the majority of you have never turned celibate!

Ya know, now that I think about it, you're probably right.
I think you and oldtimer should just keep on doing what you've always done.
It's just a natural process in the order of things.

[Oldtimer]

You should also be aware;

I pulled the tags off my mattress...

I drive my truck with no seat belt...

I stole a candy bar when I was 8...

I had premarital sexual intercourse with my wife when she was just a girl I knew..

I worked on my car without first disconnecting the negative battery cable..

I drank alcohol before the age of 18..

And this one time, at band camp, I helped a girl with a flute problem.

I came pretty close to getting flattened tonight. Still not sure what really happened.

Went for a ride to grab a hotdog and was approaching some lights when an ambulance came flying through. I slowed down to not much more than running pace to see if anything more was coming. Can't remember if the light was red or had turned green but a car tried to turn through the intersection and another T boned it at about 50 or 60. Everything kind of slowed right down there, and I saw the airbags explode in both, the T boned car pretty much disintegrated and the other one started doing flat 360's right across the road straight for me. Before i could decide whether to dump the bike or what, he went flying right past, up the sidewalk and smashed into a bus stop.

Nobody hurt, but I had to be removed from my bikes seat with a 6' crow bar. I'm pretty sure the ambulance was the cause of the accident. Amazed that nobody was hurt. Both cars were completely destroyed.

So, Shaun you were tasting the vinyl?

I dunno. You tryin' to be smart?

He didn't get the nickname 'oldtimer' by dying young. And I'M not the one poking wires with sticks. I figure there must be some trick to it that I don't know. So when I see an old guy do it it stands to reason that he's the one that knows the trick!

And yet, knowing the inherent dangers of operating a bike, and knowing you could easily be killed at someone else's hands, you continue to ride. Is this all that much different from what oldtimer does?

Is there a difference between walking on the sidewalk or in the middle of the street?

Not around here!

He gave himself the name Oldtimer. It's not a guarantee of anything, especially smarts. He's living proof of that.

I'm an oldtimer, too. I'm probably older than Oldtimer. :msp_biggrin:
One thing I've learned from a lifetime of working in the woods and seeing people get crippled and killed is that there are some things you just don't do. It's a long list.

You poke that tiger with a stick often enough, you'll get bit.

You kiddies can go back to your arguing now. :msp_wink:

Still tasting it this morning! That car came within a few feet of me. I'd buy a lottery ticket but I think I already used all my luck up this week. Guess I'll go climb some trees with a chainsaw instead ;-)
