Add to this the realization that even if I live to be 100 years old, I will still have fewer years to live than the amount I have already lived...

I still plan to live to be 100; there are still too many people I have yet to annoy...

<O>

Fifty decades eh?

You win the oldest on SubSim prize by a country mile

When your drugs cabinet is so over loaded you could open up a drugs store.

When you start threads about getting old.

I'm not old. Just really, really ripe.

When you think Eminem is a bag of sweets.

When you can remember that games used to come on a cassette tape that took 4 hours to load and your commodore 64 had no memory so you had to do it every stuffin time.

When your first state of the art games console was a Hanimex tv tennis game played on a black and white tv that had a wooden cabinet the size of a bus.
