You know you're getting older when...

[NormanPride]

... you start having knee issues. :(

[NormanPride]

...Sic'Em starts liking bands from your childhood.

[StoopTroup]

Is it your knees or someone close to you? :D ;)

[NormanPride]

My right knee is jacked up. I think I got a Gresham style injury. :( :(

[stoops the eternal pimp]

with 3 knee surgeries on my right one with a 4th one coming after summer, I feel for you...

[StoopTroup]

My right knee is jacked up. I think I got a Gresham style injury. :( :(

Thanks for clearing that up. :D

I've had one and it still bothers me but not like it did before the sugery. 4-6 months of rehab ensued after the surgery. I suggest putting off any surgery until it's so bad you can't swallow anymore more pain killers.

[NormanPride]

Awesome, I look forward to it!

a great combo is a percoset and an oxycontin...

You sure talk perdy.

[NormanPride]

I hate those drugs. They make me sleepy.

[Czar Soonerov]

It's funny, a couple weeks ago I got up from the couch to go to the bathroom and my knee started hurting. It's hurt ever since. I have no idea what I did to it, but the pain hasn't gotten much better. I turned 40 last year, getting old sucks.

[Ike]

...someone you played baseball against as a kid is the manager of a big league team.

[NormanPride]

That's pretty cool, Ike. Were you better than them as a kid?

[Ike]

That's pretty cool, Ike. Were you better than them as a kid?

At the time....No...and probably I never was either, except in my own head. The person in question is AJ Hinch. I was 3 years younger than he was, and one fall when I was probably 13 or 14, I played up into a fall-league full of HS kids. He was on one of the teams in that league. I don't remember it, but from time to time I am reminded of it by my father and the guy who coached the team I was on, but apparently I struck him out in the only AB I faced him. I had no idea he was supposedly one of the best players in the state at the time. To me, he was just another guy with a bat.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

I remember AJ Hinch.

My Titans scrimmaged the Bombers when he was on that squad. Being the sucktastic back-up catcher and bullpen warmer-upper, I got tasked with calling balls and strikes. I rang his *** up on a couple of trash pitches. Needless to say, coach didn't let that fly.

And here I thought I was doing a good thing by teaching the young man humility in the face of overwhelming oppression.

Bah.

[olevetonahill]

To Yall bitchin about "GETTIN " old .
Ya wanta trade ? :pop:

[NormanPride]

No, it just means you can bitch more. :D

[stoops the eternal pimp]

like all the time

[badger]

There was some ad by Dairy Queen a few days ago that was like "help celebrate the Blizzard turn 25!" or something.

I turned to NP and was like "We're older than the Blizzard."

We be old now. :P

I've been walking up and down mountains for the last couple of weeks. I have two observations about the Swiss:

1. There's a reason they're all in amazing shape.
2. There's a reason they all seem to have knee problems past a certain age. My left knee is killing me.

[NormanPride]

Don't they all want to kill themselves? Or is that the Finnish?

[PDXsooner]

...you sit on your own balls.

[stoopified]

... you start having knee issues. :(By that standard I have been OLD for 20 years. :(

[diegosooner]

seems like lots of folks have knee replacements. Painful recovery but worth it in the long run.

[delhalew]

... you start having knee issues. :(

My knees were shot by the time I was 25. I think it's hereditary. My mothers knees are the size of cantalopes.

[Turd_Ferguson]

My left knee started bothering me about four years ago. I wound up having surgery on it for a torn meniscus. Doc said it was prolly something I did back in HS football, as it was torn bad enough, I'd been in the ER if I'd have torn it all at once. Surgery was easy, pain med's rawked, rehab sucked.

Oh, and my ball's are the size of cantalopes.

[GKeeper316]

... you start having knee issues. :(

mine have been ****ed up since i was 19... thank you marine corps.!!!

i aint mad tho... got to do a lot of fun **** along the way.

[bluedogok]

My dad had that done this morning, his left knee with the right scheduled sometime after.

[Soonrboy]

[ouwasp]

I felt a lot older the other day when my twins turned 17!

In another decade I'll really be old!

[MrJimBeam]

Old people fall down a lot. I went bowling the other day and on my second throw I tripped and fell down in the lane. I haven't fallen down while sober since I was probably 3. My knees hurt too.

[Frozen Sooner]

Don't they all want to kill themselves? Or is that the Finnish?

Pretty sure that's the Finnish, though apparently a disturbing number of Swiss throw themselves off of cliffs onto railroad tracks.

[NormanPride]

Well, if you're gonna go...

[Frozen Sooner]

Yeah, apparently it's a pretty certain way to go. The Swiss trains are so on time that you can even time your jump to get hit in midair.

You mix up your Viagra and Rogaine and your hair looks like Jimmy Clausen's.
