Its a sign of aging gracefully when everything was much more fun....when we. You all need to join the Legion and go bowling on Friday nights.

lol, so well put. Forget the legion and bowling though... I play hockey and still resist belonging to any sort of clubs like that. Of course, I also have all my old movies when I was in front of the camera that I can bust out to show my fellow geezers when I get to that point too.
Really, the reason for this thread is twofold.
First, to tip a hat and shake the hands of all my old compadres and maybe even a few arch nemesis' from back in the day when I used to be a regular on this board.
Second, to show the newer generations that the more things change the more they stay the same and the few tried and true players that lasted through it all, weathering the storms of shit that raged continuously, tend to offer the best contrast between good and evil. There are always going to be "sky is falling" doomsday prophets so it helps every now and then to give it all a frame of reference and provide some insights on how to survive the apocalypse.
And of course some of these stories can be pretty entertaining if you haven't heard them 10 times before already... ;-)
