Old Fargers Corner

Yeti · July 18, 2006, 02:31:28 PM

Alright. Time to admit it. I am about to turn 45. I pulled my back out riding my quad the other day. When kids pull up with the music blasting I think to myself "I wish they would turn that down." When they smoke up their tires in the parking lot I think "Theres no need to drive like that." When young girls come outside half dressed, exposing their young bodies I think "They should put some clothes on....................."

OK that last one is bullshtein, but all tha rest are pretty true. Somewhere along the line I seem to have turned into an Old farger. And as a result I feel it is now my right to bitch about how things are today, and how great they were "back in the day."

If you are an Older farger, please share your thoughts and memorys. If you are not,

Get the hell off my lawn.

I remember thinking I would quit smoking when cigerettes reach $1.00 a pack. I remember driving my mini bike up and down Interstate 95 when it was under construction. I remember Gas being 48 cents a gallon. I went to the Philadelphia Stars games. Now they were champions, I'll tell you what. I had a 1970 Mustang Fastback that put all these new cars to shame. I remember Hershey Bars were a nickel. I went to the parade when the flyers won the Stanley Cup.

Twice.

Wow, that was a long farging time ago.

I need to take a nap.

I'm only 31. But I've been a cranky icehole for all of those years. Do I qualify?

Cigarettes were $1.25 a pack when I started. They were more than 6 when I quit 3 years ago, and they are now as much as $8, depending where you go (in NYC).

I was at a free outdoor all ages rock concert this weekend, and I all but hated it because of the under 16 set. Annoying little fargs. For six full songs of one band, about 20 kids cooed "whoo, whoo" in unison, mimmicking chorus from one of the first songs, completely disrupting the music. I wanted to punch them all dead. Little fargs are too young to know the difference between cheering and disrupting.

People drive way, way too fast on my block. It's a residenctial city block, stop signs on both ends. 60mph is unnecessary. And if someone doing that hits my cat, and I'm around, they'll be calling their lawyer from a hospital bed. I've got money for a lawyer too, and no record.

A guy parked his car on my block three days ago with so much bass thumping that all of the wall hangins in my apartment vibrated like blown speakers, and every car alarm went off. No farging reason for that shtein.

I could go on.

Two of my closest friends little brothers have already been married and divorced. That shtein kind of makes me feel old, but mostly jsut makes me laugh at their dumb asses.

What really makes me feel old is going on a 3 day drinking binge and have a 3 day hangover afterwards to match. I mean seriously, who the farg is hungover for 3 full days? That shtein never used to happen to me.

The little bastiches across the street think they've started a garage band. They play the same two chords from Green Day and The White Stripes for about an hour, then they take turns jumping off the roof and onto a trampoline. I watch them from my desk here, camera ready to go the first time one of them gets seriously injured.

They constantly cut through my yard since I'm on the corner, and they just dump their trash under the nearest available tree or bush.

I swear I knew those same kids growing up in the early 90's. Are you stuck in a time warp?

Caltrops are better. They don't ruin the grass, or blow up your sewer line.

My car got egged last night. In this damn heat by the time I woke up it didn't matter what I did. Of course I drive an oxidized 93 Tercel but its the principle.

PoopyfaceMcGee · July 18, 2006, 04:58:27 PM

No offense... but why would punk kids bother egging a '93 Tercel?

When I egged cars as a youth (silent "h"), we'd go to the synagogue and egg all the Beemers and Mercedes.

It was a neighborhood deal I think. My buddy next door has a brand new Acura and he also got hit as well as all the cars down the street.

Blanket eggings are lame. Young whippersnappers should learn to target luxury autos only.

rjs246 · July 18, 2006, 05:07:08 PM

Drive by eggings, plaguing PA?
