totse.com | What do you want to be like when you're old?

Agent 008 · #1 2008-07-22, 17:53

Old as in in your 60s - 70s.

What would you want to look like / be like personality-wise at that point?

Personally, I'd want to be like Trip Fisk. The Trip Fisk from the Cautionary Tales of Swords: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q_RpbaUU7NI

What about you?

Note to whoever moved this to HB: It's a discussion thread. If you feel the discussion is unworthy of your forum, that's your business. However, if that's the case it should be closed, with a message from you, so people know who to complain to.

If you're going to do things like this, at least take responsibility. I thought it was an understood rule that mods should let people know who is doing what, to avoid letting other mods take the blame.

iSoape · #13 2008-07-23, 00:37

Why was this thread moved to HB then back to here and then closed? It's a legit thread.

Also this...

MODERATOOOOOOR KOMBAAAAAAAAAATT!!!!i!!

Metaphysicist · #15 2008-07-23, 00:43

I'm the one who moved it. I don't know who closed it.

I didn't feel it was a discussion thread. It was only generating one sentence replies.

It still isn't.

However, I will leave it open for a while and see. If it starts getting discussion I will leave it. If not I will close it.

X61 · #16 2008-07-23, 00:43

I wanna act 25 forever.

iSoape · #17 2008-07-23, 00:46

By the time I'm in my early 30's, I would have liked to reached my doctorate in Biology. Maybe one or two kids, while I work as a University professor of Biology during the school year. I can only see myself as a scientist or a creating type profession.

jägermeister · #18 2008-07-23, 00:48

maybe a teacher. I'll say stuff like: " god damn kids, back in my day we had to...... etc "

Lord Valuemart · #19 2008-07-23, 01:15

I don't plan on being alive then, but in the off chance I am. I wanna be the sort of old lady that would sit around crocheting dildo covers just to freak people out.

Siu 3d · #20 2008-07-23, 01:21

Hopefully by the time I get to be that old, I'll have a good life to look back on. The last thing I want to happen is being that stereotypical grizzled old man that sits on his front porch yelling at the skateboarders and not giving 'em their frisbees back. I want to be the one that tells the cool stories to his grandchildren. I don't really plan on being rich or famous, just cool enough so that my family will want to call me every once and awhile.

TheVizier · #21 2008-07-23, 01:59

If I ever get that old, I would like to be joyful old man, surrounded by kids and still being able to drink and smoke once in a while. Be the kind of old man that has summer houses in some secluded beach, a nice couple of cars and a huge house that my sons will be fighting for and wanting me dead like the vultures they are. Still, if I make it to 2062 and watch the Halley Comet again (although I actually didn't, it was that year, 1986 I was born and it passed near earth), it will be full of win.

mizled · #22 2008-07-23, 02:57

Since Spurious has always seemed to me to be a gestalt of a drive thru lane at an online junk food emporium - I'll answer in a minimalist way... I single sentence packed with a modicum of meaning. I will want to be younger.

Jojoman · #23 2008-07-23, 03:12

I want to have a pipe hanging from my mouth 24/7.

high school janitor · #25 2008-07-24, 17:03

I want to spend most of my time sitting in a chair, looking at my beautiful property with my wife (who cooks like a goddess every night). Ill just sit there and contemplate every thing ,or go inside and watch the game. Ill drink on occasion and maybe smoke bud when alone. But whenever someone comes around, they'll come sit next to me and follow suit and just bask in silence until we make conversation and then ill give them the wisdom that most elders possess but never get the chance to convey. Ill also want a great life to look back on and tell about not some boring ass cubicle life.

Pretty much this.

I want to be contemplative and wise.

I also want to be spiritually fulfilled and therefore ready for death.

Failed Escape · #27 2008-07-24, 17:43

I want to live wild in a Norwegian forest, only entering society to buy pipe tobacco, and so people can gasp in awe at my huge old man beard.

I want to be dead by then. However, if I end up old, I want to be using lots and lots of drugs.

I figure, "hey, I'm old as hell, I've earned the right to be high"

People walking past me on the street would be like "Damn, that old man is trippin'!"

Fine, I wouldn't feel it anyway.

Nitrogen51 · #31 2008-07-25, 07:21

Dead.

Live fast, die young.

TruthWielder · #32 2008-07-25, 07:38

Hopefully...

I will be a solid and wonderful example of exemplary peace, tranquility, and wisdom. After spending the majority of my twilight age in contemplation, meditation, spiritual insight, and asceticism I will hopefully be able to teach and provide an example and solidying foundation for those around me.

SSFC · #33 2008-07-25, 11:46

Hopefully something like George Carlin and not a cranky old man who shits himself and falls asleep all the time.

Galbador · #35 2008-07-25, 19:41

Assuming I'm still alive I'd like to be living with my youngest son and his family and drinking heavily all day everyday (hey, I won't have a job I need to be sober for so why not?). Every single night I'll bet my 15-year-old grandson £20 that I'll be alive the next day and every single morning I'll offer a double-or-nothing for the next night. Then when I die I'll leave everything to him saying "I guess you were right after all".

I don't really care about my looks or my health at that age as long as I'm able to hobble to the nearest off-licence or possibly get wheeled there by my daughter-in-law who will despise me.

kevinwatkins · #36 2008-07-25, 19:49

No straw death for me.

I wanna do the whole wise old mentor thing.

bmxanarchist · #38 2008-07-26, 02:23

im gonna be the old man who sits on his old porch getting stoned, and spraying kids walking by with a hose and just be an all around asshole

nuclearrabbit · #39 2008-07-27, 12:45

I'm gonna be the classiest motherfucker you ever seen. Imagine me drinking brandy and smoking cigars in my personal library, wearing a tux and monocle, and discussing Dostoevsky with other classy motherfuckers.
