You can't! You don't have a flag! That's the rule! [:D]

[RUPD3658]

I thought what you needed to have was the conch

[AW1Steve]

Nope. Ya gotta have a flag! Ask Eddie. [:D] 

[BrucePowers]

Actually I saw a flag with my family crest on it in an online store once. Does that count?[:D]

Hi all,

ORIGINAL: Charles_22

I met a lady geezer at Walmart today. Perhaps I was older than her, difficult to tell, but she had the symptoms down in over'drive' so to speak. The one thing I absolutely hate about Walmart is those idiotic motorized carts that so many lazy people hop aboard. At first, I thought her geezerhood was confined to herself, but later I met somebody else, or at least I think it was somebody else, who was doing the exact same thing. What was that you ask? She was backing the bucket of bolts up about every minute, therefore it would emit that awful "world look out, I'm backing up now" beep. I didn't get a good look at her, because I try real hard to not look at people that disgust me. I'm maybe four rows down from her and was still hearing it.

So, wouldn't you know it, she got in my grocery line. At least I thought it was her. I'm not sure it was though, because the otherwise piercing alert noise was very muffled. Either she broke it with overuse or it was not her. Just like a geezer though, things just had to be made more annoying, so this lady was backing at the increased rate of every 30 seconds at that point. Now why on earth would you keep backing up while you're waiting in line, unless you're some weirdo that gets off on annoying people? It's too bad I wasn't in one of those things myself, then maybe I would had thrown the thing into reverse and pretend that I couldn't get it out of reverse and ram into her. That would be sweet and it would also confirm myself in a higher geezerhood, that being the inability to control something electronic. 

Motorized carts?!?!?! [X(]

To add to the responses, these carts are larger, or at least higher than a go-cart, but smaller than a bumper car at the fair. The occupant is wholly exposed, unlike bumper cars with sides.

Indeed! Are you saying that the old crook (not his son, the young crook) wasn't a geezer? Spell check will tell you if the word or name is spelled right. It doesn't tell you if you chose the right one.You never heard the poem "ode to spell-check"? [:D]

Putt not you're trussed inn spell chequers

You missed one. The 'not' should be 'knot'.

Motorized carts?!?!?!

Yep, since many Americans are achieving girths that make even the most dedicated Bavarian pretzel and beer aficionado step back, stores such as Walmart are providing these poor dying slobs motorized riding carts so that they can spend their money on junk before they croak. Oh and some honestly disabled and elderly people use them also. My experience is that 80% of the users are the aforementioned Jabba the Hutts. Obesity IMO is a terrible disease and I sympathize with those who struggle with it but enabling people to avoid even modest exertion drives me nuts, specially since my health insurance rate is surely dinged by these unhealthy lifestyles.

Dear God, I'm geezing[X(]

To stay on topic, any notes of IJN Geezer officers of note?

Thanks guys!

Oh my... never thought something like that exists (it most certainly didn not when I last visited USA)... [X(]

The carts are designed for either handicapped or people of limited mobility. For instance , when my mother 1st lost her leg , she used one till she could be fitted with a prothesis. The carts are not as tiring as a wheel chair , nor as difficult to manever. They were not designed for overly fat people , but some people are now calling that a handicap. [8|]

[BrucePowers]

We need to get back on track abot WITP geezers. How about MacArthur?

[Onime No Kyo]

Oh wow. The geriatric jumble is back.

What are you old fogies doing online. Shouldn't you all be reminiscing about the good old days when the Dodgers were in Brooklyn? [:'(]

Claire is a must on the list. I think Lee was pretty even-tempered, just a potty mouth. Mitscher maybe.

I'm inclined to excuse him. He was having one heck of a day. [:D]
