Boomers and Geezers (Almost) Survival Guide.

I realized this when it hit me that I understood nothing this sad story was trying to tell me until I had read it for the fourth time.

• ?
• When the Sun Sets!
• Handbook of Individual Differences in Cognition: Attention, Memory, and Executive Control (The Springer Series on Human Exceptionality)!

If I had read it better, to begin with, I would have seen that there were only 30 patients in the stupid study. Of the thirty people: Ten of the 30 already had warts or a bacterial infection. This is the part that just kills me. Did I mention this just kills me. Well, this just kills me…….. Can you imagine that??? And to add to the disgraceful ignominy of it all, this study was made in, of all disreputable countries, France.

Now we know why such a high percentage in the study shaved. Men who wear speedos should be subjected to corporal punishment and thrashed soundly with hickory or red oak limbs. No man sashaying around in a tiny slip of cloth like that should be viewed by the general public. We should give them a pass. It does get pretty hard to take when you see elephantine weight lifters and sumo wrestlers in tights and tiny wraps but we should also give them a pass because they are competing in their sport plus they are really big people and they can hurt you.

Everybody looked fairly fit with the exception of this big old lard-assed boy who thought he looked stupendous. You never saw such carrying on and strutting about. His gut was so large if you could have hollowed him out and kept him walking, you could have sneaked four full cases of bottled beer into the ball game, iced down, in his torso. He could be a walking tailgate party all by himself.

This boy had perfected super-gut and was tremendously proud of every pound. He knew he looked marvelous. Our man of the hour and perhaps the whole day had on a speedo. You could hardly see it because his belly had lapped it at least once. Fat overshadowed everything within fifteen feet of the boy.

It was a fitting end to a story about the dangers of Brazilian waxing, clipping and shaving. I imagined a horror scene in a movie with fifteen or twenty people working feverishly on Mr. Tubby trying to get all that horrible hair off his hide. Since I have no earthly idea how to share this atrocious sight with you I can tell you where to find it. It is poolside by a beach. Lots of pool chairs are in the background and a young trainer is leading the workout. There are several pretty women participating who are demurely covered in swim suit coverups but our hero is letting it all hang out.

He is the only one with a huge belly and whoever made the video kept the camera glued to him.

Aging Health Humor for Geezers and Boomers

On a laughter scale of one to one hundred this video has gone over the top. The thing has gone viral. I saw one copy that had been viewed three million times and comments on the post looked to be in Russian.

Maybe one day we will find him beached by the sea. Their coming of age seems impossible to imagine without the twin technologies of the Pill and transistor radios.

Grass, once delightful to inhale when lit, is now something Boomers move to retirement homes in order to avoid having to cut. By the mid st century there will still be about 16 million Boomers still kicking, however weakly. Their mothers were urged to embrace their roles as wives and mothers—advice many of the daughters reconsidered. The earnest Beaver won the cultural battle, but with the disillusionments of Vietnam and Watergate, cynical Eddie Haskell won the war. Boomer males have the distinction of not needing barbers either in their 20s or in their 70s. In their lifetimes space travel has gone from being incredibly thrilling to incredibly routine to incredibly non-existent.

They are the first generation for which rolling stones have had nothing whatever to do with moss. Among their other achievements, they created booms in sales of porta-cabin classrooms, Army surplus clothing, cohabitation, and station wagons. Once they hit their 30s and early 40s they sold out, became yuppies, consumed a lot, and saved little. I always enjoy reading your mindset articles.
