I just found out that instead of the short week I expected, I get to drive from Milwaukee to damn near Fargo and stay until next Thursday! My reaction?

Yeah man. That's me.
Pretty fucker huh?
Probably 10 years ago, but not much has changed. Deeper forehead lines. Few more pounds. Still no Grey!

(17,984 posts)I'm going to find a pic of me with my Motorhead shirt. I can fit in then...as a roadie or somethin.
Glamrock
(11,803 posts)47. Right around the corner from 72.
You're 72 and dig Motorhead? You just might be the coolest dude on this forum!
ProudLib72
(17,984 posts)Cuz if they don't, I might not be able to stay!
In my truck I have a USB stick connected to my stereo, and I listen to Zeppelin on a continuous loop...unless I decide to stick in a cd with Motorhead or T rex. Call me limited, but I know what gets me moving!
Check this out. My pussy hat made by DU's own Crazycatlady. I am not showing you my grey hair.
Glamrock
(11,803 posts)And you ain't no 72! 52 maybe. You had me going.
Question: On a fight between Lemmy and God, who wins?
ProudLib72
(17,984 posts)I wasn't born in '52! I promise I was born in '72! Sometimes I act like I was born in 2015.
Glamrock
(11,803 posts)Damn. I insulted you!
Great answer on the Lemmy joke! You saw right through me!
ProudLib72
(17,984 posts)Gen X, baby. I'm damn proud of it!
Did you see that post maybe a month ago that featured a news article discussing the different generations from The Silent Generation up to the present, but they totally left out Gen X? Yeah, that's the way I want it to be. A secret club.
Glamrock
(11,803 posts)And right there with you. Gen X Leo.
Yeah. I did see that. And was like, wtf. You missed a huge generation man. Piss poor writing. But that's the media we have nowadays. Pathetic.

Ferrets are Cool

(11,803 posts)Ferrets are Cool
(21,116 posts)Glamrock
(11,803 posts)I've been trying to talk my wife into getting a ferret for ages. They're not cool. They're awesome! Had a drummer that had 3. Greatest creatures ever!
Ferrets are Cool
(21,116 posts)yes, they are awesome. We have been rescuing them for 20 years now. We have never had less than 3 and sometimes as many as 7. Unfortunately, ferrets are an "impulse buy" with most new owners not knowing how much care is required to keep as pets in a responsible manner. Thus, they are tossed aside early in their lives. We have rescued ferrets from abandoned homes, parking lots of fast food places and have driving 400 miles to pick them up from foster homes.
I say none of this to brag, but rather just to hint at how much we love them. If you ever do get one or two, hide all your valuables...they are little thieves. But in a good way.
Glamrock
(11,803 posts)A singer I played with had one too. You shoulda seen the stash behind the dishwasher!
Kinda worried that she'd say yes. I've got 4 cats and a dog. Not worried about the dog. But the cats?

(17,370 posts)Next time I go to the salon I will just ask for the glam Rock!
Glamrock
(11,803 posts)I've got natural blond highlights, especially in the summer. My wife hates me for it.
MLAA

(11,803 posts)I kinda figured that was coming.
If it makes you feel better, I hate my hair. Poker straight and baby fine. If you break wind near me it gets tangled and knotted.
Hopefully that helps.
Jane Austin
(9,199 posts)Neither can I.
Glamrock
(11,803 posts)Thanks Jane! First laugh of the day!
LakeArenal
(28,883 posts)Sounds like a dream, ey? Snow shoes packed? Husky dogs on standby?
Travel well, our friend!
We'll leave a candle on.
Fortunately, looks like it's gonna be on the 40's while om travelling. So there's that.
But thanks sister, much love.

(86,948 posts)you're driving away from the lakes! And you're already on the west side!
Glamrock
(11,803 posts)But I'm just not seeing it....
But thanks anyway 2na!
But let me give it one more try...
I'm over here in Montana and it's starting to warm up and it's gonna get to Fargo before it gets over to Milwaukee!
Have a safe and pleasant journey anyway.
Glamrock
(11,803 posts)Thanks hon. Appreciate it!
2naSalit
(86,948 posts)without a posiiive outlook to begin with. Have good one!
Glamrock
(11,803 posts)It's more about the lack of notice. I've got 4 days of clothes for example.
2naSalit
(86,948 posts)not having notice usually happens when it's also time to do laundry! Well, if that's the worst of it, you'll be fine.
Midnightwalk
(3,131 posts)Maybe you can stop in Brainerd and see babe the blue ox. If that really exists. Probably should stay away from the blue ox motel. I hear theres suspicions characters there.
Glamrock
(11,803 posts)Hopefully far enough away from them shady folks.
