End up? Hmmmm – I said to a friend recently that I wanted to end up as the eccentric uncle who lives an alternative life. He looked at me and said “Too late, you already are.”
I fear I am barely even a coot in training. My great uncle was a genuine crazy old coot: he lived on a houseboat, except that it was on blocks in the middle of a Miami Parking lot. He would drive cars until they died and then converted them to filing cabinets. He had no phone, so the only way to reach him was by calling the junkyard next door and asking them to go get him. He kept a written log of everything he did during the day for years, including writing down that he was writing in his log.
It warms my heart to think that it might be hereditary.

i once had a day dream that i was a 70 something year old nut living dressing my pet tarantulas up as a bride and a groom and taking them to Sears to have their portraits done
Have you seen the animated short film that won the Oscar this year? Harvie Krumpet – it’s an animated clay-mation production that showed a guy with hard luck doing just that.

For some reason that made me think of this poem ;p
T’is an admirable goal without doubt!

That’s kinda the idea!
Sounds like a plan to me! I always said (when I was younger) I wanted to be the eccentric old guy at the end of the block.

Better than ending up a congressman!

YOU KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN!
Dang tootin!
But, um, er… doesn’t Mr. Six count as a crazy old coot?

Re: Dang tootin!
Commence to Jigglin!
YES! exactly, except that’s what I hope to yelling at the trees.
Thank You!
Hey I wanted to tell you that I stopped by that coffee bean shop you Bloged about once before for some Chai tea, they were great and it was good!
uh, well, nay…….
….no worries there then, right?
It’s not such a bad fate.
Well, I don’t *aspire* to being “that cranky-ass, crazy old biker with all the cats”, I just figure that’s where I’ll wind up.
If I’m lucky, I’ll wind up with a nice big house that can be filled with lots of crazy old bikers and bears and all our cats. đŸ˜‰

That’s kinda the idea!

Oh great! It’s a great place – and they deserve the business.
Skedaddle you whippersnappers! SNap that whip?
A prescription for jolly sunshine happiness!
LOL! I see you got your night-vision goggles. For night-jigglin’
Fantastic! We need more queer coots (coutes?)
A crazy old coot? Just as long as you keep on being yourself, Nayland – it wouldn’t be any fun if you lost yourself along the way.
Heck, maybe I could even join you. What is it Kerouac used to say? “There’s your karma, ripe as peaches.”

Welcome to the club.
I hope to justify your faith!

You prove yet again your uncanny resemblance to Madonna!
Oh no, wait, she justified my love…
I hope to justify your faith!

Not having to work for a living so I can spend most of my time on my motorcycle as greasy stinking scooter trash.

I could get you a copy if you like. It’s magic. I love it – and I think I’ve watched it upwards of about 30 times now showing it to people!
