Good times! I forgot to get the name of your podiatrist.

I went to a Red Wing store the other day looking for a belt and they have one of those scanner things to determine what insole I need. Any of you guys ever try one of those? I didn't do it because I knew my doggies was stankin' after work and the woman helping me was way too attractive to be working at a Red Wing store.

Not to praise Sam Kinison—a truly vile and cruel person, on stage and off—but he had a bit in the 80s in which he imitated a shout-y old man: “DOES THIS HAVE SALT? DOCTOR SAYS I CAN’T HAVE SALT!”

I think of that every time I feel old-person aches and pains.

This is somewhat reminiscent of the Boomer Dude character that often shows up in episodes of Regular Car Reviews. "GARR THEY DON'T MAKE 'EM LIKE DIS NO MORE NOPE NOPE"

But you let in Jimmy Tarantino! (Gyuh-hyork!)

We should just start a general "How are your feet doing?" thread at this point, gawd we're all so old now.

If memory serves me right, I think there was a “signs you’ve gotten old” thread of some kind.

Or maybe there wasn’t. Memory is the first to go, after all.

I get Gronk and Grok confused.

Reverb's search has either gotten flakey or I didn't notice before. Old listings are also pulled more often, when it used to seem like they stayed forever.

I shouldn't look at Reverb this much
