Poor Kid!

So we're changing jets last night and there's what's called an 'unaccompanied minor' waiting at the gate for a rep to escort him to the next gate.

This kid is probably 12 years old, max.

He's got a mowhawk, doc martens and a "Misfits" t-shirt on.

I say, "Hey! Cool! I was just listening to 'Halloween II' by the Misfits while I was waiting for the aircraft to arrive!" (true)

"YOU listen to the 'Misfits'?"

"Sure! Geez, it's not like I wear a hat and a double-breasted blazer on my days off, ya know!"

The poor 12-year old kid looked like his world of originality and rebelliousness just got ruined by a 33-year old 'stuffed shirt' who liked music that he liked.

He's mostly likely going to end up burning his t-shirt once he gets home because an 'old guy' likes punk music.
 
LOL...thanks for ending his teenage years, Doug...

Reminds me of when Bill was at TWA, he had a 'Kenny' (from Southpark) sticker on his kit bag and he was walking down the terminal in STL and a girl who couldn't have been older than 12 or 13 says "Look mom, that pilot has a Kenny sticker on his bag!".

He had to turn his head so she wouldn't see him laughing.
 
I always thought it was neat when older people thought that my music was cool. But then again, I didn't have a mohawk, doc martens or a Misfits t-shirt.
 
I remember being in the infantry, and thinking that those Corporals were old as he11 at age 21...lol. As a Corporal, I remember saying to myself, "Those darn Staff Sergeants are ancient"!!!

Now, alot of my friends that I cussed, brawled and drank beer with are Gunnies and Lieutenants - with a few Captains in there! Out of my old crew, we have school teachers, a doctor, a couple of pilots, a convict...and one of the meanest, beer-drinking-est grunts I knew has a Masters in Finance from SIU and counsels vets for the VA.

We're all gonna get old one day!!!

hehehehe glad you like Llyod.

Even though I could easily pass for 18-20 yrs. old I'll be 30 in 2 yrs. Then I'll be that old guy at the club trying to pick up on the young 18-21 yrs. olds.
I think that I'll need to be medicated.

I had my first geezer moment when the Ataris came out with their cover of Boys of Summer.

There were some kids who were talking about how cool that song was and how talented the Ataris were to come up with that song.

When I told them it was a cover, they had no clue. And they wondered what the Philadelphia Eagles had to do with anything and what position Don Henley played with them.

Kids these days, I tell ya.

Philadelphia Eagles???
 
Don Henley played in the Eagles.

I got a blank stare when I said his name, so I said, you know, the Eagles?

And that's when the Philadelphia Eagles came out.

I just had my wisdom teeth removed this morning. I am SO medicated. I'll share things I was told I did after the surgery back home while on STRONG medication:

- Getting out of the car walking into the house, I walked into the Japanese Maple Tree.
- When given a popsicle, I drew it on my face. (messy)
- Acted like Dracula, (blood included)
- Laughed at everything that wasn't funny.
- Was told to sit down by brother, but walked in circle 4 times then sat down on couch.
- Too lazy to get towel for dripping blood so put blood on my sock.


I took a good 4-hour nap. Cleaned up and I'm not acting so dumb now. But this medication is soooo great!

Oh, had your wisdom teeth out, you poor thing!

I had mine out when I was 17. It sucked.

Take it easy, and no drinking out of straws (drinking from straws can lead to dry socket). Eat lots of jello & ice cream.
 
Oh, man. I feel bad for you.

I had the novacaine when I had my wisdom teeth yanked. The strangest thing was watching the dentist use a hammer and chisel to break my teeth and then watching him use a huge pliers to yank them out. And while he's doing all this, I'm only feeling a tugging sensation.

Very strange.
 
Thanks Amber and Tony.

I'm hanging in there, it's a little sore, but I'm sooo relaxed. I've been drinking lots of fluid, with NO straws. Thanks for the heads up.
