Fifty Plus (50+) - Be vewy, vewy afwaid!

Yes, this is the year...

September 11th of 2009 will not only commemorate the tragedy of 9/11/2001, but it will also usher in a new tragedy of truly epic proportions...Chipcom turns 50.

I'm warning you all now, and I'll make sure to give you periodic warnings between now and then, so you can use this grace period to age much faster (if applicable) to qualify for and start a 60+ forum. You thought Pcad was bad? Pcad is wussy. Be afwaid, vewy, vewy afwaid, you wascally fossils!

We older folks don't scare easily:D

Turned 50 4 years ago...growing old ain't for the weak of heart---just getting out of bed in the morning is an adventure. Still don't feel any younger, say,...than 48, though.

I will come to your door dressed as the reaper... on a bike, of course)

That's because you have forgotten how...in addition to forgetting your name and where the potty is. :D

Hey I'm ready for it...but when you come, please bring a list of all the good buffets that give senior discounts.

This is pretty difficult news to wake up to. I'm going back to bed.

So how are you going to aclimatise to this "Elite" forum?

You do realise that It does take some training to let the "Young" bloods set the pace and disapear into the distance on the century rides. Thats takes a lot of will power to do but the longer you can hold on before you overtake them- the better it pi**es them off.

Then there is the Colonoscopy- Are you ready for one yet?

And then there is PIE. No need to mention this as you have been a lurker for too long- but what is your PIE of Choice?

I would say welcome- but there is no need to say that to an old face- and an even older member.

There goes the freakin' neighborhood. :(

Hey, leave my member out of this, perv!

There goes the freakin' neighborhood. :(

I'm not sure I could drive the property values any lower than they sank when you moved in, Gary. :p
Now get off my lawn!

You notice how some of the youngsters come to this forum full of p**s and vinegar but in time lose their vinegar and show their true colours.Maturity is how you accept that fact,some of us never accept!

No, I think they lose their p**s, too, as Jean pointed out earlier in this thread (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=517721).

I'm doing a ride out your way this summer. Rails to Trails Sojurn. (http://www.railstotrails.org/whatwedo/events/Sojourn/index.html) Any of it near you?

We older folks don't scare easily:D

Just you wait.:eek:

I for one am willing to welcome Chip. I've already entered his name in an AARP raffle.


I expect once you get here Chip that you avitar's wig will begin to show a bit of blue tint.

Welcome aboard chipcom, we need a little action around here.:thumb:

September 11th of 2009 < snip > Chipcom turns 50.

Actually, under USA Cycling rules, you're already 50!

Be afwaid, vewy, vewy afwaid!

Yeah, right.

So more on topic, what's your favorite kind of pie?

Hi chipcom,

These kind folks have already had several visits from pcad so I think they're more than ready for you. ;)

Now if Rich in Peoria shows up that will be a different story. :eek:

We were going to make this a +51 forum weren't we? :rolleyes:

Richard

Yeah, right.

So more on topic, what's your favorite kind of pie?

I'm more interested in his fashion tips. Given the pictures he's posted here, I think we could be crossing some kind of frontier soon.

I go for my regular colonoscopy in April. How 'bout I post pictures here so you can see just what you're in for...for the rest of your life.:twitchy:

Welcome to the 50+ life.:p

More likely, congrats on making 50 and still being "out there" as opposed to sunk into recliner chair petrefaction. Consider the endless road before you...all those sweet miles beckoning to you. At 61, I enjoy (and appreciate) those miles rolling by more than ever.

You lucky road dawg.....the best is yet before you!!

FOLKS, WE HAVE A SERIOUS ISSUE HERE: ACCORDING TO A SEARCH, CHIPCOM (HEREINAFTER KNOWN AS "CHEATCOM") HAS BEEN CHEATING ALL ALONG, WITH 402 POSTS ALREADY IN THE 50+ FORUM AND, YES, I AM CAPITALIZING THESE SENTENCES BECAUSE WE NEED TO SHOUT THIS TO THE WORLD.

FOLKS - DO WE LET A CHEATER INTO OUR MISTS, OR SHOULD WE DO A BLACKBALL - IGNORING ALL FUTURE POSTS?

Chipcom,

Avoid the pie at all cost. It is possible to do so.

Thank you for the "fair warning".

Ya doing RATL next month?

We were going to make this a +51 forum weren't we? :rolleyes:

Richard

Good idea, Richard.We should do so before September.

I for one am willing to welcome Chip. I've already entered his name in an AARP raffle.

Bless you kind sir, I will only kill you once...and I might even make it quick and painless.

No money, no honey, George. I ain't no cheap date. :eek:

Yeah, right.

So more on topic, what's your favorite kind of pie?

Chocolate Cream...ya know the kind us old farts ain't allowed to eat anymore unless it's made with all that no-fat, no sugar stuff that's probably worse for you than the fat and the sugar!

Go back to sleep, nothing to see here.

Welcome to the 50+ life.:p

I had my first colonoscopy at 46. I have always been an early adopter. :o

Yada, yada, warden....yada, yada.

Chipcom,

Thank you for the "fair warning".

Dunno yet...depends if I can find some good dope. :D

Yada, yada, warden....yada, yada.


I would think that if you delete 403 of those 402 posts, we could work something out.

As I recall we really don't have hard and fast "rules" for membership -- they are really more like "guidelines". Chipcom has been acting older than his age for quite a while now according to DnvrFox's research. I say if he wants to hang with this elite group seasoned with wisdom, it might actually do some good. We could admit him with provisional status, but the secret handshake and special password will have to wait. :lol:

After 50, if something doesn't hurt when you get up in the morning, you are probably dead.

By the time he gets here in 6 months, I will have no memory of having ever heard of him.

I thought yo wer capitalizing it because most of us cannot read small print...

TSC

how did he get past the dogs?

As I recall we really don't have hard and fast "rules" for membership -- they are really more like "guidelines". :

Don't you think it is about time?

I mean, "hard and fast" rules are about the only thing "hard and fast" I have going for me at 69+.

Let's just let the young guy in, he's o.k.

Is everyone agreeable with letting this youngster hang around here until the 50-candlepower day? And then, we have no choice.
Unless some new rules come into play........................................

That's because you have forgotten how...in addition to forgetting your name and where the potty is. :D

Potty location is one thing we never ever forget! I move that the forum name be changed to the 51+ forum. :D

This too shall pass.

HI,
Welcome to the almost senile forum, and remember age is only a number, or is it something else, I forgot.
The bad news is the wind is stronger over 50, the hills are steeper, and those pesky bike mechanics are always tweaking your brake lever so you can't go over 18 mph its a radio control brake.geeze...
Never forget to put metamucil in your coffee, its great for getting you going and then goin.
Doug

Those pesky padded pants can double as depends in pinch!

ps don't forget to ask for the Sr Discount at the LBS they forget to tell you about that.

This too shall pass.


Just like one of my kidney stones...

Just you wait.:eek:

I've seen scarier things than Chipcom:) Like the half-naked idiot that tried to get into my car while I was stopped at a railroad crossing:eek:

Yes, this is the year...

Young whippersnapper!

We'll be expecting the usual pie, blueberry by default, but make mine mince.

One rule of the 50+ forum. "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave...." ;)

You'll be 50+ for life. :eek:

Considering how OLD he sounded in those 402 post, he probably should have had a special dispensation to join at age 40.
