The guy is about to turn 81, give him credit.
To: GrandJediMasterYoda
He’s cracked too many bricks with his forehead.

Wow...started training at age 61, fifth degree black belt at 81. Color me impressed.
To: ProtectOurFreedom
He started right when the IR became more involved in his life.

"The guy is about to turn 81, give him credit."I've got a dog about to turn 14 years old.
Maybe he could earn a bachelor's degree from UNH in the time he has left.
He's not very smart; he is a dog after all.
But he smokes a lot less dope than Willie.

Good for Willie. Just yesterday, I was in my friend's pawn shop, and he had some Willie playing.
I'm actually more impressed with Ed O'Neill receiving a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from Rorion Gracie.
To: billorites
He’s doing far more in his golden years than most people.

Finally made it to my brown belt after a number of years taking on and off. (Taekwondo) I say good on ‘im.

I don't know, I get the impression that holding a 23rd degree ultraviolet belt from the 3rd street bowling alley dojo or being acclaimed an exalted master of the Begonia Lane Shao Lin temple doesn't necessarily make one a martial arts expert. But I'm glad Willie is getting some exercise - very important for older people.

Willie is also hosting a fundraiser for the Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Wendy Davis. “Put that in your pipe and smoke it.” Hmmm ... maybe not, seeing what Willie puts in his pipe! Willie has gone downhill since his original album “Texas in My Soul” (one of my all-time favorites).

Yeah, his mind is gone, he’s a lib, but I love his music.

One of the proudest days of my life!
Took me five years to receive my first degree (Sho Dan) in Shotokan and another fifteen to reach my fifth degree (Go Dan).
(My sensei became an Olympic judge.)
At 62 years of age .. I have no desire to go higher though. (five more Dans)
Good for Willie!
