My brain tells me I am 30.
My calendar tells me I am 57
My body tells me I am 75
My retirement account tells me I need to be 18 again.
I think you win the Internet, for today!
Ha, so you must love hearing that Beatles song “When I’m 64” lol. What most people don’t know is Paul McCartney wrote that song when he was 16. At 16 everyone over 20 seems old. I was reading an article about Dick Van Dyke last month who is 96 now. He said he quit smoking when he was 78. That is the LAST thing I needed to hear lol lol
Good post...!
Here’s a little(no pun intended) LeBeau. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnslrB8QT-g
That shall always be a classic TV series. Reminds me wistfully of the halcyon days when America was still America. Very melancholy. Repose en paix monsieur Clary.
Friday night TV was The Wild Wild West followed by Hogan’s Heroes.
> Can you imagine trying to pitch the show’s premise to network bots today? <
I always had mixed feelings about ‘Hogan’s Heroes”. I found the premise - that the Nazis were a bunch of funny, bumbling fools - to be repulsive.
On the other hand, the guy who played Col. Klink was a true comic genius. From his mannerisms to the way he delivered his lines, he was great fun to watch.
Yep, I know exactly what you are talking about, but you know what the cure is? Exercise. Like night and day. I have experienced it first hand. It takes a lot of mental discipline, you have to be dedicated but last year I said F it and went back to the old habits and Mr.Softee returned lol lol Weight gain in the gut also destroys.
It helped with the record-keeping. Numbers are easier to handle than names. Also, using numbers helped with the dehumanization. It was easier foe camp staff to see them as numbers rather than names. Everything the Krauts did was unbelievably wretched.
I would love to see a screwball comedy with that storyline!
There might be a Cameo appearance with George Bush redoing that scene where a shoe gets thrown at him as he stands at the podium. Missed him bythat much!
I always thought if they did a final episode it should be about klink and Schultz knowing what the prisoners were doing all along but they were part of the resistance.
Libido of an 18 year old but 82 year old prostate.
Wheels started coming off at about 75. Aside from non-fatal wear and tear damage, still truckin’. Doc says whatever you are doing, keep doing it. Soooo, bar is open and smoking lamp lit!
The whole cast was made up of jews that wanted to make the nazis look as bad as possible. Sad.
That rich French food did him well, wow 96! RIP. Loved that show.
There with ya…
IIRC, Klink was a German Jew and Schultz was an Austrian Jew. The producer was also Jewish. I’m paraphrasing, but when asked how he could play a Nazi Klink said something like I’m an actor, I accept roles (I don’t turn them down). I’m sure it helped that he didn’t play a very evil Nazi and Hogan outfoxed him at every turn.
Why did the Nazis tattoo arms? Was it just to humiliate?

It was to mark them in case they escaped.
My grandfather lived to be 96, father died during WWII.
I am 92 and feeling quite good, trying for 96, heck make it a 100.
I had no idea he had survived three years in the death camps. He’s due much more respect than I ever knew to give him.
