Albert Brooks did a hell of a lot more than that!

If that's an average, I'm fucking it way up because we get one almost every week.

AB out here, picking up the slack for a bunch of lazy Americans who can't bother going to the store to buy food that's already been cooked for them.

Hey, don't hate. You need cooked chicken for a recipe? It's the bomb.

Maybe your heart just isn't in this threesome thing after all.

I buy them once every couple of weeks. Roast a few potatoes, make a half-assed salad and voila, a 3 course dinner.

In June 1972, King was an ex–FBI agent working as a security aide for the Committee to Re-Elect the President, or CREEP, Nixon’s campaign arm. His duty on the week of the break-in was to protect—and keep a close eye on—Martha Mitchell, the talkative wife of Nixon’s campaign director, former Attorney General John Mitchell, while the Mitchells were on a campaign swing in California.

Martha Mitchell, an outspoken Arkansan dubbed “the Mouth of the South” in press reports, had been complaining vaguely to anyone who would listen about campaign operatives carrying out “dirty tricks” against the Democrats. So when she learned that James McCord, the security director of CREEP, was among those arrested at the Watergate—and described by her husband to the press as a private security contractor who was “not operating either on our behalf or with our consent”—she called a favorite reporter, United Press International’s Helen Thomas.Enter King, who “rushed into her bedroom, threw her back across the bed, and ripped the telephone out of the wall,” wrote veteran Washington reporter Winzola McLendon in her 1979 biography of Martha Mitchell, to whom she was close. “The conversation ended abruptly when it appeared someone took away the phone from her hand,” Thomas reported. “She was heard to say, ‘You just get away.’”

I say this now, but I promise I'll mean it just as much when I'm 90, but I have no interest in living much past about 90 at least not based on what I've seen about what living past 90 looks like.

Isn't Stan Lee still doing ok?

There's also a federal judge here who turned 90 last year. He seems to be loving life. Or, at least he seems to love ruining mine.

My worst case scenario is my mind being ok and my body failing. Give me super alzheimers over ALS every damn day, son.

My Great Uncle made it to 101, and he was in great shape until the last few months. Never lost his wit, or his mind. I think the last 15 years or so were his happiest, but that is because his wife died. Man, was she a world class ball buster. My wife's Great Aunt was in great shape until 93. Smoked like a chimney, too. She never lost her mental faculties, other than her filter. That woman did not give a fuck!

Sounds like Sybian will likely be the last Swamper to die. Turn out the lights when you leave, ok?
