Movie Quotes – Day 121

John Gustafson: You’re supposed to be smoking filter cigarettes.
Grandpa Gustafson: I’m 94 years old. What the hell do I care?

Grumpy Old Men

There is a happy medium between living on bird seed and spring water and shoveling lard and flour into your mouth and washing it down with gallons of beer.  I should eat better, but I also need to have food that I enjoy.

But once you’ve achieved a certain age or stage of life, there’s no shame in saying “Screw it!”.  Enjoy a good smoke.  Have that extra beer with a dish of rich ice cream.  Once nobody depends on you, enjoy life in all of its glory.

    Hey DB,

    I would rather live until 71 partying my behind off then live to 77 being bored silly if you know what I mean. We will eventually check out, why be bored or “super safe” all the time.

    Eating only “healthy” food (the stuff the government colludes with industry to say is “best”) might extend you life by a few years, but is that really living? I’ll eat what I’m hungry for.
