Old but still awesome

[Wildrow12]

Maybe it's just my culture, but I love seeing older folks succeed.

Now check out this cat: 96 years old and getting a newly minted Masters Degree
in Philosophy.

Or this guy, who at age 84, FINALLY gets his high school diploma.

Kinda of reminds me of my Grandfather's words: "If you call me old, you only judge my flesh, boy. My mind is still young, and my soul is immortal."

Any of you ever seen or heard of anything inspirational coming from an older person?

I once heard about an old dude (In his eighties I believe) who fended off three teenage thugs with his cane. Quite badass.

I'm not to sure if it's real: I once saw an old, chinese man bring down like a 20 year old by hitting pressure points really fast.
Note: It was a demistration.

my granddad taught me how to play guitar, has cataracts and STILL hustles about 30 quid out of me at poker >_>.

he also taught me to listen to what people don't say, as well as what they do say

I remember a guy who I think was in his eighties was approached by two muggers, but what they didn't know was that he was a champion boxer in his day, and actually still really good at his age. So he beat the crap out of them, and they scurried home.

67 actually. He was born in 1942.

OT: There was this old lady who ran a bar and pulled a gun on a man who tried to rob her.

Obamas kinda old...but kinda cool.

 

[TriggerUnhappy]

Does this deal with anything? (People, music, etc) If so, I say Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Doors, Alice Cooper, Clint Eastwood, Sylvester Stallone, Looney Tunes, Alien & Aliens, erm... all I can think of for now.

Alice Cooper is my favourite old person. 61 and still shocking people and I get to see him live this weekend .

 

[Kellerb]

Love these kinds of people. very motivational.

George Carlin was pretty darn impressive. Making jokes, flinging around and being angry on stage. One of the best comedians and he was still so old. And then came the heart attack... If he goes to hell, he'll propagate for how it's not real, even when the devil sticks his pitchfork up his ass.
