Yeah I don't know why I said 40's that's not really that old. The guy just sounded like a 40 year old hipster db to me so I stuck with 40... The "get off my lawn" quote is usually reserved for folks in their late 60s --mid 70s if aged well-- and beyond. I think its mentally visualized by most people as the old man using a walker with tennis balls on the legs heading out in the morning to pick up his daily paper from the company that is only still in business because he is alive and still reads hard-copy newspapers, clueless to the fact that paper news is virtually non-existent for people under 35 today. I also visualize him out for his evening walk before dinner at 4:00pm, yelling at the school children just getting out of class to stay off his grass and slow down whilst shaking a menacing fist in the air as if to say he's ready to punch your young face if you don't obey his will. Who can blame em? If I stormed the Nazi pricks in 1944 I'd want to get my way too, and yell at people who weren't giving it to me. Particularly with the red scare afterwards, what an odd time this country was from the point directly after WW1, around 1920 on to 1980 when it got dull, then 2005 brought tech to the "masses" where it was just a geek think before. now it's cool to be into tech. Anyway, screw Tosh point Zero.
P.S. nice signature, I'm about to catch up on the latest two episodes 06 and 07 of Game of Thrones right now. Baelish is the most prominent influencing figure in the show, I think few people realize that... He has caused just about everything to happen by his will and manipulation I forget how but didn't he also start Ned's beheading and the war to follow somehow too?
