The Buckets by Greg Cravens for August 23, 2015

Terrifying, isn’t it?

I remember finding out the jetsons, flintstones, looney tunes, etc, were reruns from before I was born blew my young mind.

I know exactly what you mean. Alas.

Ha! I flatulate in your general direction!

My mother once told me she realized that she was getting old when she could remember events from twenty years ago and I thought “Wow, that’s old”. I can remember twice that now and I’m not THAT old. Age is relative to where you’re standing and she is still old. . ;-)

you know you’re getting old when the songs you listened to in highschool are played on the oldies station.

Personally, Monty Python is ageless. (grin)

My wife just let our kid watch it. I thought she may have been a bit young to see the Castle Anthrax part.

In the 1960s, I used to watch a show called “The Roaring Twenties” a nostalgic drama about the Prohibition era. I suddenly realized with a start recently that it is now farther from the 1960s, than the 60s were from the 20s!

The screenshots on the TV looked “painted”, not photoshopped in. I wonder if Greg actually painted them in or if he applied some fancy filter to the original stills before pasting them.  Regardless, it’s a beautiful job.

I see now.

Wait ‘til you reach 70 — mind blowing! At night when I dream, I’m always about 30-40, and that’s how I think of myself. I’m always surprised when I look in a mirror..Great comic, Greg!

Seargeant! Fetch me the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!

I have never seen anything of Monty Python but that doesn’t stop me from saying that classics never get old.

I point out to my wife that listening to her favored 80’s music now is like her mother listening to 50’s music back in the 80’s.

I still have the mark from the glare she gave me.

As I always say …

Getting older beats the heck out of the alternative.

40 and still rip roaring funny.

I just hit the last year of my seventh decade on this third rock from the Sun. I think about the here after a lot now. Just this morning, standing in the kitchen I was thinking “What am I here after?”

Funniest movie ever. I can watch it over and over, anytime and as often as it’s on, and laugh throughout it even though I have all the scenes and most of the dialogue memorized. So many classic comedies will still have children convulsed with laughter; Charlie Chaplin, the Marx Brothers, Buster Keaton, Mel Brooks, the Pythons, ……..
