Who's More Grizzled?
Well, it is 2011 now. A new year. And unless my research is off, this is the most recent year on record here in the modern times. But in the spirit of Larry King and John McCain and that SNL skit with Robert Duvall and Garth Brooks many moons ago, I can't help but think there are still a few grizzled folks among us. Modern day tough guys, kind of like in the olden times, as some folks might say. So I decided to find out whose grizzled and who is not. Or just to come up with some stupid list to entertain myself.
Here are five reasons why I am more grizzled than you. Feel free to make your own five.
1. I refuse to own a coffee maker. I just boil mine on the stove the way people did in what I like to call the "old school days". If I swallow grounds, so be it, my ancestors used to live in teepees and fight grizzly bears or something in -40 below weather, this is the least I can do.
2. I can tell when a storm is coming from the pain of an old bull riding injury. And an old wrestling injury. Make that several of both. Ok, when half my body is racked with pain I know it's going to rain or snow. Or that a sprinkler is about to go off. I made that last one up.
3. I once had my heart broken by a poet, she was the most beauti" sorry that was wistful, not grizzled, my bad. Moving on"
4. A few years ago, I broke my leg performing my Festivus feat of strength, I walked around on it two days before my uncle dragged me to the hospital. You can also file this one under me being more stupid than you as well, but I don't want to talk about that anymore.
5. I have a left pinkie that regularly dislocates. When it happens in public I just snap it back in and continue talking like nothing happened. I have used duct tape as a splinter for it before, which is probably the most grizzled thing I have ever done.
