Laminar, you're 6 feet loads of inches. Is that 10 with each limb?

In my file of contingencies for every occasion, it says "Go for those glass hips" in the event of a mass assault by old people.

My height was just about the only thing I had going for me in that assessment.

This is poo poo. It said I could only take down 12, but I know that is wrong. I could mow down 90 year olds until I dropped from exhaustion. I'm sure I could take out 30+

My grandfather just turned 90 this year and I could totally kick his ass.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

Yeah, this is crap. If I had the inclination, and a damned good reason, I could take out 100s of the wrinkly little buggers.

The first person to make a virtual reality version of this gets my money. Also the 3rd-grader quiz.

Look, here's the thing. He's in great shape... for a 90 year old. But the man can barely hold on to my arm when I help him up and down stairs. One slight shove and he would go flying, be on the ground and hurt... either so bad he would be unable to get up, or at the very best, he would take at least 30 seconds to a minute to stand back up.

I seriously doubt he has the strength to punch with any force at all. A kick to the shins might sting, but it's not going to do any damage. A bite might be bad, but he lacks the strength to grapple someone before attempting to bite them.

90 year olds just cannot fight. No matter how many you have.


Now if it was a battle to see who could tell the most awesome stories about the 40s... then well, he would kick my ass. So it's all relative.

Totally. I guess it would depend on the 90 year old. Some have annoyed me pretty good.

I only got 18 on the 90-year-old quiz but I got a whole 20 on the 5-year-old quiz.

Looks like I hate little kids more than old people. Who knew?

5 year olds would be a much tougher foe then 90 year olds.

Really? I'd just grab one by the arms, and start spinning in circles, clocking any 5 year old who dared come near.

I think we should put the 5 year olds and 90 year olds in the deathmatch pit of death.

Got 31 on the 5 year olds. You people need to let all this "morality" business go when it comes to defending yourself against swarms. I'd pull a leg off a 90 year old and use it as a club on the 5 year olds.

I have issues.

This reminds me of a local news story a while back.

A 90+ year old man (former Army Ranger) got jumped by two dudes. Well one of the assailants died from a crushed collar bone and the other was just beaten badly.

I think certain 90 year olds could take all of us.

A year or two back there was a video going around of two guys trying to jump some older dude who was a WWII veteran--I think he was a Marine from someplace in the Midwest. This guy handed a beating to both the young punks. I think they caught the kids eventually, too. Can you imagine the shame of going to the local jail knowing you got your ass handed to you by some old guy? Talk about being somebody's b!tch. Fitting justice if you ask me. HA!

Then I'll switch to a tactic of using them as bowling balls and roll them to knock over incoming 5 year-old/pins.
