Boys and Girls:

I am an old worn out fart. I am way on the other side of life, much further than you all.

I enjoy every day coming to Tiger Droppings and getting my LSU news and to the OT getting some news but mainly knowledge on how you youngsters think and view things.

It is truly a pleasure to this old man. I love LSU though I could never afford to go there. You that did need to count your blessings.

Occasionally I'll post something on here and you young know-it-all punks down vote my arse. Fine, but believe me, a man who has been around long as I have, been through the shite I have, often times knows more than you think you do.

I was fortunate to have been raised by a two grandmothers who knew and saw some shite. They were children of Confederate veterans and the stories handed down to me were priceless. They made it through wars, depression, having lost husbands while still having very young children in the house.

I learned that old people's wisdom is worth it's weight in gold. You should learn this as well.

So thank you all for knowledge, humor, news, and making the day for my old tired arse.

Remember though, I ain't putting up with any of your shite and if you come on my lawn and piss me off, an old man won't fight fair.

God bless all of you.

Merry Christmas old timer.



Some good advice old men have given me:

“Never pass a bathroom or waste a hard on”
“There’s three things you can’t trust: politicians, weathermen, and farts”
“At the end of the night, eager beats pretty.”

We appreciate you. Don't take the know it all punks like myself and our downvotes (I am pretty sure I never downvoted you, I don't really use that feature) person. Its easy being a tough guy behind a computer screen.


And Geaux Tigers!

Remember kiddos, the older they are, the shorter the life sentence is.

Old man strength is real

My Pops taught me that when grown folks are talking you shut up and listen. It wasn't a suggestion or an option. He also taught me to respect and value my elders, which was also not optional. He always had time to listen and he valued what they had to say. I still do the same to this day, because it is not optional, it is expected.

Take care of yourself, ol' man. You seem like a decent one.
