TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT — by Steve Nadis
First I saw “Rocky Balboa” — a story in which an actor too old to play a boxer played a boxer too old to fight. Then last night I saw the latest “Die Hard” picture in which Bruce Willis plays a guy too old to be jumping off buildings, trucks, and jet planes–yet jump he does, time and again. I kept thinking that, apart from getting shot and smashed up in car wrecks, for a guy my age or Willis’s age, just jumping 10 feet onto cement would be enough to put me out of commission. But somehow Willis withstood two hours of such abuse and much more, though every minute I expected him to say: “I’m too old for this shit.” Sitting there, watching these ridiculous action sequences for what seemed like the thousandth time, I almost said the same. Despite that, I was entertained. And for the first time in as long as I can remember at a movie theater, my eyes stayed open for the duration of the film.

So why is it that no one in the Statehouse up in Concord has expressed indignation, or even concern, over Bruce’s [mis-]use of their State Motto??

Personally, I think NH deserves a slice of the movie profits. (Heck, w/o the “Broadbase” we gotta chase it where we can.
As one who will not be slowing down in my 40’s (although probably not launching cars into helicopters…), I will submit to you that there is a number of fighters in Iraq who are in their forties… it would make a great Nike commercial if they believed in capitialism.
Hi MP — I guess ole’ NH got the shaft on that deal. Hello GS — I haven’t slowed down much either, but I’m not jumping into or out of moving fighter jets either. –SNAKE
