The Dirty Ashtray » Whoever Said Age is Only a Number and Only a State of Mind Can Kiss my Ass.:

I never realized I was old until one day, when I was laying down to go to sleep, I made this long sort of, 'arrrrrrrrrrrr' grunting sound. If I'd then added, "boy, my dogs are a-barkin'" at the end, I would've been my dad. That's when I noticed that pretty much no matter what I do, I make some sort of grunting sound to accompany it. When I sit down, when I stand up, when I reach over to turn on the nightstand-lamp.

And every action has its own distinct sound. I think two old men could always tell what each others doing, even while blind-folded. "Put down that remote, I'm listening to that!" "What remote?" "Don't you try to fool me, sonny, I recognize the reaching-over-to-the-coffee-table groan when I hears it!" I think it starts at 30. You stretch your back and, for the first time, it just doesn't feel right without that, "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh" as punctuation.

Well, that, and those weird ear-hairs that I've got going on.

QuickSilver is an interesting thing.

Obligatory Parentary Advisory:

Mac Mini: The Emperor's New Computer:

So is the mini a maxi value? For me, clearly, no. When I consider that a good deal of my time is spent running applications like Disk Defragmenter, Scandisk, Norton AV, Windows Update and Ad-Aware--none of which are available for the Mac platform--it doesn't make sense for me to "switch" to a Mac at this time.
