Grizzled Old Men

[Taco-Calamitous]

Aren't they awesome? These past four days, I have been taking a course that was taught by one. He has been fighting forest fires since he was 16 (before child labor laws) and his mannerisms and speech made it sound like he was always mildly annoyed about what he was saying. He also had that low, raspy voice... and a gray mullet and mustache. Some people might not have liked him, but I did, because I think grizzled old men are awesome.

I mean, look at Clint Eastwood. You can't go wrong with Clint Eastwood. Also, there was that one Saturday Night Live game show skit about who was the most grizzled old man.Of course, you don't want to cross them, and they're not gonna put up with your bullshit, youngster. When I grow up, I hope I can be just as grizzled as them.

Who's your favorite grizzled old man? Mine is Walt Kowalski, as of right now, because I don't remember many others. Also, please tell awesome stories of grizzled old men. Anyhoo...

Toshiro Mifune... He's the Japanese version of Clint Eastwood and he looks like he could kick Bruce Lee's ass ten time over...which converts to twenty times Chuck Norris' ass.

Sean Connery.. old and grizzled, but still looking sharp. His voice is one of the most recognizable voices in the media. I bet he still has luck with the ladies. How old is he now.. 900?

Sam Elliott:



^ In that particular picture, that's him playing the role of the Stranger from The Big Lebowski, and to be honest, that's the only movie I've seen him in. I think he does fit the role of grizzled old man, because taking a quick peek at his filmography, he did seem to do a lot of westerns. Oh, and you can't go wrong with a mustache as awesome as what he has. :3

Good things await me in the future.

I can't say I share the same enthusiasm as the rest of you do. I am a cocktail waitress at an oldies night club. So I tend to deal with the bad side of old men on a rather regular basis. Drunk, and mean lol. However I DO like that they tip better than younger people.

My favorite old guy is this regular I have named Tim. Such a good tipper, and he always likes to tell me how when his SS starts coming in he's going to marry me. It's adorable and all jokingly but still.....funny.

I also love Sean Connery....;-)

Creepy.

I think "grizzled" old men are hilarious, but I wonder what goes through their mind. How can you hate youngsters, when you most definitely were one yourself. Don't try to play like when you turned 18 you were instantly full of wisdom.

I find old asian dudes to be hilarious because they are stereotypically all in good health and shape, and they are quiet and have a good appreciation for things but still have a great sense of humor.

Sam Elliott has also been in Tombstone and We Were Soldiers that I've seen (and he was pretty damned grizzled in the latter, heh.) I've heard he actually lives around here, and people have seen him at a local restaurant on occasion. Say he's really nice.

How about Cid Highwind from FF7? Though he's really not that old or real...Harrison Ford is getting up there now, though. He was grizzled when he played Jack Ryan in Clear and Present Danger, 20 years ago.

I also remember this one old guy my friend told me about when she worked at the crazy old person home. He was always a jerk to everyone, and no one wanted to deal with him. One day she was working with him, and he was giving her crap, so she was all like "Shut up old man! I'm not taking your crap!" And he was like, "I like you!" Then some later day, he was being forced down the hallway to breakfast, yelling, "I don't wanna go to breakfast! Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!" Then he saw my friend and was like "Hi [friend]!" and then continued on down the hallway yelling "damn it damn it damn it!"

As for why old people don't like young people, it's because young people are stupid. And once you get older, you're not stupid anymore. It's the same reason why some members who have been on a forum a long time don't like newer members, and the age difference is even smaller there. Anyhoo...

Thank you, boy. I appreciate the kind words. My grizzled looks make me proud to be a man. If I were a woman, at my age, I'd be saggy and deflated-looking. Instead of looking like an old bag, I look like a distinguished badass. This is the reason why I dumped Sondra Locke and married a woman thirty-five years younger than me. It's the reason why all old men tend to hunt after women half their age. We're just too good looking to be seen with old women.

Hellz yeah! Cid was everything the pissed of old guy in any game should be!
"Make them some damn tea!!"
However, in teh real world, mah favourite would be my 7th grade
Social Studies teacher, Mr. Bolejack! He wasn't quite old then, but he must be by now! He taught a fighting class in the school, used words like "burly", lived in the woods for a portion of his life, and named his kid Leonidas Bolejack. Yeah, he was extreme! But then the school fired him for being a free-thinking teacher.

Old Snake, Sam Fisher, they're the ultimate video game bad ass.

Even in real life I've talked to and heard stories from several people who served in WWII. Technology and weaponry wasn't as high tech. And wow those are some horror stories gotta respect them.

[Block]

I can't believe we haven't seen this man yet.

Forget grizzled old men.



Grizzled old men with eye patches is where it's at.
