Is he still there? Maybe he could be the rosenfeld (the one who took the marines planting the flag in iwo jima...OH RAH!!!) of our age.

I get your point 'cause I'm the same. I usually try to be nice or at least seem nice while I'm in the company of elder people like for example in the subway. I try to be as nice as possible without losing too much face. :hehe:
But some just starts to eye-ball you! Perhaps it's my "radical" looks. :crazy:

wow i didn't know old people can do that! :applaud:
