- triplesec 10y agoHis life was full of very low notes. And excellent ones at that.
- glandium 10y agoAnd he got to live to 82, it's hard to say it's too early.
- agumonkey 10y ago80 is my threshold digit for sadness. If you reached it without long debilitating condition or traumatic life, then, at least if I had the pleasure to get there, no complaints.
- honkhonkpants 10y agoCohen resumed smoking at age 80, because why not.
- coldtea 10y agoHeck, I will start opium at 80, because why not!
- mrkgnao 10y agoI never thought about this ... I've always wanted to smoke (the mechanics of the whole thing please(s) me on some level) but I suffer from asthma and a mild disinclination to lung cancer. Mind you, when I say "smoke", I mean the real thing, not vaping. Don't mind me, though. I hope I outgrow this at some point.
- inimino 10y agoOnce you get old enough your doctor can't really say no.
- agumonkey 10y agoFrom asthmatic to asthmatic, I never liked the slightest thing about smoking. Maybe the shape .. that's it. Last year I had a health accident, cardiovascular and lung in deep trouble, and for some reason, all of a sudden I started having strong smoking envy. Considering I avoided smoking because of asthma, being in lower health condition made these "cravings" somehow absurd. But there was something smoking represented: inhaling a gas that made your mind peaceful, just like proper breathing does, and my health deprived me of this, so smoking felt like the only substitute.
