Geezers,
I am putting together hockey and basketball brackets for NAUCC. If you want to be on Team Geezer, let me know.
What is the age limit? What experience is needed?
…now what did I do with my cane?..
Do you get up in the middle of the night to pee?
Have you ever seen Lucille Ball in something other than re-runs?
Do you know who Billy Carter is?
If you answered yes to any of the above, then you are a geezer and have all the experience you need.
Let the timekeeper hold your cane.
Seriously, I don’t see you as being registered for either Hockey or Basketball. If you are registered for NAUCC, I can add you to either event.
I see I meet all of your qualifications except that I registered as a non-competitor. I expect to be busy doing NAUCC support type stuff.
I am GEEZER. Hear me wheeze.
Count me in.
Will there be Hockey sticks to share?
I am pretty sure I don’t qualify for geezerdom yet – I’m only 39. Do I have to wait till next year to join you guys? If not, count me in!
David, I don’t see in as being registered for hockey and basketball. If you are planning on registering, you are welcome on the geezer team. I asked my kid if 39 was a geezer. He said, “Yeah, duh.”
Steve, congratulations. You made the cut. I am hoping sticks will be provided. I am working that out now.
I have a bunch of the street hockey sticks here at home, they’re under $10 each. Unfortunately I can’t convince Harper to drive them out this time.
I would happily reimburse for one if someone wants to pick up some extras but I’ll only end up donating it at the end. Even though I’m a righty, I prefer a lefty stick.
BTW, for those that have forgotten, Geezers took 4th in Basketball in Minneapolis.
I’ll contact Memphis Club and see about getting reg’ed for Hockey and Bball. I’d love to play – they’re so much fun.
I’m glad 39 qualifies as ‘geezer.’
where’s my bloody Geritol? I can’t see anything with my new bifocals.
No unispins for me at NAUCC. It aggravates may gout.
Never played unihockey but my pop had his first coronary on the ice back in '76.
I didn’t know Harper was coming. Last I heard he had to go to a Star Trek convention or something.
Good. I will pencil you in.
So are you in or out, old lady?
It’s the “or something” part. I have to save vacation time and money to go to Thailand later this summer. I was going to bid on cheap airfare at the last minute to see if I can show up for the 10k and trials competitions. I doubt if anything will come of it, though.
It happens
Does a movie count? 
The maker of Billy Beer?
I don’t know if I’ll be around or available during the hockey or basketball tournaments, but I may join in if I’m not otherwise occupied. Please pencil me in as an alternate or something. Since I’ve played on the Geezer team in the past, I guess I’m old enough…
Podzol’s in.
I may not be very good, but I’ll be a good sport and won’t hog the puck. I may get a lot of penalties for roughing, but I’m careful about high sticking… when I think the ref is paying attention.
What kind of pedals work best with skates?
I was looking forward to meeting the famous (infamous??) Mr. Harper since I did not get to meet you when I was in Seattle a couple years ago.
Team Geezer now consists of:
Steve (unibrier)
Tommy T. (TMornstar)
David S.
Blake K (Podzol)
Bill H (Jethro)
And hopefully
Richard W. (Wheel Rider)
John Foss
I am not sure if I am old enough even though I know who Billy Carter is. Not sure if I saw LB in reruns or originals, and never get up in the middle of the night, unless it happens in my sleep.
If you are 39 and grew up in Georgia, you probably drank Billy Beer and saw him pee in the street.
at 33 I doubt I fall under the classification, but I’ll happily volunteer to be the youngest on the team for hockey! - assuming I can borrow a stick & wheel that is…
Otherwise I can enter as Team Limey on my own, run around the pitch attempting to kick the ball, lose horrendously but valiantly with a stiff upper lip. (there’s a football world cup prediction in there…)
Tommy says I can play.
Sign me up for hockey, that looks easier than basketball. (At least I know I cannot throw a basketball in the hoop if my life depended on it. )
