Chuck, Arnold and Sylvester all take
Tylenol too – way to go guys!
Last
night we laughed over and over again.
The old guys on the silver screen were … well… old… most of them at
least. They were acting in “The Expendables”.
All the old kickem, knockem, sockem, killem dead heroes of the movies
gone before were the new heroes in The Expendables.
Sylvester
Stalone was the leader of the motley crew.
He was joined by Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Terry Crews, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Liam Hemsworth, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Bruce Willis.
They are known as The Expendables – old school
mercenaries.
The movie synopsis “The Expendables 2” states…
quote…
Barney Ross, Lee Christmas, Yin Yang, Gunnar
Jensen, Toll Road and Hale Caesar -- with newest members Billy the Kid and
Maggie aboard -- are reunited when Mr. Church enlists the Expendables to take
on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and
his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things
go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are
compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked
against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction
through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat
in the nick of time - six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change
the balance of power in the world.
Alida
leaned over to me and said “I bet they all are sore in the morning too!”
That
pretty much summed it up for me as well.
Rolling out of bed in the morning my body kind of has to adjust to the
new realities – that it is old… and hurts in a lot of places.
To
think that The Expendables can hold a gun at their side that is almost something
that should be mounted on an armoured car… then blow away dozens and dozens of
bad dudes… jump down long distances and through windows and not hurt the next
day. NO way!
After
working on my snow blower I am hurting two days later! And as I sat watching these old dudes kick the
crap out of each of the younger bad guys… I agreed with my wife – they will
hurt too. In fact they have been all
hurting since making the movie.
They
really are not that old… except for Chuck Norris….

18, 1960

Alida
said something else from her observations in the movie, “Did you notice they
all have perfect teeth, and even after all that fighting no one lost a tooth.
They all have porcelain veneers!”
That
was when I laughed again… leave it to my wife to bring reality to what is
totally unreal!
Towards
the end of the movie Sylvester Stalone states the obvious about an old airplane
that they have just been given, “That thing should be in a museum!” Arnold Schwarzenegger responds, “We all
should be!”
Priceless comment.
Today
when I woke up… my back hurt again… but I smiled as I thought of Chuck, Arnold and
Sylvester – they likely are heading to the bathroom right about now too. They
will open the medicine cabinet and take out the Tylenol too… pop two in and
wait for it all to stop hurting,
Way
to go guys… you were amazing last night… have a better day today… it will stop
hurting after you move some more.
