  1. I'm 53, most days I wake up aching and feeling pretty old (pain from
    spinal injuries), but after a hot bath I'm feeling pretty damn fine and
    ready for a bike and run session. I'm a pretty slow triathlete, but I
    can outdo most of the couch potato 30-year-olds, if not in speed
    definitely in endurance.
    Today in the mail I received my first issue of "Geezerjock." I didn't
    order it, and damn sure don't like the title, plus the rugby players on
    the cover are bald (I may be gray but I got ALL my hair).
    "Geezerjock?" damn sure the title ain't gonna win them too many readers
    HMPHHH!!!

    Falls into the same category as the now defunct Maine restaurant chain called
    "Roadkill Restaurant"

    I haven't thought much of the content so far, but I have no problem
    with the title.

    Maybe you ought to exercise your funny bone a little more... <g>

  5. I WAS... guess you didn't sense that?
    (but I've worked in the publishing industry, and it doesn't ring to me
    like a really sell-able title?)

    Marketing products depends a lot on how it is named!
    Yeah, they also have tried to sell Monkfish (flat angler fish) on restaurant menu,
    but could only sell it to folks who knew how good "Poor Man's Lobster" is I am
    really not a restaurant geeg, but like most triathletes, love to eat! Also grew up
    in New England although I am in Northwest now.

    How about the Chevrolet Nova being sold in a Spanish speaking country!
    No va, = doesn't go!

    Sorry, couldn't tell you were kidding, perhaps because the last couple
    of issues have been filled with "love it/hate it" letters about the
    name.

    Some folks take things waaay too seriously. <g>

    As far as I'm concerned, the name's not the problem, it's the content.
    Very weak, concentrates on covering Senior Games and such. No meat.
