When Tony Hawk is like 50 fucking years old. This popped up on Youtube and made me feel old as shit, really inspirational at the end.

Speaking of which, the RIP Tony Hawk or "tell him Tony Hawk died" memes and pranks have been going strong into 2018.

I don't understand why Tony in particular was selected for this RIP meme. I guess he's that beloved a figure to many of our generation and it creates the most "oh man!!" factor because he tugs on everyones childhood/young adult nostalgia.

Judging by your old and new avatars, I'm going to say that comment on your name is correct!

I'm almost 40 and I put my socks and underwear on standing up everyday as a test. It's getting harder and harder (the socks mostly).

I'm 48 and also do this. It's OK as long as I'm awake for at least 5 minutes before I try it. Otherwise it's time to lean on something.

You're taking your life in your hands daily. Someone is going to find you one afternoon with your head cracked open because you fell against the dresser.

ya a few years ago I noticed I was sitting on the bed to put on my socks and I was like fuck this. i workout regularly but my stretching was lacking, which was the sock putting on bottleneck, so now I stretch fairly regularly.

this is not out of the realm of possibility, i'm married though so my body should be found pretty quick, imma start putting socks on before underwear so if that happens i'm found butt ass naked with 1 sock on.

I'm 33, I'm pretty sure I've never stood up to put my socks on. Why would you ever do this standing up? The underwear at least makes sense

Shit, it is harder. Noticed but hadn't noticed. 38 in a couple months.

I'm not even 40 and I sit down for sock on putting. Fuck trying to balance on one leg while half groggy from sleep. Yeah, I'm old, get off my lawn! :p

I'm almost 37 and didn't notice these kinds of issues until the last year or two, at 32-33 everything seemed normal. It seemed like I aged 10 years in a few years, it is a weird feeling.

The other thing is having no grey hairs last year to having a fuckload seemingly overnight. I don't like it.

I've put socks on while standing and while I don't like it, I never thought of it as a challenge. I use the shoes and socks time to stretch. I flex the hips while putting on socks, then put the leg straight out to tie the shoes and warm up the hammies for the day. Underwear always goes on while standing. The times i did it seated or laying down it was bunched and rolled up. Fuck that shit.

46 here. I recently discovered 3DS XL screens are really, really small and I can't read text of some games like Xenoblade Chronicles. Damn

When people talk about "memes they grew up with" and you're like "I grew up with Atari and Voltron."
