Gertrude Baines, world’s oldest person died at 115.

Nurses at Western Convalescent Hospital described Baines as a modest woman who liked to watch the ‘‘Jerry Springer Show’’ and eat fried chicken, bacon and ice cream. She refused to use dentures.

‘‘I don’t know how she does it. She only has her gums, no teeth,’’ said Susie Exconde, the nursing director who found Baines dead in her bed at about 7:25 a.m.

Witt, her physician, said that when he visited Baines earlier this week, she only complained that her bacon was soggy and arthritis was causing pain in her right knee.

I’ve always been afraid that this life of self-denial might turn out to be for naught.

Bring on the BACON!

Dr. Melik: This morning for breakfast he requested something called “wheat germ, organic honey and tiger’s milk.”
Dr. Aragon: Oh, yes. Those are the charmed substances that some years ago were thought to contain life-preserving properties.
Dr. Melik: You mean there was no deep fat? No steak or cream pies or… hot fudge?
Dr. Aragon: Those were thought to be unhealthy… precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true.
Dr. Melik: Incredible.

That was the exact dialogue that came to mind when I read your subject line.

Then there’s:
Alvy Singer: Sun is bad for you. Everything our parents said was good is bad. Sun, milk, red meat… college.

I think Rappstar is aiming for 150

I know a smoker that lived to be 100, too. Not going to take up smoking, though!

That said, I do eat way too much bacon. I share it with my dog. One day, I hope to become the person she thinks I am!

:-))

I thought about the docs offering Woody Allen a cigarette when he woke up in the future in Sleeper. Ahhh. Wouldn’t a long, deep drag on a KOOL be just awesome after knocking out that six hour ride?

it is not about how long you existed in a present body… if that would be a goal you probably would wish to be a baobab tree

Had she not eaten all that bacon, she might very well have made it to 116.

Yes, but who would want to go 116 years without bacon? That would pretty much be my idea of purgatory.

or, if she lived to 115 and ate bacon (fill in whatever she did that you want to do) i can do it and live to 115 too!!!

I see. And I stand corrected. Sorry for being out of line.

115 years, or any number of years without bacon would lead to a very unfulfilling and meaningless life.

Some smart MFR’ on this forum, will capatilize on the idea of bacon flavored energy bar that halps us race as fast as Rappstar and help us live foerever…
