Bullets, Ballies, Toppies, Geezers, Buzzards, Wrinklies, Crinklies,
Old Buggers, Oxygen Thieves, The Ancients, Stupid Old Duffers, .......
YES, THAT’S US, WE ARE THE OLD GUYS, ........ AND OLD GUYS RULE!!!!
Call us what you like, we don’t care, because we know better. We are THE OLD GUYS and we have seen and done and forgotten more stuff than today’s kids will ever dream of.
We have “been there seen it done it all, and sometimes done it twice,” (who can tell me what Kevin Bloody Wilson song that comes from, and if you don’t know who Kevin Bloody Wilson is then there is no way that you qualify to be an “Old Guy”).
The Old Guys of this world have the wisdom, the experience and the knowledge of The Ages which is exactly why “Old Guys Rule!”
We have paid our school fees in life and set down our markers, and now we “Know Stuff”, like how the world thinks, how machines operate, how women work, and what Donald Ducks’ middle name is. It’s Fauntleroy by the way. Don’t believe me, go look it up.
Old Guys know how to do clever things, like open non-screw top beers with another beer only, or in extreme cases, with just a R10.00 note. They are the guys who know how to make a braai fire that doesn’t smoke like a 7th hand Toyota Hi-Ace on the overrun down Van Reenen’s Pass, and how to ride the Roof of Africa for 3 days straight and never ever get arm pump or thumb blisters. Old Guys are the guys who know how to stare down a Wildebeest, reach backline in the rip without effort, get out of a Puffadders way, drive a manual car without a clutch in traffic, and how to paddle out at Cave Rock and not come back with your board in 6 different pieces.
Old Guys have the passion of a life well lived like the Guys that were out hanging ten at Waimea Bay 40 years ago, the experience of Guys who have fought wars, and the wisdom of Guys who have made earth shattering things happen,.. and survived it all and still live to tell about it.
Woodstock, ... Vietnam, ... The Rocky Horror Show, ... Life before the interwebnet, ... Drum Brakes, ... Beers without screw-off tops, ... MX bikes with 3 inches suspension travel only, ... and walking on the Dark Side of the Moon, yes, it us OLD GUYS cruising around today that made all that and so much more happen.
We are the guys who paddled surfboards out into 50 foot waves ..... before there were poncy Wave Runner Jet-ski rescue craft huzzing around all over to save your arse when you got it wrong. We are the guys who paddled out whatever the weather or temperature, before Wetsuits were even thought of. We are the guys who watched Endless Summer, Big Wednesday, and On Any Sunday all as brand new films at the outdoor movie Drive-in Theatre in beat up old Hot Rods that we built out of scrapyard parts that today would condemned for being on the roads but were our greatest transport.
Old Guys are the Guys for whom The Gunston 500, Larmont, XT500, Lightning Bolt, Safari Surf Shop and Spider, IT495, Rega Planar 3 and Linn Sondek LP12, Smuggies, The Little Chev, Firemans Arms, Ford XR6 Interceptor, The Barn, Yasgur’s Farm, Luyt Lager, and Corobrick Park .... are all hallowed words.
Old Guys are the Guys who have lived a full and meaningful life, and can reward themselves for years well spent. An Old Guy wearing an Old Guys Rule T-shirt is a man rewarding himself for a life well lived, and a youngster wearing an Old Guys Rule T-shirt is someone showing respect to his elders and betters.
An Old Guys Rule tee is a symbol of a wise man who has been there, done that, and literally got the t-shirt. It is the mark of a man for whom the saying “No guts No Glory No Scars No Proof” is a mantra.
Our all round neck tees are made from 100% pre-shrunk cotton, come in sizes M-5XL, are created to last and undoubtedly look good too. They are clothing made just like they did back in the good old days. What more could you want?
All slogans and prints on the t-shirts have a certain amount of irony, as well as wit. Yep,
that’s because us Old Guys are Real Funny Guys too.
Some guys don’t like to wear such a statement, so Old Guys Rule have created other products such as stickers, whiskey flasks, mugs, pint glasses, beanies, key rings, whiskey tumblers and even socks!
So, whether you are a MR. Miyagi “wax on wax off” Old Guy, or a Bear “A day will come that will be like no other” Old Guy, or a Gary “It’s funny, but it seems like the more I practise the luckier I get” Player type of Old Guy, wear your OLD GUYS RULE shirt with pride, because OLD GUYS really do RULE!!!
Old Guys Rule T-shirts, you guys have earned them!!!!
