That's real frucking smart. He's eighty goddamn years old!

They obviously didn't consider the actual child, because I don't think Doohan's got a lotta years left. So, the kid will be like 6 and his dad will be 8-fucking-5.

He'll have a Grandfather for a Dad.

always end up saying "Don't forget the big heavy eyebrows." Then they would all get embarrassed because they remembered they had the big hunky eyebrows too, and then they would get mad and eat the snowman.

I was sceptical about the article since it first appeared in the Daily Star.

Whenever people agree with me, I always feel I must be wrong.

Magnus, relax dude. If he's in great health at 80, then he might be just as good at 100. Life should be celebrated not mourned :P

And please tone down the language...this ain't the flameboard ya know.

Oh great. Now someone whose 80 is navigating his way through the magic muff forest, and hear I am undergoing divorce proceedings with my right hand. Life's crap.

Why exactly are you cheering 'go scotty'? Because he's 80? And having a kid?

That kid will never be able to play catch, play wrestle or do anthing but fetch his grandpa, er, dad his wheelchair and strained peas.

You have quite a few prejudices about 80 year olds, Magnus.

Ultra Magnus, my father celebrated his 85th birthday this past October. He is my biological father. I will be 21 in April. If you do the math, he was 64 when I was born.

I never played catch or wrestled with him when I was little. He has had severe arthirtis for most of my life. But you know what? That didn't matter to me back then, and it still doesn't matter to me now. Yes, I indured some ribbing in elementary school for having a father who was older than my mother's parents. I never went on Father-Son campouts with my dad when I was in the Cub Scouts.

None of that matters to me for one simple reason: my father loves me. He has always been there for me; he is a great man. If things could be different, I wouldn't want anyone but him at that age being my father.

I have no doubt that James Doohan is going to love his child. As long as there is that, he has my full support.

Magic muff forest? Oh, that's brilliant. I must find a way to use that one in daily conversation. Not that I even get a chance to talk about it, much less...er, where was I? Oh, right, kids and stuff. Uh, babies are nice, when you can hand them off to their parents at the first sign of trouble.

Dad and I passed a football once, as I recall. We went fishing a lot when I was little. I tried to return the favor, and take him fishing a couple of years ago, but I think he was already starting to feel bad at that point. My buddie and I fished, catching nothing. Dad talked to the guy running the place. We stoped and visited people, on the way home, which was his favorite thing to do, so I think he was happy.

It's not something to bring up in front of the girls is it?

"Hi Sophie, I'm lost. Could you please give me directions to the magical muff forest?"

You'll then find that knee-mountain has driven down the vally of pain to pay a visit to the valley of the bollocks.
