Casting for Climbers Ages 45+

[Balboa77]

The producers of "The Office" and "The Biggest Loser" are casting for a new reality show about people ages 45-65 who boulder.... more info here - http://www.castingduo.com/boom

heh.

 

More like casting for ex-yuppies.

 

Why are people fascinated by late-life discovery?

 

Oh, yeah - the baby-boomers are getting old.

 

P.S. I fit your age range

[el jefe]

sadly, ewolfe, no personal discovery has yet occurred in your case. sounds like you are emotionally still stuck in 8th grade.

[ewhack]

the show has begun

[Dan_Miller]

By the show's producers thinking; surf instructor, rock climber, caterer, or florist are all essentially the same when it comes to mid-life crisis folks. I suppose that's essentially correct.

Being a florist is a lot like surfing cc.com because you spend most of your time avoiding all the pricks.

[G-spotter]

I'm offended that they equated boulderers and climbers.

[DirtyHarry]

"Ditched the 9-to-5 to become a rock climber"?

 

I didn't know "rock climber" was a profession. Shit, I've been missing out this whole time.

between the title of the thread and the name of the poster, I was hoping this was going to be for the much-anticipated Cliffhanger sequel

[DavidHiers]

Perhaps people are not nearly as fascinated by mid-life discovery as Madison Avenue is fascinated by the disposable incomes of mid-life people.

 

Us geezers do like to watch other geezers act like non-geezers so we can think that we're non-geezers. We've been known to buy a ton of crap to prove that we're non-geezers, too...
