He's got Father Time whimpering in the corner from using only his scowl. Oh God we should turn this into a Chuck Norris facts thing but exclusively with time!
Fought off a stroke and soon to be a centenarian in December. They don't make 'em like that anymore.

They'll be lucky if they can find viable surfing venues within a hundred miles of most Olympic Games (Rio would be an extreme exception). Can't wait to see them surfing in Lake Michigan…
