I love the vanity plate, Tressa. My husband's 'vette plate is "123GONE". You will not believe what a cop magnet that is!! He gets tickets just because of his plate!

"OLDKID" is perfect. What policeman is going to pick on an old kid?

The Motley Crew is perfect!! Ain't it the truth?

So far all I've got is "retirement communes" (too hippy) or "golden girl houses" (too much like a sit com).

"old geezer frat house" isn't right, either.

Maybe "silver fox den" (but that sounds affected).

Let's brainstorm... surely someone has a better suggestion! Who knows, maybe we here at city-data could be responsible for coining a term. Because this is going to be a trend that everyone's gonna be talking about. Any ideas?
McLoony Bins.........you'd have to be crazy to want a bunch of room-mates at this age. Instead of college with people sleeping on the floor half-naked after a party, you'd have people sleeping on the floor because they could not get up (and I'll spare you the visual of "half-naked").

Instead of arguments over "Who drank the last beer?", I can see walkers flying over who took the last Colace and forgot to call the Pharmacy to reorder. Yep, I think "McLoony Bins" fits the bill.

This one's flying over my head. A reference from a book or a movie maybe?

Hi, I did a Google search for "Alterkocker" and it's a Yiddish word for Old F**t. So Altakocker Manor would translate into Old Fa**t Manor...cute, but I think I'd prefer something along the lines of Wise Acres.

I love the old f...t one. Patchouli Flats? Cant remember how to spell patchouli oil, but he smell stays with you for a life time. We named the dog Motley Crew. He is a 260 lb English Mastiff and the name just fit him. His sister is Fiona. She looks like an Ogre.
