[Matt Algren]

I'm in with the surest sign of over-the-hillness: The combover, illustrated here by current US Senator Carl Levin in his OFFICIAL PORTRAIT.

Seriously, Carl. You're not fooling anyone.

[Bouncing Boy]

I'm in with the Mel Brooks character, the 2000 Year Old Man

[MacQuarrie]

The thing that clued me I was "over the hill" was when I finally had to face these:

Dibs on bifocals.

[Matt Algren]

I'm in with the Mel Brooks character, the 2000 Year Old Man
BTW, Brooks and Reiner are bringing it back on HBO (http://blog.taragana.com/e/2009/06/29/mel-brooks-carl-reiner-to-remake-2000-year-old-man-12521/).

[Tages]

Count me in with Hamburger Hill.

[Cei-U!]

I'm in with one of the best super-hero parodies to come out of National Lampoon: P. J. O'Rourke and Nick Cardy's Decrepit Comics starring Bat-Fart. I won't spoil this story's pleasures by giving away the plot but if you *really* want to know what'll happen to the Darknight Detective when he gets old, P.J. and Nick give us a realistic--and devastatingly funny--answer.

Cei-U!
I summon the Bat-Nash!

[StoneGold]

I'm in with Tony Stark, who in this image is over the Hill.





Maria, that is.

[Michael P]

I'm in with Uncle Scrooge, who didn't really peak until he was in his 80s.

[howyadoin]

(shrink?)Don't say I never did anything for ya:

[Tages]

Don't say I never did anything for ya:

Thank ye kindly.

[Donald M.]

I'm in with Ear Hair.

[Spike-X]

He may be getting older, but he's anything but over the hill. Here's Bruce Springsteen, at 59 years of age, headlining the Glastonbury Festival earlier this year.

[b..]

Dibs on Morla from the Neverending Story - so old that not only is he over the hill, he is the hill.

[Mermaid]

ha! That other bloke looks like Molly Meldrum! Either way, over the hill is appropriate.

[Mac Danny]

I am in with Bill Clinton

He is totally Over The HILLary.

[Justin K.]

My themed avatar is taken from the music-video, Natural Blues, by Moby, where he is portrayed as an old guy, reminiscing on his younger years, in a retirement home. He is then taken into the light by a woman in white, which is what my avatar will show. Old-guy Moby went over the hill in the video, that's what I intend on portraying.

[Cei-U!]

Just a reminder, justinkos91: you have to use your avatar (all week) to be eligible in the voting. Posting it as an attachment doesn't count.

Cei-U!
I summon the helping hint!

I know that.

[jessecuster3]

I am in with actresses who people call "over the hill".


Here it is represented by:

Monica Bellucci
Mary Louise Parker
Diane Lane

[Justin K.]

Actually, I resign...
Event going on in X-books, so...

By "people," I assume you mean "morons."

[StoneGold]

I am in with Bill Clinton

You totally ripped off my pun!

[Mac Danny]

You totally ripped off my pun!

[Clinton accent] Nah..I just made it sexy.. my wife.. she's hey..[/Clinton accent]

ripped off, inspired. I thought it was different enough.

[StoneGold]

ripped off, inspired. I thought it was different enough.

Don't worry about it, it is. Otherwise, everyone else is just ripping off old people.

[Donald M.]

Besides, I interpreted the two versions of the pun differently and others might interpret it the same way.

Considering his conduct in the Oval Office, I'd say Bill's been over (the) Hillary for quite some time.

[StarsAndGarters]

I'm in with what I think (possibly foolishly) would be the best thing about getting old: distinguished graying temples. Hal Jordan had it for a while, Earth-2 Superman had it, and probably the greatest example, Reed Richards.

[thehod]

A good sign of being over the hill is the standard mid-life crisis, best shown by the buying of a big red sports car shaped like a huge penis in the deluded sense that hot chicks will suddenley find you utterly irresistible.

Which reminds me, I haven't taken the Porsche out for a spin in a while. With the weather being so nice and all, I can put the top down and become an instant fanny magnet.

[The Thunderbird]

Can I enter my avatar? Jean Grey is obviously far from old, but the concept of killing her off repeatedly (why can't they just keep her alive) has gotten older than the dinosaurs. In other words, it's gone over the hill.

[section 8]

I think I'll enter this one, with the 94 year young, Jack LaLanne

You forgot Nick Fury.

[StarsAndGarters]

You forgot Nick Fury.

Fury's hair is equally awesome, but multiplied by the eyepatch, his cool is off the charts.

[Mac Danny]

Voting Time.

I am surprised there were no "Death Panels" this week.

My Vote Goes To Section 8 With Jack Lalane

[Michael P]

jessecuster3 and his pretty ladies.

[Matt Algren]

Bouncing Boy

[Slam_Bradley]

JesseCuster3 went close to where I was considering...but in better taste.

[jessecuster3]

Bouncing Boy.

[Cei-U!]

Another vote for Section 8 and Iron Jack... though if there's one thing Mr. LaLanne is *not* it's over the hill.

Cei-U!
I summon the human equivalent of the Energizer Bunny!

[jessecuster3]

Oh yeah and Tages, they never went "over" the hill, they went up it and died.

[howyadoin]

Donald M. Ear hair trumps all.

[Perry Holley]

Cei-U! gets my vote for using Bat-fart.

[MacQuarrie]

StarsandGarters. I'm starting to go gray, and so far it's mostly on the temples. God willing, I will end up with the Reed Richards/Nick Fury look. If not, my hairstylist will have to make it happen.

[Donald M.]

Cei-u
_____

[jessecuster3]

Yeah, its kind of all over the place this week.


With one vote: Donald M and StarsandGarters

All tied with two votes: Section8, Jessecuster3, Bouncing Boy, Cei-U


Next vote for one of those 4, takes it.

[Cloudman]

section 8 wins!

[jessecuster3]

Excellent, Section 8, please choose the next contest.

[MacQuarrie]

Paging Section 8. Section 8, please report.

[Michael P]

Paging Section 8. Section 8, please report.

I tried PMing the lad, but his box is full.

[section 8]

Sorry been sick, been busy, only had time to drive by post every so often.

(also didn't think I stood a chance in this thing)

So how do it work I start a thread or announce it here?

[section 8]

I'll wing it

27-31

[Tages]

Oh yeah and Tages, they never went "over" the hill, they went up it and died.

Precisely my point.
