OMS: Old Man Strength
The supernatural ability of old men to complete impossible tasks and make young "whippersnappers" and "
damn teenagers" look like
pathetic wusses.
OMS grows in direct proportion to how
much he just-doesn't-care-anymore. The less an Old
Man has to lose,
the further he can throw you. Subsequently, the older the better.
Remember when
Robin Ventura (age 25) charged the mound on Nolan Ryan (age 46)? The next thing
you know, Ryan has Ventura in a headlock, beating his face in. Yeah. OMS. Need I say more?

War 2, Jack Palance, Clint Eastwood, Grandpa Gustafson
