Rappin' Granny and Life Savers Wint O Green Mints Turn 90

10:59 AM PT, Nov 10 2008

I wish either of my grandmothers could have rapped. Whatevs. Well, my nanny could swim 80 laps in the pool every day till she was 84 and went surfing when she was 80. So take that, rapping grandma. I don't know why I think everything is a competition. I need to work on that. Perhaps therapy. -- Christie

About the Blogger

Christie St. Martin

Christie St. Martin was born in Bermuda and educated at two Canadian universities that would prefer not to be mentioned here until she supplies them with healthy building endowments. An uber-geek and proud of it, she established herself as an Internet presence with All Things Christie, a blog that managed, with its quirky and unabashedly self-indulgent links to and commentary on whatever struck her fancy or her ire, to attract small legions of readers, fans and would-be stalkers. Her interests were as they are: myriad and eclectic, though certainly given to a particular fondness for the tech-y, the game-y and the kitschy. She is her own organizing principle, a kind of mad surfer on the crests of cultural lunacy, alternately acerbic, ecstatic and unintentionally insightful. She has since blogged for VH1's "Best Week Ever" and Exhausticated.com, providing her usual melange of cheek, snark and occasional observation. Christie also contributes to LAT's Hero Complex blog.
