How Adam Sandler Celebrates His New Hampshire Roots

Oh, how we love the Sandman here in New Hampshire. He is one of us.

Maybe this is such common knowledge here in the Granite State that I take it for granted that everyone knows that Adam Sandler is from Manchester, New Hampshire. He graduated from Manchester Central High School, so I was very excited to hear that he mentioned his High School Reunions in his acceptance speech from AARP.

Henry Winkler, a/k/a, the FONZ, a/k/a a good buddy of Adam's introduced him as the recipient of AARP's Movies for Grownups Award, "Career Achievement Honor." He stepped up to the podium to reveal 10 Reasons Why He's F*&^% Old. (Besides the fact that he's getting an award from AARP.)

Adam started to list all the reasons why he's old, from this Instagram Reel. Here are some of my favorites:

1. "The other day, I had to swallow a Viagra just to take a [pee]. And of course I had to call my doctor because of [pee] lasting for more than four hours."
2. "When I sit down, it sounds like a semi-truck driving over a family of lobsters cracking their knuckles and eating Pop Rocks."
6. "When I dive to the bottom of the pool, most of my back skin stays floating on top of the water."

and the one I like best because he's talking about New Hampshire:

7. "At my high school reunions, I spend most of the night saying, 'I'm so sorry to hear that.'"

Adam Sandler is Having a Good Year

I'm happy that Adam is back in the spotlight this year and the end of last. He was recently nominated for a Golden Globe award for his film, Jay Kelly, but he lost to someone I have never heard of - Stellan Skarsgard for the movie Sentimental Value. Adam was robbed.
