Move over, Clooney — I’ve got myself a new man.
I would like to introduce you to my new boyfriend — or “gentleman friend,” as my Great Aunt Betty would call him — Buster Martin, this awesome 101-year-old man training for the London marathon (writes Candy as she still tries to catch her breath from walking up the stairs). But it’s not his athletic prowess that won me over. Oh, no. It’s his extracurricular activities that made me realize we were soulmates:
“He smokes, drinks, stays out late, which is probably why he is still alive,” said Charlie Mullins, the managing director of the plumbing company where Martin cleans vans.
When not working three days a week for Mullins, Buster can be found in a nearby boxing gym working with a pair of trainers in preparation for April’s run. Unlike me, he doesn’t think he’s such hot stuff, though.
“I am not doing anything unusual. I am just running a marathon,” he told ABC News.
And he enjoys running, “but not as much as I like my beer,” he added.
Turns out, Buster is also the original Kevin Federline — he is the father of 17 children, which also doesn’t impress him. “Pity I didn’t have any more kids,” he said with a sigh.
Wouldn’t be surprised if the beer had something to do with those 17 kids.

Shit yeah, he totally blows Clooney away–but not Johnny Depp–who is all mine, all mine (once he leaves his wife).

Candy, please, tell me you are not the new Anna-Nicole!
Keep in mind, Buster can obviously go the distance (107 AND a marathon runner).
What do you inherit? 17 kids.
Seriously Candy, think about it.
