Yeah, but you know you're old when you decide to take the discount just to save money, rather than complaining and saving face.

My mother is not proud, when my father started asking for the senior citizen discount, my mother claimed to be the same age. Even though she is 10 years his junior. 50% is hard to pass up.

I got carded when I was going into a club with one of my friends. I asked the bouncer if he carded everyone or if he really thought I was under 21. He didn't believe I was more than 21. I had just turned 30 about 2 months prior. It made my whole night.

I was very confused today when a guy told me I sounded like I was from the northeast. He said he never would've guessed I was from this city. I told him I'd spent some time in Baton Rouge, and he says, "Well that explains it! You picked up a city accent!" Was just weird... I actually looked over some old youtube videos so I could try and pick out this accent he's talking about. No dice. I've also been told I have a "twang" that I can't pick out. What is going on with my voice?!

Accents are relative...

I asked a class once if I sounded like an educated man, they mostly agreed.

I asked my French, Foreign Exchange Student if I sounded like the biggest bubba he ever heard... He vigorously agreed.

Yeah. I'm sure I have a twang to most non-Southerners. But this guy sounded like he was from down in Terrebone or Lafourche Parish. Compared to them I'm sure I sound downright cosmopolitan. (No offense to Terrebone/Lafourche natives. It's a lovely area with lovely people, but the accent is pretty damn thick to me.)

Sounds like a story a friend just told about something that happened on the job about 20 years ago. He and his boss were on break together. My friend had a pack of Oreos. His boss had Fig Newtons. My friend was unscrewing the cookies and eating the creme filling from the Oreos. His boss decided to show him that you can do basically the same thing with Newtons. Except when he licked the fig filling, suddenly there were a couple dozen small wiggling hairs inside. Seems the Newtons had a case of worms.

I had an odd thought today. Tonic water fluoresces under UV light (because of the quinine) and I saw on a Food Network challenge that one of the competitors used it to make icing glow under UV light. I wonder if it would be possible to do something similar with gelatin.

Make up a batch of Jello with tonic water, let it harden, then cut out letters. Put the tonic water letters in a pan, and then fill-in the rest with Jello made with normal water. That way the pan would look normal under regular light, but under UV the pan would suddenly spell out REDRUM! (or a skull, a ghost, BOO!, whatever.)

Ah, and a quick google reveals lots of results for making glowing jello. However, I'm not sure anyone has done the hidden message thing yet.

If zinc is the stuff in oysters that's supposed to be an aphrodisiac, then why doesn't my morning bowl of Total get me going? It's got 100% of my daily zinc.

I was watching Conan the Barbarian last night, and I realized that Sandahl Bergman really looks similar to Olivia Wilde:

I looked into it, and I couldn't find any relation.

I hate reading Wikipedia when I am searching for some one that was famous when I was young. Wikipedia seems only to have photographs of the famous people that were taken in the last 4 years.

I don't like seeing the people that I admired or that I thought was hot as very aged people.
