When I was a kid, I thought I would be wearing a suit all the time as an adult I actually looked forward to it. I am so hot all the time that I would die if I had to.

Also a possibility, let's see if anyone starts panicking.
Have a long lunch outside and say you had an appointment.
 
I'm apparently older than contemporary Homer.

This displeases my old ass.

Hang on, I thought Homer and Marge were in the same graduating class? Back when they were in high school in the 70's *cough*, they had classes together and the same Senior prom. Shouldn't they be the same age, or at least close to it?

I mean, it still makes them younger than me now, when they started out my parent's age, and I'm trying not to think about that too hard because :Leyla:
... oh no, is this what it's like when Li'l Z watches the show? He sees Homer and Marge as my contemporaries?!? I was about Bart's age when this started! WHY?!? WHY WOULD YOU BRING THIS DAMNED IMAGE IN HERE, NICK?!?

IF I HAVE TO EXPERIENCE SIMPSONS-INDUCED EXISTENTIAL DREAD, THEN SO DO YOU. Welcome to the party, pal!

Homer being held back a few years isn't exactly unreasonable...
 
That's a States' Rights thing.

States Rights was always a lie:

The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 (23 U.S.C. § 158) was passed by the United States Congress and was later signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on July 17, 1984.[1][2][3] The act punished any state that allowed persons under 21 years to purchase alcoholic beverages by reducing its annual federal highway apportionment by 10 percent.

The act was expressly upheld as constitutional in 1987 by the United States Supreme Court in South Dakota v. Dole.[5]

By 1995, all 50 states, two permanently inhabited territories, and D.C. were in compliance, but Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands (and Guam until 2010) remained at 18 despite them losing 10% of federal highway funding.

 
Yes, I was alive in 1984, I remember.
This law was the reason that the pub in my college was no longer allowed to serve alcohol by the time I got to said college. It was quite the goalpost move.

A lot of instruments can be disassembled for storage. I used to play the clarinet, and this is basically what it looked like in its case.

And yes, putting my clarinet together did sometimes feel like I was assembling a weapon. Whatddya expect, I was a middle-school-aged boy.
