We get Kaido dishing out a spread of sides to go with the pig. We get yOyO to hook up the sick system. We'll have a stage with all sorts of instruments for those who play. Fritzo will be playing Led Zep - Communication Breakdown as the party starts. We can't forget Ross, who is footing the bill for the whole thing.

BYOIP!

Also, Rossman will probably figure out how to get us cashback on the whole deal...

I am. I never thought I'd make it to 47. I'm constantly reminded by people I haven't seen in decades on facebook..."holy shit, you are still alive?"

Is that a typo? You still have a few years until you're 25, right? Please tell us you're not a fully grown adult.

Just turned 49. Not sure I'm proud of it... but I'm glad I'm not dead. I had 2 open heart surgeries at 42 for trying to get scuba certified, and 1 last year because the doc finally figured out why I had high blood pressure. Hopefully, the rest of my life is uneventful...

The pig roast and kegger is planned for my 30th next year. All of ATOT is invited. Even Mayne.

What could possibly go wrong??


I'd go, but I don't care for pork. Beef is what's for dinner!

On my 30th I thought I was going to Vegas and checking out a Bunny Ranch. Well, that never happened. Oh well... 36 next month. Perhaps when I turn 40 I'll do something like parachute or scuba dive. Although, I'd like to do those now.

26, I'm indifferent at this point, but I'm just glad I no longer need to attend institutions such as elementary school, high school etc, those places combine together some of the worst sociopaths you meet in your lifetime, it's worse than prison because in prison they at least lock them up for a few hours every day.

Not if you're in the cafeteria , let out to do shit or in the yard...

Never been to prison, NEVER EVER want to. My Cuz has. But I call Job Corp a form of prison and I went there for a year and three months to the date. This particular center had the worst food EVER!

Every Tuesday we got a whole new batch of adolescent fuck-ups whom some were court ordered to be there. Pretty tough when all you want to do is get your high school and/or GED and not get in a fight and be terminated. Thankfully, despite the close encounters and being spit on, I bit my lip and got both a GED and high school. Although, in the application I list high school.

Maybe time to switch job.

I still can't believe I hit 30, that's just so old. I still feel like I'm in my 20's.

That said I am really proud and happy of where I am in life. I remember being a kid and I could not wait to be an adult and have a house and job and independence etc. And here I am and I have all that now. Crazy how fast time really goes once you hit high school and then college and then, grown up adult with job and house. My oldest nephew just started high school himself, kind of mind blowing when I think about it. I can relate to when I was his age and actually remember it. I still clearly remember my first day of high school.

Not that long ago I was showing him super mario tricks on the NES and SNES, the same one I played when I was his age. Passing on important life knowledge! :p

In the mail? So they have your home address? I'd move asap. :grinning:
Doesn't work. My college alumni group tracks me down as fast as I move. You can bet D. B. Cooper, where ever he might be, gets solicitations from his alumni association.
