Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Every 10 Years Forum Club Mid-Life Crisis - No Longer Age-Restricted

Can't keep up with the madcap hilarity and hi-jinks of the MMB? Did life pass you by? Probably your own fault - you've had your nose buried in comic books for the last 30 years, haven't you? At least it's not too late to join Club Mid-Life Crisis.

Membership open to all those aged 45 years and older. We are a very select group. Younger posters are welcome if accompanied by an eligible member.

:Wink:

Um, 37 going on 67 according to wife and family. Does that count?

As a Founder I have to protest any restricted Clubs, especially those based on age. If we start that then we have to start kicking people out for being too old or too young, according to the Legion constitution.

Just post a hefty cover charge and you should be okay.

Can someone accompany me? I want to play too!

Well, now I'm really screwed

Bah! You're just jealous 'cause you're too young!

Rickshaw, you're in.

Cobie, you're welcome as long as one of us old coots is in the vicinity.

Golly! I'm broke and underage. Miss Cramer will you volunteer to be my eligible member. I'd ask Abin but he gets too excited when I say "eligble member."

I'll whisper all of the best MMB gossip into your ear!

Don't push the age issue with me. I can shut you down real quick.

And anyone who has been working since the age of 10, earning a real paycheck, like I have, isn't too young for anything.

Well, okay, LL - threats always work, at least until I get my space-lawyer working on it.

Miss T., same rule as applies to Cobie - you're welcome here as long as some oldster is on-line at the MMB.

Golly! Miss Cramer, I don't see any "oldsters," just "goldsters!"

(Tries to walk the line between genuine nicety and blatant @$$-kissing.)

I'm 44 next month FC, can I sneak in?

Close enough, Mrs. C B. and nice to have you here. As you can see, we're not particularly fussy, age-wise.

Perhaps I should open it up to people who are either (a) mid-life or (b) having a crisis. That would probably cover just about everyone.

Oh, and Miss Tricks - very nicely balanced...!

I guess I qualify age-wise. What a great club. I do think the underage guests should follow that wise old practice and "be seen, not heard." Just kidding.

BTW, when is one supposed to have a mid-life crisis. And are you allowed more than one. I think I had my first in my 30's when I went back to law school. Now, I think I'm having another because I don't want to be a lawyer anymore. Is it too late to be a cowboy or an astronaut?

If Semi gets to be a space cowboy, then I get to be a princess and I'll expect my knight in shining armor to come calling within the next 30 minutes.

Good luck.

"Goldsters" ha ha ha

We may be older and slower than you youngsters but always remember "old age and dirty tricks beat youth and enthusiasm every time"

Golly! What's all this moisture behind my ears?

That's the best straight line I've been handed in a year, but I just can't bring myself to run with it.

The sad thing is, even as much as I like to consider myself the Innuendo Queen, that one flew over my head till you pointed it out, Miner.

I would like to know, however, how wetness behind one's ears came to be equated with youth and inexperience. I would imagine it connotes newbornness but why did they forget to dry behind the ears?

Consarn Youngsters always making so much noise...

All that ohhing and ahhing, and moaning and groaning...

Oops, thats me in the john...

Okay which one of you whippersnappers recorded that!

From www.word-detective.com/back-c2.html

"Wet behind the ears," meaning inexperienced or naive, comes to us from the wonderful world of baby farm animals. It seems that the last part of a newborn horse or cow ("foal" and "calf" to the cognoscenti) to dry out after birth is the area behind the little critter's ears. Thus, to say that someone is "wet behind the ears" is a folksy way of saying that they lack the experience or savvy necessary to accomplish a task. The first published use of "wet behind the ears" in print dates only to the early 20th century, but most authorities believe that the phrase itself is much older than that and, like many folk sayings, was used in popular speech long before anyone used it in print.

This clarification brought to you by the management of Club M.L.C.

This looks like a niice spot. FC, I'm not 45 till next May, can I get on the waiting list or somthing.

Now that chair looks nice and comfy. ahhhhhhh! Where am I again?

Only twenty two years to go before I can join up! Looks like I'll have to have Far bring me until 2026!

FC, I hope you're not thinking of stocking the club with rockers. Some of us aren't quite ready to pass quietly into the second half of our lives. Put in a gym, will you?

Once again-

Too young to do anything fun...
and
Old enough to know better...
