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:

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.

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

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

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? wink

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?

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.

lol See that's how old I am, I didn't even catch the double entendre. (Although Stewart and Jagger are way older than I am).

I'm only 37, but I ought to qualify. All the men in my family die at 74, so I'm officially halfway done. Doesn't get much more "mid" than that.

My father is convinced he has only 6 more years to live (he'll be 68 in December). My brothers and I try to convince him otherwise, but he doesn't seem to want to hear it. He got a clean bill of health in his last doctor visit, but he said grandpa was healthy as a horse till he died at 73 & 11 months, so that's no indicator.

Rockers? Rockers are for young parents with babies. Forget the rockers, as in chairs. We're past all that. If any grandchildren want to visit, they'll just have to crawl on the floor.
I was thinking about a hammock for the front porch, however.

As for musical rockers, we have a collection which caters to all tastes, including those with nostalgia for such 60s favourites as Jagger and Stewart.

Faraway, your early-onset short term memory loss guarantees you a place!

Omni C., don't fret about dying young, for heaven's sake! Get a guest pass and go work out in our top-of-the-line gym instead.

Thank you for clearing up my "wbte" quandry.

Is it okay if I go ahead and hang the hammock on the porch? Maybe Cobie would like to join me?

A hammock? Naw, that'll be for later in the day when it's nap time. For now though may I suggest port and cigars in the War Room? The fireplace, the comfy chairs and the robo-butler are sounding awfully attravtive right now.
...and none of that no-carb, low-fat, no-salt junk for lunch if you please.

Yellow Kid, through the magic of Legion World, you may eat Beef Wellington and trifle to your heart's content at Club MLC, with no ill effects.

Viv, you're welcome here as a guest of course - but you really must be experiencing some of the early-creakiness and sagging energy of middle age to be a full-fledged member.

And I forgot to tell CJ that feeling too old to be young and too young to be old should qualify him as a middle ager, on probation. Maybe his mother lied about his birthdate...

Does being whimsy-challenged qualify as being in a (somewhere-in-)life crisis? Around here, it does, methinks {rueful smile, as he sips his drink}

My get-up-and-go got up and went when I heard that middle agers get to eat so divinely with no ill effects.

Most of use middle agers have to be very careful about what we eat in real life. I think it's only in this make-believe world that we can eat anything without ill effect. And beef wellington won't hurt you, as long as you don't each the crust.

Re-read the thread's title, Spunky.

It's no longer Age-Restricted. Now, pass the drawn butter, please.

Ah, thanks but I've never been a huge seafood fan and I can feel my arteries hardening just thinking about all that butter. Nice of you to offer though.
I think I'll just kick it in the Smoking room for a bit and watch Matlock on the big screen plasma TV for a while.
Ahhhh...so relaxing.

Lobster sounds great, TS. I'll skip the butter and bread and put the lobster in the salad. You are such a good hostess. Must be that southern belle charm you have so much of.

Thank you, kindly, Semi T.! I'm almost sure though that, within the confines of Club MLC if not all of LW, that we are immune to the ill effects of fatty foods.

We don't age, either. It's all the beauty and power of vampirism, without the bloodsucking. Pretty good deal, actually.

Okay...Male test for age consideration...

What would you rather see...porno or burlesque.

If its porno, you are probably too young to get the full benefit of this club.

If its burlesque, you have started to age like a fine wine. You enjoy the natural beauty of life, and the tease that goes with it. The mind is stimulated much more than any other organ.

If its porno...go out and get a date.

If its burlesque, take the wife and enjoy a stimulating evening.

If its porno, go out to your clubs and your loud music and your wild dancin', ya young whippersnappers.

If its burlesque, sit back, enjoy an adult beverage for the taste and not necessarily the stupefy-ing effects, the art of the tease, and the joy of remembering when you had the energy to do something about it.


Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Based on my lifestyle habits, and the corresponding life-expectancy results they generated, I'm already well past the time for a mid-life crisis...

When I was young I was absolutely convinced I woouldn't see 40. I passed the mid-life part a long time ago. Now I'm charging through unexpected and uncharted territory. I really should have taken better care of myself. frown


Oh, and Burlesque definiitely. Smut really can't compare to a skilled striptease artist.

Middle age may well be more of a frame of mind than a particular demographic, but I'd think of it age-wise as 45 to 65. Perhaps there's an "official" definiton.

Just wait until I open up the even more exclusive establishment, Club Hot Flash! wink

Hey, I see Pov and I have the same opinion of these nice comfy overstuffed La-z-boy chairs.
Now we just need a couple of sweet young things in Hellfire Club outfits and all is well.

One may retreat to the peaceful silence of the Library and either stare at the roaring fire or out the bay window, contemplating one's rudderless drifting to one's heart's content, or discontent, as the case may be.

Just follow the sound of deep, mournful sighs, interspersed with gnashing of teeth. That'll take you to the Library, or to the Red Sox locker room.
