I'm going to have to disagree with that, TGM.

I live in NYC so my closest knock-off alternative would need to be Atlantic City.

Besides, I have my whole life to get to Las Vegas.

Exactly why I didn't bother suggesting AC. It's like wearing immitation Prada's to the Waldorf......just don't do it.

And don't forget, you could die the day after your birthday and then you'll wish you had listened to me. Death happens.

If he were to take precautions just in case he really did die the day after his birthday, he'd probably have other stuff to try.

Unrelated but If I knew I was going to die in advance I'd opt to ride on the hood of a car going at 60 mph and do a flying 60mph side kick into a store's display. I'll die looking freaking awesome.

I would've recommended drinking, but you're already in a fraternity, so that kind of makes the idea passe. It is kind of nice to be able to go in the FRONT door of the club now, though. Also something to be said for flashing an ID that actually looks like you, (because for the first time it is you). Yeah, hit the DMV early in the morning and get an adult ID. It'll suck while you're doing it, but you feel this big sense of accomplishment whenever you use it for the rest of the week.

I've always wanted to do stuntman stuff. Like when I'm on my Harley and next to a semi, I get the urge to get really close and try to climb onto the semi. Stuff like that. Kind of makes me glad I'm not young and foolish anymore. LOL

Happy belated, Callisto. Sorry I wasn't around to wish you well yesterday. Life is a bit hectic right now. Hope you had fun.

[Callisto]

Thanks^^ And fuck yeah vacation for 2 more days, and my first ever dual-box ENM win dropped big:



Edit: Nice, happy belated to lmnop as well, the only downside for us this year is that it's not as cool as our 7/7/7 bday last year.

Not a sterotypical "My GPA is the same as my Blood Alcohol Level" fraternity, thank you very much! And I'll have you know that you don't need to be in a fraternity or have a fake ID to drink in college lol

But yes, drinking for my 21st would be about as passe as threading a needle with a haystack.

Oh har har! I never felt a party was worth it if I needed a fake ID, and like I said, I don't need one to obtain liquor, so I never had any desire for one. That and my invincible Goatee makes the local liquor store comfortable selling me six-packs.

You know what, my birthday is a Saturday, and I'll be back home in NYC (I'm going on a night-cruise with the Alumni Chapter in Queens :-D ), so I probably won't have anything to do at 730 anyway. I might just take that next Monday off just to be safe. I'm excited, because they didn't let me on the boat last year due to my age! Well I'll show those bastards yet!

After attaining my Man-Beard of Awesomeness I stopped getting carded for booze, yet began getting carded for smokes.

Really? Sounds suspiciously like you might be a good fit for my "fraternity". Our symbol is two drafting implements with a letter in the middle. We exist to drink together, and teach philosophy and civil behavior. Activities which are surprisingly not as mutually exclusive as most people think. Fun times.

Yeah, the ID is nice to finally have. I find it silly that people decide to booze it up on the 21st B-day though. People actually wait this long? I was way drunker on my 19th B-day than I ever was during the entire year I was 21. Being in the USMC probably had something to do with that. "Here, try this." "Ick, this cheap beer is awful..." "Ok, try this one from the PX, then." 4-5 of those later... "I love you guys... I'm not just saying that, either. You, for instance... yer... you're beautiful man... I feel like I really, really know you. We should hang out. Not in a gay way, though."

Next big milestone is unfortunately not as cool as the last. 25 lets you rent cars and finally get decent rates on your adult male auto insurance. Apparently before this age we're a road hazard to bus loads of nuns and small children. Just be glad you haven't hit your 10 year HS reunion yet. Really scary to see how all the people you used to fear/look up to peaked so early. My homecoming queen is now a really strange looking lesbian, I think she's a personal trainer at some gym. Her date was nice, though.

Oh, and I forgot to say Happy B-day to Callisto, yet. Happy B-Day man!

LOL, I hadda lol. My husband Ming looks like Grizzly Addams (which only a few of you will be old enough to remember) his Man-Beard of Awesomeness is gorgeous!!

Love the awesome Man-beards!!! (So of course, Ming's char is the fey'est looking Abercrombie & Fitch Elvaan ever - watching him "ride" a chocobo, is laugh inspiring!)

Don't bet on it Kitalrez, I work for one of the biggest Auto insurance companies in America - you don't get any break at 25. We give a lil bit every year from 22 to 28 - but then for females it goes up (then down) during the soccermom years, for men it goes back up during the midlife crises years (and never comes back down) - then everyone goes up as they age over 60 (and up and up and up) - we haven't given breaks at 25 since the 70's, but everyone thinks we do..... But that's just the Age curve.

You want cheaper insurance? Never go without Insurance, Always carry as much as you can afford and need, DON'T get tickets or have accidents and keep your Insurance credit score as high as possible - THAT will get you the cheapest insurance, more than anything else. Age, Gender and Where you live are less important, but still rating factors used. Oh and moving to a "Rich" suburb doesn't make your insurance go down - it usually makes it go up (The wealthy like to sue a lot).

And yes, you are a road hazard to nuns

Shame on him for not going with the Riker model Hume.

It's pronounced *shivers*, and I'm not sure I needed to know about your facial hair fetish...

I hope I'm hitting the mark on your implementation on this one. I'd love to stand on the square and look towards the light, but I believe one glaring fact I'm overlooking is that I'm not 21 yet. If I'm wrong, we can take this to PMs, lol, but my father and I are in the same fraternity, and he is "Standing on the right side of the square" already, and he laughed when I told him I wanted to take the journey as well.

It's also the age I can't get a free ride on my parent's health insurance, meaning that I should hopefully have my loans paid off by then. I'm definitely considering moving back with them for a while, because rent in NYC is absurd..

Well girls who I had crushes on in high school can't compare to the voluptuous curves I've seen in the past couple of months.

Is it bad now I'm adding to the list of my "spousal criteria": "Child-Bearing Hips"?
I also look on their left hand to see if there is a ring there instead of looking at their chest first.
