I am too old for this...the 40 plus thread.

I'm down to under a pack a day!

scott well fucking done!!!

sarah ime smoking less was even harder - way harder - than not smoking at all. ymmv obv

is it a side-effect of standard circulation issues from being a regular smoker for 20+ years, that I think I'm cold so I dress warmer for bed and use more blankets and then sweat at night because I'm actually too warm or is it .... the change?

Tbh I wake up sweaty a lot and I think I've figured out that it's the fact that I probably have had to pee for a long time but I'm deeply asleep and every muscle in my body is tense with holding back. After I get up and pee at like 5am I'm fine.

^ same here, like clockwork almost every morning

I know I sweat a lot more when Ive been overdoing the booze. But generally yeah I'm guessing its crone time, ha.

i had never heard of jenny slate and thought chris evans was the guy from parks and recreation

/morbs

another sign you're old is when you hear about Jenny Slate and Chris Evans and instead of being like RATS, WHY NOT ME you're like oh that is really cute, I hope they make it last, their scions would probably be adorable and mostly well-adjusted.

I have zero idea who those people are.

i don't think they're goths, so

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On and Captain America, respectively.

I mostly know her from Married, where she played Paul Reiser's hard-partying, too-young-for-him wife.

She's the actress who said "Fuck" on SNL, right?

I know who Jenny Slate is and have greatly enjoyed her work on screens large and small and on audio, but did not know why mookie was mentioning her and now gather from Tombot's posts that she has dumped her husband for a guy that plays Captain America in something

Jenny Slate broke up with Chris Evans (Captain America) though?

I liked her in Married...

She got divorced, then dated Chris Evans for a while, and is now single again. Details here.

"plays Captain America in something"

lol ok Tuomas

I know him from the time he shouted "NAME IT, BITCH!" at Leonard Maltin on Doug Benson's podcast

it seemed so unlike you to admit to not knowing a thing, i was confused

What what in the whattywhat? :/

Also mookie: oi!

okay i had to google the shell thing and i really wish i still didn't know what it was. so annoying.

watching her do that voice on conan is really embarrassing too.

I still have no idea who these people are

Jenny Slate was on SNL for one season and said "fuck" on live television, which contributed to her one season. She also did the character Tina Tina Chaneuse who sold custom doorbells and car horns that were her voice saying dumb things, which for some reason consistently cracked me up. She also played Jon Ralphio's sister on Parks and Recreation.

Chris Evans plays Captain America in the Avengers movies. He also played Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies with Jessica Alba and Michael Chiklis and was one of the ex-boyfriends in Scott Pilgrim vs The World. He also was the lead in Snowpiercer. His uncle is my representative in the House.

Jenny Slate was funny on Kroll Show.

His uncle is my representative in the House.

Wait hold on

he rules

this discussion makes me feel young and spritely

none of these people seem at all cool -- I feel legitimately cooler having been ignorant of their existence

I still have no idea who these people are

^^^ also I don't really even care.

i had a dream about jenny slate & chris evans last night, hate u guys

A good dream or

I can't wait to old the shit out of ILM in 60 weeks or so. WHO THE HELL IS THE WEEKND IM PRETTY SURE IM COOL FOR NOT KNOWING THE ANSWER

You kids today with your streaming services and

gonna imgur the fuck out of my case logics, one page at a time

wait they had the SAME guy play the human torch AND captain america? that's so dumb.

it was a pretty boring dream :(

tbh when i first heard jenny slate's name i thought is that . . . slate dot com's advice columnist?

i was not cool for not knowing the answer

do any of you get that "ehhhh, what do you know, you're young/a kid/etc..." from people in their 60s or older? hate that shit. makes me irrationally angry. maybe i just don't look adult enough. but i'm almost 50...and my back hurts...

it has taught me to try and not do that to people younger than me. and just treat adults like adults. and not talk down to kids. but sometimes i slip up.

48 used to be ancient.

scott I think the right thing to do is to say "hey man, I'm sorry you had to grow up with lead paint and leaded gas, but I'm only 12 years younger than you - thanks for all you did to clean up the environment so we don't have to breathe that shit any more"

ha, i do tend to get defensive. sometimes i'll ask them how old they are and then i'll say "eh, 66, that's not that old, i actually thought you were a lot older..."

this woman came in the store and she was so healthy looking and light on her feet and quick and i figured she was in her 70s and she told me she was 90! i couldn't believe it. and then she told me she had been a dance teacher. so, there you go, everyone start taking dance lessons.

THEY'RE STILL BEING USED IN SHOE STORES. LOOK UNDER THE BENCH, IF YOUR BACK CAN HANDLE IT, OLD-TIMER.

Had a 50something co-worker pedagogically explain to the rest of us in the newsroom the other day how LEVON HELM from near HELENA was in THE BAND.

i have always thought that the whole "you're too young to remember that..." line of reasoning was the most demented thing on earth. i get it a lot obviously having to withstand countless boomers in my record store. but people really do believe that you had to be a certain age at a specific time to know what something is.

I am 40, and I know who Jenny Slate and Chris Evans are.

or more accurately they will say "you're too young to know who that is...". as if all knowledge of a person or thing just...stops?

it's all good though. it does teach me what not to do when talking to people.

unfortunately, i am at the age now where i think that most young actors are horrible and dumb and boring. which is kinda sad. broad city duo are heroes to me though. so i'm not a complete monster. there are definitely exceptions.
