Life as I Know It; Family; Lifestyle; and Healthy Living!
According to Esquire Magazine [as reported on MSN's Lifestyles], there are some things a man should never do ever again when he passes the age of 30. I don't know about you men out there, but some of these things are OK with me if a man who is 30 are more wants to do it. I mean what is the point in living and not having fun eh?!

It might be taboo to the "PC" people out there and of course to Esquire Magazine, but I say heck do it if you feel like it! Some of these are funny though! I guess it just depends on the individual what he wants to do, right men?

6. Hang art with tape. It’s called survival skills.<BR>

7. Hang The Scream, unless he stole it from the Munch museum in Oslo. ?????

8. Ask a policeman, "You ever shoot anybody with that thing?" Oh that’s a must, especially for those of us who might never own a gun.

Charles C that was SOOO Funny...your responses were better than the original do not's! Buwhahahhahaha.

Thanks for making me laugh out loud!
on Apr 18, 2006

This was sooooooooooo funny! 

I"m a female    and I"ll NEVER give up skipping, or stop taking Oreos apart,  I'll never stop yelling "shotgun" or 'dibs",  nor will I stop whining,  or stop using the peace sign.  My Mustang only had a 12 gallon gas tank and most times all I could put in was $10.00~ although now it might hit $10.00 reallll easy!

I agree with most of the posters here,  why stop having fun?  Why take yourself so seriously?  leave that for the lawyers and politicans  

on Apr 18, 2006
P.S.  how long is it gonna take someone to write a blog for women now????  and what on earth will it tell us to give up by age 30?  heck,  I"m so far past that age....

Oh, yes. You WILL stop skipping, eventually. One day, your knees will demand it even if your mind does not want to accept it.

I have a bionic knee now and am back to skipping!  and when physically I can't skip,  I'll skip rocks...na na na na na...~~   if my mind got to the point where I didn't want to skip I figure I could hang up life. Period.

it names a number of behaviors that make me laugh at people who do them. Especially having a wallet with velcro. I like that.


At least four of you laughed to agree that such a wallet is a no-no. Now, like Trudy, I'm curious to see a list of things that women shouldn't do past 30 because I carry that very wallet .

Yup, every time mine wears out I buy a new one. It's a basic-training style, see-through, plastic wallet-on-a-rope that fastens with velcro. I put the loop around my ankles, wiggle it up over my hips and carry it that way.

So that makes it sexy, right? haha

Go out on a first date.

Blackjack. When the dealer is showing a 6 (always assume a 10 as the hole card, and dealer must hit on 16, stand on 17), and you have a 6, your odds of busting are 50/50, while the dealer has a greater chance of busting. That one is one of the few wisdom ones.And yes, I use to deal blackjack professionally.


Thanks Doc! Wow, I didnt' know that - you being a Blackjack dealer that is.


when did 28 become a crime?


I think the person who wrote this must be on a sugar free diet!! How can anyone NOT eat Oreos just the way they like?!






#60. Never let any magazine attempt to define adult masculinity for you. Sounds like this magazine wants all men to be old stuffy, inflexible prigs.


Yep! and Yep!


BTW, my variation on #5: I named mine Napoleon because he is short, insane and wants to rule the world.


!!!


home brewing, the disney tie, the John Travolta move (noone UNDER 30 should do it...they never saw the steenking movie in the theater, for crying out loud!)...


Oh yea Gid, I know!!


Oh yeh in the privacy of home and sometimes even in public, I can still play a mean air guitar!


How about the air drum? My kids and I get a kick out of doing air guitar, air drumming and anything we can get a hold on for the mike!


I resemble those remarks..............


Dyno I had a big guffaw on your comment, a guffaw...not a laugh, not a giggle....you're punny!!


Then stewie from family guy must be your son.


Aw Stewie, he's another discussion altogether! hehee


5. Name his penis his name plus junior. [ this one I totally agree with! Hmm..., let your wife or girl name it instead!] Not, I don’t think so. I don’t need a name that would be confused with my wife’s dog.


Aw come on Charles, women give very good names! Poo bear...ok, may be not that one!!


Sorry for the length, not.


Pefectly OK, I enjoyed it!


agree with most of the posters here, why stop having fun? Why take yourself so seriously?


Me too! I just would like to know who actually thought of doing making this list. Maybe if I bought the book...yeah right...


.S. how long is it gonna take someone to write a blog for women now???? and what on earth will it tell us to give up by age 30? heck, I"m so far past that age....


It probably won't be long! hehee


Oh, yes. You WILL stop skipping, eventually. One day, your knees will demand it even if your mind does not want to accept it.


And how!


Yup, every time mine wears out I buy a new one. It's a basic-training style, see-through, plastic wallet-on-a-rope that fastens with velcro. I put the loop around my ankles, wiggle it up over my hips and carry it that way.


Nawwww?! seriously? Oh Angela, you need a new wallet!! Well, at least no one else can get at it.
on Apr 18, 2006
forever, this was soooo funny! how about YOU write one for women? please?


I didn'twrite these but I'll see if I find some for women! Glad you liked them.
