59 Things a Man Should Never Do Past 30 (1 Viewer)

[BustedKnuckles]

69. Wear a baseballl cap with the brim pointed in any direction other than over your eyes. (Wild Young Billy)

Ill wear my damn hat any way i please

 

[urbanhack]

Smoke marijuana.

Hey, at least you can still pop pills and kick it to some fresh techno beats.

You do realize that kicking back with a few beers is more harmful to your body than marijuana right?

Once you're over 30, you're really too old to risk being arrested and going to jail just to get a buzz. At least beer you can get legally.

I'm white. I seriously doubt I'll ever be arrested for smoking pot or having minute quantities on me.

I'd also add "sticking any sort of decal to ones car." It just looks so freaking stupid. In that same vein taking any of the factory tags off the back (this is big in az/Cali for some reason). That also looks freaking stupid.

Disagree. I placed four decals on my car a few years ago that I now can't get off. Of course, those decals allowed me to legally drive in the carpool lane on the freeway with only the driver in the vehicle.

It doesn't say you can't, it just says you shouldn't. Probably because you look like Vanilla Ice.

It doesn't matter how old you are, its virtually impossible to listen to Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight and not break into an air drum at that part.

home-brewing and fireworks aside (no way they should even be on this list).... airdrumming is the only other thing I COMPLETELY disagree with. I am glad you found the right song to make sure everyone will understand why.

It's playing in my head and I'm air drumming. Do dum do dum do dum do dum dum dum

I CAN FEEL IT COOOMIN IN THE AIR TOO -NYEET

Hold O-on. Oh, Lord

 

[mr roboto]

Really? Huh.

 

[yellowdog]

Really? Huh.

 

[modogg]

I have the Heat-Pacers game on in the background, and I am pretty sure that no man over the age of 30 should do an "Air Ball" chant and get all into it while he is doing it. Definitely looks a little strange breaking out the elementary school playground chants when you are an employed adult.

10. Skip.

 

[Chaka]

Ecstasy.

 

[WisWolvrns]

wear lycra shorts...

 

[kutta]

What is up with 50 - Purchase home-brewing paraphernalia?

Seems to me that after 30 is the right time to start home brewing.

 

[urbanhack]

I'm getting ready to turn 49 and I can't imagine not having a little weed around. I don't use any other drugs, but man... no doobage? No freaking way.

Let's fire up...it's NYE!

eoMMan> are you still a prude?

 

[Al O'Pecia]

Ecstasy.

Meh. I'm over thirty and I recently took some ecstasy at a Trey Anastatsio concert. Still the most enjoyable drug I've ever taken.

 

[Koya]

Probably go on a party bus to a New Years eve party with a bunch of 20 something's (this is for the over 40 crowd - if you are in your 30s some prime years to grab some 20 something ###

Great timing, a Bowie DVD came in from Anarchy's vault today. Looking forward to a mellow NYE.

It's good exercise.

22. Wear Disney-themed neckties.

I don't wear ties but would wear Disney ties if I did.

41. Purchase fireworks.

pretty much a must with kids

45. Hit 13 against a 6.

what?

70. Drink cheap liquor or well drinks. (proninja/FairWarning/wadegarrett)



71. Wear a jersey that doesn't have YOUR NAME on it. Unless it says NIPSEY. (Doctor Detroit)



Apparently I'm failing at being old.

It's a statistically terrible play in blackjack. The odds are just never in your favor and/or there is never a rational reason to hit on your 13 when the dealer is showing a 6 (because the odds that you'll bust is high so it's worth not improving your hand since his odds of busting are already quite high).

This play is so stupid that, when you do it and it allow the dealer to wind up with a different card and not bust, that people will become upset with you. For example, let's say you have a 13 and you hit and get a face card. You bust. The dealer flips over a face card and he's holding a 16. He deals himself a 4, now with 20, and everyone loses. People blame your play for the loss since had you not hit your 13 the deer would have gotten the face card that you did and bust as the odds indicate he was likely to do.

However, these people don't possess a rudimentary understanding of odds and are also idiots. Statistically speaking, on the whole your individual play has no effect on their overall odds.

I actually do care about understanding stats. But how do I have more than a 50% chance of busting?

I still "air drum" and would pick 69 as a game jersey. You're never too old for either of those.

You don't have a 50% chance of busting. But the dealer, with a 6 to your 3, has a MUCH higher chance of busting than you do. Therefore it's in your favor to let the dealer bust rather than take the chance you'll bust and if someone neither of you do, then you also have to beat his total card count.

Or once again - your chance to bust is higher than your chance of winning by letting the dealer bust

Gotcha now.

I must have read woz's comment about my odds of busting wrong.

Its the combination that you might bust, plus the likelihood that the dealer will bust that makes it a bad play. Realistically if you are sitting on 13, the only cards that will marginally improve your hand against a dealer are 5-8. 9-K and you bust, A, 2, 3, and you improve your hand, but not enough to beat a dealer who does not bust - 4 would push a dealer in the unlikely event he ends up on 17.

I guess I'd have to run the math but only 5 of 13 cards actually improves your hand

ETA: I also never specifically said it was greater than 50%. Although it may very well be since an A, 2, or 3 do nothing to your hand and if you felt obligated to hit on 13 you may feel so obligated to hit on anything <17.

There has to be a true count that makes hitting a 13 against a 6 a positive EV play.

If you knew the highest card left in the shoe was an 8, you'd hit every time.

 

[BobbyLayne]

I don't skip, but my 6 y.o. does. Every day. I feel like I'd be a lot happier if I did.

Never say never. If you counted cards there is a point when there are not enough high cards in the remaining deck where the odds would swing in your favor to hit. The problems are the other players at the table would think you are an idiot and/or it might tip off the house you are card counting.

With the obvious problem being that counting cards to the extent required to where hitting is +EV is insanely ####### hard.

Bacardi??? :X

I'm Hippling the #### out of this. I could say that nobody over 30 should use Coke as a mixer, but I get that the heart wants what the heart wants. But no adult who is using Coke as a mixer should be particular about the alcohol that goes with it.

 

[FUBAR]

No one over 30 should drink cheap alcohol, beer, or wine.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Expanded that<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

How about...Drink cheap liquor.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Lets expand it to well drinks.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

How cheap are we talking? Your big domestic beers (Bud, Miller, etc)? Or Natty Light, The Beast, and the other really cheap beers?Same with the liquors. Are we talking plastic bottle cheap? Or are we not supposed to be drinking your run-of-the-mill bottles like Smirnoff, Bacardi, etc?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm talking Natty Light, Arrow liquors, etc. If you order a rum and coke, order a Bacardi and coke instead.

Confession - I've never ordered my own mixed drink at an American Bar or restaurant. We used to get whiskey sours in Canada, I've drank mixed drinks at weddings or make some at home and have been bought a few, but if I'm buying at a bar or restaurant I get beer. Combination of liking beer and not wanting to spend a minimum of $8 per drink.
