So comparing one's life with a character from "The Piano Man" is still acceptable?
 
#27 is the one on this list I agree with the most

Anytime I see this on a softball team, it's always the fattest tub-o-goo who hasn't been laid since the Reagan years. And they always think that they are so original and funny when they wear their uniform.

 
27. Choose 69 as his jersey number.
Why don't we just eliminate the wearing of a sports jersey all together unless you are actually participating in a sport?
Coming out of a Browns preseason game several years back, a guy walking in front of me had a No. 69 jersey with the name "KENSOUTOFCONTROL" on the back. My bro and I still laugh about it to this day.
 
Was doing so well then 32, 41, 52, and 58 came along. In fairness I never put less than $10 in the tank if it would hold more, but sometimes it's nice to top off before starting a trip.

I turn thirty in a couple of weeks and I don't think I have done any of this stuff in quite some time, if ever. Guess I am ahead of the curve on the descent into old age...

there's a 40ish guy in my section at Lambeau who wears a "Michael Hunt" jersey. VERY clever, guy.

I know a guy. I would call hima friend, but am a little embarrased to .... who considers dressing up as wearing his NEW Patriot's Jersey over a new turtle neck. And yes .... were finally were able to convince him to get rid of the mullett. (last year)

He was 38 years old :bag:

 
I gave up home brewing long ago, but some day I hope to do some home distilling. I can't wait for retirement. I intend to sit on my porch in the mountains, to sip my own hooch and to ingest items produced in my own garden while playing old albums far too loudly.

 
Take a camera to a nude beach. :rolleyes: If not I who?? ;)

Wake up to a "morning zoo." :bag: What means this? :unsure:

Eat Oreo cookies in stages. kiss my white a_ _ :hot:

Purchase fireworks. WTF??? How else am I going to blow up my Oreo's, to eat them in stages, while I'm taking pictures at a Nude Beach :confused:

 
No shame in home brewing or in arranging a party bus, particularly if the party bus is rolling to vegas.
32 and just arranged a party bus to a wine tour. Oh well, almost made it through the entire list.
 
41 is wrong.  The other 58 I agree with.
If you adjust this to 'things a single guy with no kids should never do'...then I'd agree with more of them.
Exactly. My son and I will one day take a drive down to Virginia/North Carolina.
Pennsylvania.
:confused: Unless they've really changed in the last few years, PA doesn't sell anything more dangerous than sparklers. VA is better but also more or less sucks.I don't think I've ever done anything other than 41 and 26.

tucked?
I wear jerseys all the time. I don't care what anyone else says, I like 'em.
I'm guilty of quite a few of these. :bag: I'm also old enough that I will wear my Panther #69 Gross jersey, anytime, anywhere and people can line up and kiss my ###!
 
I would add to that list, wearing a baseball cap any other way than the traditional way.

Also, wearing pants that are 5 sizes too big so your underwear shows.

There's a few places (Phantom comes top mind) that are along the PA/MD PA/WV borders that sell more hardcore stuff. You have to show that you are not a PA resident to buy from them tho.
 
Wake up to a "morning zoo." :bag: What means this? :unsure:
Not what I'd call a household expression ... in context, "morning zoo" seems to refer to waking up with all kinds of strangers passed out all over your furniture, living room floor, etc. Maybe some hung-over early birds pacing around catatonically, or raiding your fridge.

Phantom is in Ohio also.

:thumbup: Thanks.. :kicksrock: I miss those mornings wondering who all those people were and why they were passed out on my floor.

I thought this was in reference to waking up listening to one of radio shows with a couple shock jocks. For the longest time, every market had at least one station that had a morning show called "the morning zoo"
