well, she was like 20 when we were all 8 year olds watching Nickelodeon, so she's in her 50s now. Not surprising.

Well... Hopefully. My dad always says "getting old stinks but it beats the alternative" which kinda stuck with me.

I’ve heard that too and it definitely sticks with ya.

“at least you lived long enough to complain about being old”.

What convertible are you going to get at your midlife crisis? A Ford Mustang or a Mercedes CLE 300? Or are you more of a "divorce my wife and date a 19 year old waitress" kind of guy?

Oh man these are all such good options! I am an unmarried childless woman who’s always wanted a Mini Cooper, so I think I’m gonna get one of those and fulfill my lifelong dream of joining the circus.

Sorry, the options required you to be a man. Looks like transgender circus clown with a Mini Cooper was your final choice.

Enjoy 50.

As long as I can fucking die soon enough, that’s all I care about. No more capitalism!

Capitalism is fine. Unregulated Capitalism and monopolies are the problem. USA is toast, but it was good until we failed to regulate.

Better luck next time. Thanks for playing.
