the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

[Racerx]

My teacher friend told me she held an election in her classroom to teach kids (6 years old) about voting.

On the ballot: lunch
Candidates: pasta vs cheeseburgers

Despite the lobbying dollars behind Big Pasta, the cheeseburgers won on account of "they taste better".

If only our elections could be so civilized!

I'd be the kid writing in cookies.

Didn't the last 50 years whizz by.??

Why you gotta use that word? Now I need to go…

But, yeah, lots of changes since then. Some good, some great, some we’d be much better off without.

I got an AARP mailer the other day, inviting me to sign up for various things. Dude, I'm still in my forties! At least have the respect to wait until I hit the half-century mark before shilling your wares!

I got my first mailer a few days after my 16th birthday, and I used to get twice-yearly mailers until I moved. I thought it would be hilarious to attempt to sign up and see if they'd let a 16-21 year old get an AARP membership, but I didn't have the disposable income at the time to cover the check in case they actually let me sign up so I will never know...

@SkyChaser and I have been individually getting those since our early twenties.

I suspect as long as you’ve got the money, they’d probably take it.

Do you stream your TV? If so, they know your age. Wait until you get the "Pre Planning the Celebration of Life" ads......
