WWAWD sudden realization that at 34 years of age you no longer really know how to properly interact with/connect with your peers.

I think part of it is that being on here so often makes you develop a weird sense of humor. Imagine trying to explain to a normal person why DAS DAT CHOP CHEE is so funny.

Time to make a trip down to the ole Exhaust Pipe to Window Extension Store...

I tried to get my friends my age to get in on goofing on Serch but he was to hard to explain since 3rd Bass was so long ago and largely forgotten. They saw the Chop Chee vids but thought it was sad more than funny.

I thought you were married to an old cat lady. Or are you one of those guys who refer to their girlfriend as their wife?

We had a bit of a "she moved out" type of thing.
And yes, you would be right to assume we were never legally married. She insisted we're common law, but I am highly skeptical of that.

if it sounds like I moved on a little too quick, it's okay, I took psychedelic mushrooms to help me grieve my relationship in a fast yet healthy manner, this is all perfectly fine and totally normal. You can ask any licensed Ontario shaman.

I didn't care for the way she treated you on Canadian Thanksgiving. Good for you, Turkster.

It’s bad in your 30s/40s when you have younger kids and are forced to interact and make friendly conversation with other parents. Maybe there is one other dad who you could see being friends with, but then you realize that you barely talk to your long-time friends, so why bother at this age making new ones. Then you have to stop yourself from wanting to bang any of the moms who are still keeping it together, so any interaction with them is awkward, especially when one seems flirty but she could just be nice.

Fawk!

Now this store absolutely does not exist. Who would even want to purchase that as a niche item? You guys are pulling my leg. Stop being jerks, there's no such thing as a rickety stool store. I even looked it up on google maps. What are you guys doing? Stop playing pretend.

Google censors block the truth

That's a fair assessment.

I give this advice with a great deal of hesitation because it seems that for most on this board, moderation isn't a strong personality trait, however, I say have a couple of drinks.

If .....IF you are the type of person who can have a drink or two this could help. Of course if your personality is such that if you are not sober, you're falling down drunk, then please ignore my advice.

Also, this works better in a date situation and might not be good advice for Parents Night at your kid's school, or a Saturday morning youth soccer game. But, the point being, moderate alcohol consumption has been known to grease the skids for social interaction.

At the grocery store and some hag turns you and goes "oh, it looks like it's going to rain cats and dogs out there, funster."

DAS DAT CHOP CHEE?

DAS DAT CHOP CHEE?

Unless I'm walking away laughing, my only other reaction would be of total confusion. Like, what is this fat idiot calling my food?

how about mollys? I've got the addictive pattern of collapse for alcohol, but I'm pretty sure I don't have one for mollys.

I'm also pretty good with coke, but I can't afford it at this time.

You just described my life

I want different things to people my age. I have basically got financial security to never work a day again. I don't particularly want to work for anyone else ever again. I am going to travel a fair bit this winter in India and did a bit in Italy a few months ago just to have stuff to talk about. But people my age are just talking about their boring fucking jobs and I have ZERO interest in their work place issues. Zero.
