Title: Gift for my 30 year old friend....
Post by: Andy on January 27, 2009, 09:12:57 PM
I'll be cross stitching this one.

"Almost Dead"?

"You've Wasted Half of Your Life"?

"Too Old to Fuck"?

Suggestions?

my wife would be upset because she knows the woman I'm stitching this for is my back up (in case of death, not that I plan to leave my wife)

"Please don't die before my wife"

"You are starting to smell like an old lady"

"Tick tick tick"

I still like:
"You've Wasted Half of Your Life"

It's too wordy, but if there would be someone to say "For most of human history you would know officially be considered a withered hag" in a peppy way, oh man.

Along those lines (if applicable), "Shouldn't you have a kid/be married by now?"

I don't know if it translates to the cross stitching medium, but I've always wanted birthday cards that say "Happy Birthday" on the front, and when you open them, the inside just says "...I guess."

Some rendition of this chart showing the decline in fertility of women over 30. It would make a lovely stitching.

30 might as well be dead.

really, things started getting better at about 30 and they do for most everyone i know. your friend is going to think you are a stupid baby if you aren't careful.

I think you answered your own question here. Do the numbers up in plain & fancy style:

When I turned, people kept telling me "Thirty is the new twenty". Which is crap. But they said it anyway.

Thirty is the new I'm going to kick the crap out of you.

I vote for "your friend is going to think you are a stupid baby if you aren't careful."

+1

This is much better than any ironic over the hill joke.

And I like ironic over the hill jokes.

I dunno, I'm liking 30 - even though my vag smells like dust.


Of course, I haven't really grown since I was 12.



Have you perused this place?:

The "Shut Your Whore Mouth" one is one that I'm eying.

For my 30th birthday I'd like some sort of biological clock in the shape of an hourglass. Maybe it would run out by the time I was 37. And instead of sand, it should be filled with teeny little baby heads.

Oh it's not just an idea. It's something that seems to have a permanent spot in my brain... I can picture it now... (I'll be 30 in August. Tick tick tick.)
