Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Did I just hear Super Porny Pants call herself a eunuch?

IRL I sort of am. Don't ask me to explain it, but its a fascinating invisibility phenomenon in bars, clubs, etc.

In the John Hughes movie of life I always end up being the best-friend-girl but I never seem to show up a the prom in the killer dress.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Well, by the "(X/2)+7 < Y" rule, you are.

Obligatory xkcd.

Wait- what is the x again?

Your age.

X is your age. So, at 34, you should date people older than 24, since (34/2)+7 < 24+.

Hmm...

If they have tattoos they're legal. This is a much easier formula to remember.

Well, if I followed the rule, my dating range would be 28-64, both extremes of which would creep me out.

By that formula, when I am 36, patrick and I will be perfect for each other. If I can do math.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All I know is that ageofconsent.com was a very useful tool while it was up. Beyond that? Depends on the person. I have not led the sort of life that leaves me with the luxury of saying "Well, he's funny and interesting and sexy and I love his company--but he's too young/old for me."

I don't have the opportunity to start that sentence. I can't imagine finishing it that way.

I try not to think about how old (or, um, not) Brendon Urie is. And I really try not to think about how old I am.

Yes. This.

Leave me alone, Marco Andretti! Can't you see I'm just no good for you?!?!?!

Yeah. Not gonna happen.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Back when I was younger (and thinner), I drew far more attention than I wanted from the twice-my-age-and-lacking-appropriate-boundaries crowd. Who did not take being turned down gracefully. Gaining weight and graying a bit may not do me any favors when I'm the one on the prowl, but it has paid serious dividends in not being perved on.
