    Yep, compare celebrities in the 90s vs celebrities now. The science has improved.


    Also, white people age faster in looks when they hit mid 30.

    Black dont crack and Asians don't raisin.

    Whites don't...?

    Wilfred Brimley was 50 years old when he filmed The Thing and Cocoon.

    He's older than me, by just a bit. Although I had one of students ask me recently "you're like 35 or 36?" Note the student wasn't a little kid but a guy in his late 20's.

    As far as the "Asian don't raisin". Externally maybe but not internally. I may still be able to pass for younger but my joints don't.

    You’re an athlete, are outgoing, have an open mind, in a band…you do things. You have a vivacity and exuberance that makes you seem younger compared to the way your generational cohorts carry themselves.

    I’m in the same boat. I go to EDM shows and festivals where the average age is maybe 28 and guys are shocked when they learn I’m 50. Every time they say ‘I hope I look like you when I’m your age!’ …then I lecture them about health and they go ohhhh, now I see it :p Out of my growing EDM group, the next oldest person is 44 and after that is 37. Surround yourself with people who have that same zest for life.

    That’s sort of the crux of this question. It’s subjective to the person and the people they interact with.

    As a very white guy (Irish blood mainly), I'm doing pretty well, but my neck betrays me. A white neck will definitely raisin.

    So after this thread I asked Google AI to suggest a slogan that applies to Caucasians by feeding in the metaphors of don't crack and don't raisin examples. Google didn't like my question and shamed me a little for using stereotypes.

    I think my Google social score went down, legacy points deducted.

    Why be a honkey when you can be funky?

    Thanks appreciate that. I still wish my joints didn't raisin though. We had several inches of wet heavy snow fall here and after shoveling it my back, knees and shoulder don't feel young at all.

    Yeah man. Definitely like that....except definitely not like...you know, the heroin, dead babies and psycho criminal fight-starting friends. Or my dude who ***** the bed when he goes home with a girl (although that's probably a great story)

    Also not being poor and sleeping in abandoned houses or swimming in toilets. But the other stuff, definitely.

    I get to unload 2 tons of 50lb bags in the next few days. My body is aching just thinking about it.

    What is it? Compact or bigger bags like mulch? Still 80 bags so I guess it all sucks.

    Watched a documentary recently on Iggy and the Stooges and it was pretty lame. They briefly alluded to their bad behavior and Iggy's rehab then it did a 180 and became a cheesy feel good movie on getting the band back together for one more tour.

    I will go with the idea that it is fertilizer.

    I have mulching, bagger attachment on mower, etc as things City people are more prone to do than people living in the Country.
