Signs you're not a teenager anymore

[Marc Vaughan]

I played in a two day 3v3 soccer competition at the weekend, we were meant to play at the 'adult recreational' level but they didn't have enough teams for that competition so we got lumpted into the competitive bracket where all the youngsters play.

Two days and six matches later, after running around after 18-20 year old kids and I'm a wreck this morning, my body aches - how my arms ache I have no idea after all its 'football' ....

PS> We lost every match - some worse than others, I knew it was going to be 'rough' when I realised that several of the teams we played travelled halfway across florida to play in the tournament (kinda guessed they might be taking it a tad seriously at that point ;) ).
It WAS a good laugh though and has increased my desire to improve my fitness level further.

Oh, it gets better the older you get. For instance, I love waking up in the morning feeling hung over, but, I didn't drink the night before.

[Cringer]

Hearing my wife say "I hate f'n teenagers!" when we come up on a group of them pretty much reminds me every time.

Then we walk another 15 feet and I have a hard time remembering I am not a teen when I see the 16 year old girl with the great set of cans hanging most the way out. (Stop looking, jail, prison, bad things, baaaaaad things, it just isn't right...).

I've found (since I was around 25) that if I lie in bed for too long (anything past 8.30am) then I feel like s*it ... not entirely sure why but it does help me get out of bed promptly which I suppose is a good thing, still I am somewhat jealous of my daughter (14) who doesn't surface until around mid-day during the holidays .... unless she's kicked ;)

[Cringer]

Oh crap you have a 14 year old. I am sorry about my previous comment on 16 year olds. I was pointing out how it is wrong though, not that I enjoy it. I have an 8 year old daughter and she will never go to a movie theater without me, and wearing sweaters, big baggy sweaters. :D

[Fidatelo]

Mmmm sweater puppets....

Wait, what were we talking about?

[MikeVic]

Sweater puppies.

[tyketime]

Marc, I feel your pain... literally! Last night was a Parent vs Player scrimmage for my son's Street Hockey team. I woke up today with a reminder of certain back muscles I haven't used in a few years.

Haha. My wife has to do that to me. I'm a sleeper, so waking up around noon is easy for me. Though if I do sleep too long, I do feel like crap for most of the day.

[DanGarion]

Yes but one nice thing about not being a teenager is that I can sit here on my computer and legally drink a Smithwicks...

Wait, you mean I'm NOT 19 anymore????


WTF?

WHERE WAS THE MEMO?????

[WSUCougar]

So Marc, did you put a few into Row Z?

[Chief Rum]

So Marc, did you put a few into Row Z?

By my count, I would guess at least ten. Seems the running average. :)

[Marc Vaughan]

So Marc, did you put a few into Row Z?

Towards the end of the games standard tactic was hoof it towards goal from anywhere because we were knackered* and it was 95 degrees out there .... :D

I scored three goals (spread across the 6 games) - bear in mind that I'm naturally a defender and up until I moved to Florida and started playing 3v3 hadn't scored a goal in around 7 years ... so shooting isn't the most natural thing in the world for me ;)

*Not only were we older (by a multiple of 2 in some cases) and less fit than the opposition, but to add insult to injury we were also a man down - teams were meant to have 6 players to rotate but because of an absence we only had 5.

Problem is, I felt that way when I was a teenager ;)

My summer ultimate frisbee league started up last week. I'm on the team with another guy I know well. We're probably the only ones over 30, and the rest of our team is young, experienced, but physically fit.

So I said to him: "Here's the plan: you & I do the bulk of the handling, and we send these kids long."

Worked like a charm, in that we won 13-7. We'll see what happens this week.

[Critch]

Our ac is out and it's high 90's outside, so we got a standalone ac thing. Apparently it's been blowing cold air on my back all night, now I cant sit or stand straight without pain, so I'm all hunched up.

That's a sign I'm no longer a teenager. I'm a hobbled old man.

The worst part of getting old (I turn 38 on Sunday) is that your injuries don't heal like they used to. I've had a bum shoulder for 2 years now that isn't bad enough for surgery, but refuses to heal on its own. It has kept me keeps from playing hoops all this time. At some point i think i'm just going to start playing again and deal with the pain. I love cycling, but I need team sports in my life.

I'm in a similar position on my frisbee team this year. We only have about 4 or 5 people returning from last year, and somehow all of the new recruits are freaks of nature athletically and fitness-wise. And they are all tall. I'm almost positive that by mid-season I will be more coach than player. We haven't tried sending them long much yet, though, because the winds have been brutal for almost all of our games. We'll see how tonight plays out :)

[path12]

Gray pubes.

I'm sure Andy Pettite and Roger Clemens can help you with that recovery issue.

Dude, seriously...that is WAY too much information!!!!!

:nono:

[MikeVic]

You mean you DON'T have grey pubes?

[oliegirl]

Nope, I don't. Maybe it's a guy thing????

[MikeVic]

Nope, I don't. Maybe it's a guy thing????

I don't either!!

[Fidatelo]

Who still has pubes?! I thought this was 2008...

Olie is way to sensitive to imagery. Glad I didn't mention NAIR.....


Good point there Fidatelo!

[Coffee Warlord]

Are you feeling pube inadequacy?

[oliegirl]

Haha, no...though the thought of Nair "there", is a tad painful...

And thanks to Lorena (it's weird to type that!) for the pukey smilies!

[RendeR]

true for women NAIR can be a nasty experience, for guys though its just a very handy way to create a smoothe and sensitive...umm...yeah, anyway....

[oliegirl]

This thread has taken a very unexpected turn...

[Fidatelo]

I was just joking around, clearly RendeR is a freak!

You might be right, however I won't be volunteering to prove that theory...

[M GO BLUE!!!]

I have a 15 year old, but know exactly what you mean.

About a week ago I saw a body with the face obscured by an umbrella (raining.) When I peeked under the umbrella I saw a face that couldn't have been more than 16 or 17. Yipe!

[RendeR]

I was just joking around, clearly RendeR is a freak!

I resemble that remark...

Had you not figured that out already??? :eek:

I love you too darlin ;)

Good point.


It is NOT that obvious damnit....ok fine it is but its a LOVABLE freakishness....


*poutz* "MOOOOOM they're PICKIN on MEEEEE!"

Feeling satisfied with every other week sex.

Don't get me wrong, the spirit is willing but the body is weak... :D

Alright Cringer..you told her about all the wonderful chatting taking place again didn't you...it's a good thing you have the 'secret" board to post at now.



:welcome: Hi Loren! We missed you!

yeah, hi... I'm formerly Dodgerchick.

[Dr. Sak]

I pulled my groin last night playing softball. I can barely walk this morning. Maybe having pubes would've helped.

Alright! I messed up.....shoot me.....:banghead:

Ummm...I've heard that getting Nair on your boys is an agony that will make you wish for death.

Wow. I was so gonna try this. I better read up on it.

Don't do it! Just take Jeeb's word for it.

[MikeVic]

Nair just seems like a bad idea all-round judging by that thread.

[oliegirl]

Don't do it! Just take Jeeb's word for it.

Bsak sounds as if he is speaking from experience...perhaps the memory of that is what inspired his screen name????

Not first hand...but the shrill of my college roommate screaming that his balls are on fire is etched in my brain. It's the only time I've seen a grown man cry that wasn't grieving the death of a loved one.

[RendeR]

NAIR is a case by case basis thing for everyone. if your skin is even mildly sensitive to anything, if you've ever gotten random rashed for no obvious reason then AVOID NAIR at all costs.

however, if you have no allergies and your skin doesn't react to harsh chemicals much at all then you're going to be fine.

They also make a Sensitive skin formula which is perfectly safe for the b___sack, to coin a phrase...;)

[MikeVic]

Ok maybe I'll try it under my arms then.

Couple things probably caused this, A) he was probably allergic to something in it and B: he probably rubbed it in.

NEVER RUB NAIR INTO YOUR SKIN. follow the directions carefully to avoid agonizing pain =)

[Dr. Sak]

Well it didn't help that it was a dare while we were all drunk. There is always one idiot in every group :)

[RendeR]

Oh my. yeah, there is always one. Never NAIR when drunk ;)

Not as bad as a Deep Heet handjob.

Um, so I've heard.

[Lorena]

Hey Loren, where's your coloured text and rolleyes emoticon??

Bite me! go rub some nair on your legs.

[Dr. Sak]

Um, so I've heard.

Same goes with a hand job and sex right after your girlfriend and you make salsa and hand cut a ton of jalapeños.

[RendeR]

You know, I was going to make a leacherous sexual innuendo here, but frankly, Lorena scares me....

[MikeVic]

No no, go ahead, leacher away!

[RendeR]

*chuckles* No, she's dangerous ;)
