Good idea, Stoatie. If anything, it might get me free drinks.

Mine was okay, although the gap between it and 29 was somewhat marred by my angsting about all the stuff I hadn't done before 30 (travelling the world, becoming rich and famous, etc.) and, of course, 30 is considered retirement age for gayers. I recall writing gloomily about it on Barbelith, back in the dayyy...

But yeah, turning 30 itself was fine. I could abandon a whole load of twentysomething baggage and concentrate on doing the things I liked. And I moved to London and discovered the bear scene, for older, fatter, hairier gayers! Hooray!

I think Flybs is just concerned for your reputation, Kali.

I'm touched. And yes, I'm being serious.

Perhaps I'm wrong, and this thread should be a place wherein Dead Megatron, and the contribution he has made to the board, are celebrated. Perhaps people should link to their favourite Dead Megatron posts, the ones where he's been most intelligent, witty, perceptive. Perhaps this will alter my opinion that encountering a post by Dead Megatron in a thread is, at best, inconsequential, and at worst, a bit like finding a turd on one's front doorstep.

I think it's somewhere his birthday should be celebrated, certainly.

I don't think we should be celebrating failiure. Specifically the failiure of an abortionist.
 
 
Ganesh

[pedant] Or failure of spelling "failure", come to that. [/pedant]

Now that's what I call out of order. Care to unpack that Triplets?

A man with Triplets' upper torso can get away with the odd orthographic infelicity, G.

True. I don't think he and Chantelle are gonna last, though, once the OK! photographer leaves.

Oh, and happy birthday, flowers. I hope you look(ed?) like one of these two:

 
 
Dead Megatron
17:13 / 02.09.06
While the guy's almost 100% guaranteed to be wrong about any given topic

Pure comedy. And who's to jugde who's right and who's wrong? The majority? Or the elite?

Other than that, thanks for the good sentiment.

[and I'm getting close to move for Flyboy and Triplet to be banned on the grounds of uncalled harassment. At my own party, no less]

I'm sure DM'll be all right, Duncan. My great-nephew threatened to take a contract out on DM a while ago, as did my sister, but he's still knocking about the place, and everyone else concerned is now in rehab.
 
 
Ganesh
17:28 / 02.09.06
Ah, but can the porn-star shades hide those crying eyes?

Hope you're enjoying the 30th birthday hangover, DM. May it be a champagne one.
 
 
Dead Megatron
17:29 / 02.09.06
I'm having thae big party tonigh. Yesternight, and the night before that, have been just the warm-up.
 
 
Ganesh
17:35 / 02.09.06
Ahhh. Enjoy it, then. Once you're into your 30s, your body just won't do hangovers with the same ease. Voice of Doom, but STRONG TRUTH nonetheless.

Have fun, huh? Ignore the naysayers, listen to the happy-praise, and, most importantly, treat yourself.

Ugh, you should go easy on the Strong Truth, or it'll lead to hangovers in its turn. Weak Speculation is easier on the brain and stomach.

That said, I've a fine case of One True Way leftover from elsewhere, and it's yours if you want it on this specialest of days...
 
 
Ganesh

I find Fluffy Self-Delusion is best for celebrations. As you get older, you need more of it...

Happy Birthday Dead Megatron!

Being thirty was nice, and a colleague confided to me: "It´s 40, where it gets bad."

So enjoy your new year (and perusing the crush thread, you seem to do it, in spite of spoilsports), Hooray!

I just need to check, who on this board is younger than me and therefore fully deserving of my bile?
 
 
Ganesh
19:35 / 02.09.06
Not me, Flowers. I'm afraid that, chronologically speaking, you're my bile-bitch.

He thinks he's got oh so many better things to do than show up on Barbeith, but he doesn't. Not really.

Is anyone in their twenties? I only read, that Triplets is. We had the one with his comics safe, but it´s been a while, since he gave some life signs.

Christ, I'm not far off that horrible point where I can no longer come up with even a half-hearted reason as to why I should call it "early-to-mid-thirties", and it becomes indisputably, literally "mid". Then it'll be "mid-to-late", then "late", then, well...
 
 
Ganesh
20:45 / 02.09.06
Ahead of you, Stoatie. I've got two, maybe three years in me before 'late' starts to look overdue...

The five years between now and forty are starting to look like the shortest years ever made...

...DAMN, this is bumming me out. Enjoy 30, DM and Flowers. Let us LIVE THROUGH YOU...
 
 
Kiltartan Cross
20:46 / 02.09.06
I'm in my twenties, but I shan't say which end.

I'm 99 years old. Says so on my MySpace profile; must be true.

You're all my bile bitches now, Dave.

100 posts!

Wow, I feel loved (no sarcasm)

And this thread really feels like an actual 30 years party: people talking amongst themselves, a few bumps, the smell of booze and inconsequential flirting!

I'm still in the mood to put aside any differences and invite everybody to do the conga in the dance floor wiht me, but now my real-life party is about to begin. Friends and family are starting to arrive and I have to get myself dressed-up - though not in the 10th Doctor outfit (no one would get the joke) - and be a good host.

I'll come back tomorrow, possibly with some pics (no promises)

"It´s 40, where it gets bad."

Mistoffelees, you could not be more wrong. I was having a great time throughout my thirties and then, as my thirties were ending, I won the lottery when I met Ganesh. Everything fell into place then and from that point on life just kept kept improving. My forties were unbelieveably good and I foresee enviable and ecstatic years ahead!

May you all be so lucky, or so well prepared.

Yeah, that's all well and good, Xoc, but you've already bagged Ganesh. That means 40 has little left to offer the rest of us...
