Things I haven't done (and likely won't ever): 1. Eaten a Twinkie. [View all]

Now...BROWNIES are a whole 'nuther story. You put a brownie in front of me and it will magically disappear.
You won't even see it leave the plate. Especially if it has pecans in it.

2. Had a facebook account. OMG! i ws UNfriended by mitzy. hw cd she DO that? shes a btch.

3. Used caller ID.
a. It costs money, every month, that I don't need to spend in order to have a nice life.
b. Every call is a surprise. I LOVE surprises.

Downside: every asshole in the world ASSUMES that I know who's calling. Hell, EVERYONE has caller ID, right? So no longer do I hear "Hi, this is XXXX, may I speak to ZZZZZ?" Common telephone courtesy is DEAD.

4. Had a 'smartphone'. My dumbphone is complicated enough. Miz t. is the only one here who knows how to check voicemails.

5. Been to a rock concert. Or a concert of any kind where you're not sitting down. I don't like standing crowds larger that 10 or so. And that should be a cocktail party.
Do people do these any more? I do, but it's a dying social event. More's the pity.

6. Skateboarded. That's all I need to say about that.

Did I mention I'm a geezer?
Oh. You already knew that?
