My wife and I went to a local college today, to get some information about classes for her son, who is 17 and will probably go there next year.

I was wearing this shirt, and the admissions lady almost asked me if I was the 17 year-old. Yeah. I'm 34 and have a goatee.

"See, that's what you get when you wear a banana-colored shirt with a giraffe hugging a dinosaur on it." I said. "It effectively halves your age."

The lady was amused. My wife was horrified. I thought about declaring that nobody understands me before storming out to my bedroom and slamming the door.

I just grinned, instead. "You can buy it online," I said.

Woo-hoo! A drunk 21 year old in a night club thought I was 25. Not quite the same, but I'm clinging on to it anyway.

you may have even been on an episode or two of ST:TNG, but i could be wrong. ;)

what does patrick stewart smell like?

Oh, and incidentally, this blog is not a knock on this shirt -- which I love -- at all. I just thought it was really funny that this lady acted like she did.

EFDisaster on Oct 24 '06 at 4:14pm
well college admissions is what the college gives you as a consolation prize when you can't find a real job with their degree, right? she was probably a little disgruntled
staffell
staffell on Oct 24 '06 at 4:15pm
interesting that you chose to say "online" rather than "online, at a place called threadless.com"
wilwheaton
wilwheaton on Oct 24 '06 at 4:19pm
I actually did say "at threadless.com." I chose to omit that for dramatical-writing-esque reasons that I can't really explain, but seemed to make sense at the time.

right after I fell off my bike I had to get a root canal and the dentist was a big fan of TNG and I made the procedure a lot easier by telling him in great detail about the episode that had just aired which was the one with the virtual reality video game that takes over people's minds.

wil was one of the few that resisted playing the game. oh how wil helped me through that root canal. I should really thank him for that.

Thanks, Wil! You made my root canal tolerable.

don't think too much of it. in fact, read neal cassidy's book, the first third and then you'll feel much better about the whole thing.
