It's Easter, and I'm not eating easter eggs because I'm looking forward to gorging myself at an all you can eat chocolate buffet this Thursday. The cost for such an indulgent activity? $20. I probably can't stuff myself with $20 worth of chocolate but I sure as hell am gonna try!
While my friends might binge on alcohol and spend far more than $20 on a night out, I think that this chocolate challenge is similar in terms of self abuse. I'm gonna eat and drink chocolate and I'm gonna be sick and I'm gonna keep eating and drinking it 'cause I want my money's worth damn it... and like my friends who enjoy getting smashed by the nectar of the gods, I'm gonna later regret it. You're never too old for chocolate... unless you have diabetes.
Speaking of older, I turned 30 last month and you know what my supportive workmate said to me? He said, "They say 30 is the new 50". Thanks Dan. I actually celebrated by having a 60th birthday party. You see, my old schoolmate turns 30 in the same month, so by combining our celebration we had ours 60th themed. Guests had to dress up as old people and to top off the theme, we held the do at a lawn bowls club. Despite all the fun we had, I hope didn't offend the genuine senior citizens at the bowls club. Soon after the event I said to my gf, "I feel old", to which she nonchalantly replies, "But you are".

No ... us older people wouldn't have been offended. We are used to having the piss taken out of us by ignorant young gits who have not yet caught up with the news that the average age of the Australian Lawn Bowls team is YOUNGER than the average age of the Australian Test Cricket Team! But that is more the fault of those at the head of our sport who charge us exorbitant fees to register as bowlers and to buy expensive bowls uniforms with a fancy logo on them, then do a hopeless job of publicizing, in the mass media, the young stars we now have doing so well playing the game. For example Joolz .... bet you have never heard of 19 year old Kelsey Cottrell ... the Australian Women's Lawn Bowls Champion.
Hi Gordon. It's always a surprise when people stumble across my blog and even leave a comment. Thanks for taking the time!
Good to hear that my party theme was not offensive.
How *did* you come upon my blog anyway? Do you have some sort of notification when people talk about lawn bowls on blogger?
