Man ain't that the truth....

I can't tell you the number of times I've been in situations (stuck in an express line at the super market behind somebody with a full basket, cut off in traffic, dealing with a brain dead bureaucrat) where I've thought to myself, "gee, I wish there was a sniper around"...

Everyone is airbrushed like that in the magazines, whether they like or not. Stars much younger than Madonna are airbrushed to unrealistic perfection.

She still looks great in the un-retouched photo; plenty of women would love to look that good and be in shape like she is at 50.

I smell haters. :roll:

50 is old?

I guess if someone has destroyed their liver by 30, they would think so...

In dog years, maybe.

That's what comes of repeated ethanol poisoning.

If you had nothing better going on and caught the Grammys last night, Adele showed what real singing talent is.

That's the point: in dog years, I'd be seven and a half, again appearing under thirty.

Whatever reason, you keep saying I look younger than I am- Thank You.

Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

I figured if the drunkard was going to see double, everyone else should be able to experience it from her point of view. :)

Nope, I used the OnlineConversion.com Dog Years Calculator ...but thX for the obsession over me.

Some will say, you should have used the thread Sean provided, but hijacking is the sincerest form of flattery. ;)

To be 7.5 in dog years you'd be mid-40s in human years; the logic doesn't compute. :loon

...except that, I am in my mid-forties. Reality prevails, and defies artificial demographics!

Like I said, I get that I appear youthful, a lot! Suck it, bee-tches! ;)

Except that when you said you were flattered I thought you looked 30 (which I never said, btw), I said, "maybe in dog years". If you looked 30 in dog years that would mean you look like a 133 year old human, according to your calculator. Given your chronic alcohol abuse, I'd say that's about right.

And that's why you're so jealous that Madonna looks so good for her age, and why you have the need to tear her down so much.

...except that if you followed the link, dog years are calculated for dogs, to equate their ages to humans; unless you're making a joke such as 'In dog years, I'd be dead' since a conversion of human to dog years, would actually be downwards.

True, you didn't specifically say, 'you were flattered I thought you looked 30' ...that was a jest. Since I also didn't say I was jealous of Madonna, then you must have been joking. I understand you're prone to wild exaggeration, when you kid, so we're even. ;)

You are definitely nothing but a joke, on that we certainly can agree.
