How did you turn 30?

[w.o.e.is.me.]

I'm considering doing it with a bang and quietly (on different nights).
any celebration stories or tales of woe?

and making this SF relevant, I'm trying to decide what to get myself for becoming a big boy.

#grailshoe?
#grailsportscoat?
#grailwatch?

open to suggestions for all.
price <= 1$k

The day of my 30th birthday I flew to Miami, jumped on a cruise ship, and set sail for the Caribbean with my wife and a couple with whom we're very close. I spent the trip drinking heavily, enjoying the sights at the ports of call, and winning in the casino.

On my 30th birthday I didn't feel well, but went to work. I felt worse, and went to the doctor. The nurse put me in the room to wait for the doctor. He walked in with my chart in his hand, and said &quot;here's the problem. Your warranty just ran out. Happy birthday.&quot;

The exact moment I turned 30 I believe I was parking. I went to the office, had a normal day at work, and then with about 40 or 50 friends we had bought up a big section of the bleachers at Camden Yards and we watched the O's vs. Nationals. I still have a pair of the tickets on my bulletin board at work. They even put my name up on the big screen for a minute. Unfortunately, they spelled it "Douglass."

I'm not some Orioles superfan or anything, I go to just a few games a year, but it was a really nice fun way to get a bunch of people together and enjoy a beautiful evening outside taking in a casual game. The next weekend my fiancee had planned a surprise party for me. They caught me 100% off-guard.

grail shoe vote here! at least it may still fit when you turn 40.

Snorted a huge pile of coke, smeared the rest on the end of ******* and screwed like an invading Hun for several hours. Pretty sure RubeBabeII™ was conceived that night.

again, you're the man!



I honestly don't think that I did anything special. I might have been at a trade show. I had broken up with a girlfriend recently. I got a tatoo. that's about it

 

[DerekS]

go for the shoes. No question.

I honestly don't remember.

Stupid ass friends.

Surprised no one said "By not dying the previous 29 years".

#grailwatch -- it'll last longer than the shoos
