On Getting Older
by Joey Manley
You’re walking through a maze. It has clear walls. As you walk through the maze, you can see the people trying to navigate the parts of the maze that you’ve already figured out. Sometimes you see one of them turn down a blind alley. “Hey!” you shout to him. “You’d be better off turning left there instead of right.”
“Fuck you, old man,” says the person on the other side of the clear wall. “What do you know?”
At that point, because you weren’t paying attention to what you were doing, you run down a blind alley yourself. Some old codger who’s ahead of you in the maze sees this, and laughs at you.
Moral: watch where you’re walking.

I kinda got the moral that old people were bastards.
Old people a great like that.

Joey do you have a record player where the needle is pterodactyl perched on it that occasionally says: “It’s a living?”
Also: What’s a record player?

That’s why I think it’s more fun to watch the young and headstrong blunder headon down the same wrong turns you made, so you can laugh at them. 90+% of the time they’re gonna blow off your warnings or advice anyway, so why not just watch and laugh?

William G: That would have been a much funnier ending. Damn you!
Tim: Yes!
Victor: So you’re the guy who was up ahead of me! Damn you!

Mazes are for dummies! What you really need is a helicopter or a jetpack!

Set up a lawnchair in the maze and have popcorn whilst the kidlets bump into the walls. They’re not going to listen anyway, might as well have a laugh.

At what point does the Minotaur show up?

A minotaur would liven things up!
