It's not until your late 40s that your eyes start misbehaving, and that's the first irritation.
Unless you're me, where my eyes took a major nosedive in my mid 20s.

Happy birthday Freehold!
Remember, after forty the women start to think you look like James Bond.
...unless you're NH or John, in which case you look more like a Bond villain, or if you're female, in which case you look more like the new M.
Cap's too scrawny to be Bond. He's more like "Assassin number three."
All I've seen of Vany is a disembodied hand holding a beer bottle, but Bond doesn't drink beer.
Granted, the sample set is not large, but it's not encouraging.
Corrected this. Also, while I occasionally will have a beer, my go-to for a nice recap is a single malt scotch. Still not in the "shaken not stirred" category, but closer.
I could see Cap in that Assassin Number 3 role. But...

My six pack and pecs disagree on the scrawny assessment.
Also I've been told I look like 1) Brad Pitt in Legends of the Fall, 2) Antonio Banderas, 3) Eddie Vedder, 4) Jesus, and 5) Weird Al.
I really do see the Eddie Vedder angle, but you're a bit taller than him. Not so much Antonio Banderas or Weird Al.
And the artists make Jesus look like you.

I think I'm fitter then I was in my 20s. I spent my 20s being a sit on the arse that might occasionally go out for a nature ramble. I bet if my current self went to my high school to challenge my past self for a 2.4km run, my past self would go like, wtf, how the hell do you do that?!
Though my past self would do a better job at jumping the standing broad jump, for some reason even though I've probably been jumping more then I have in high school.

More seriously, thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!
I am about to stuff my face at denny's and will then go home to shave, play some video games, watch rogue one, and then go into Manhattan for the evenings festivities- wo hop for dinner and apotheke for absinthe!

(Seriously. My kindergarteners made cookies in class on Wednesday, and I have so many left over.
Also I have a tin of gingerbread madeleines that Hermione and Val made.
Would that I actually could instantly transport them.)
Are you sure they're "madeleines"? Tucker Carlson informs me that they're obviously gingerbread men. And suggesting otherwise is apparently stupid.

Yeah, but Monopoly takes hours to play so isn't great for a 50 minute class period.

I suppose I should mention, that when my kids said I looked like Antonio Banderas it was when he was playing Burgerbeard the pirate in SpongeBob SquarePants, Sponge Out of Water.

You've never seen me in a tacky button down shirt after I've shaved my beard with just a goatee, it even surprised me how much I look like Weird Al when I do that.

Feeling recharged after a quick nap. Man, I love being in my thirties. WOOT!Hey, rest of Fawtl, what are your thirties like? I've never been there.My best description of my 30s is that all the people who say, "You won't be able to do that when you're in your 30s" are fools. You're still in the prime of your life, and there's really no noticeable change from your 20s, except maybe you have a little less energy.
It's not until your late 40s that your eyes start misbehaving, and that's the first irritation.
I'd say at 51 I've lost a small amount of strength and flexibility, but stretching and exercising every day keeps it at a minimum.
My herniated discs, which I started collecting at the ripe old age of 31-32, disagree with you.
And my eyes started misbehaving at birth, and then again in 2nd grade for a different reason.
But I'm anecdotal small sample size, so carry on.

That was some 30 years ago...
I'd say at 51 I've lost a small amount of strength and flexibility, but stretching and exercising every day keeps it at a minimum.
I took a noticeable hit to my metabolism around 34-36, when the problems with teeth started, together with getting fatter, and getting sick more often than for the previous ten or twelve years.

It's an apt national metaphor - a sponge is indeed emblematic of wringing out every last drop of viability past the point of reason.

My guess is because it's funnier to make a bigger deal out of something as inconsequential as a cartoon being popular than it is a heavy political issue beyond the control of the average citizen.
Bleak reflection on current events is sad.
Exaggerated overreaction to pop cultural ephemera is silly.
