How sad is it that my new touchstone for how old I am is "am I too old to audition for Reality tv?"

I guess that's all you get after you've passed the driving, voting & drinking ages. I am currently too old for Real World (which I've actually never seen) and American Idol. I am still in the range for The Apprentice (blah) and The Amazing Race (yay!)

I will not even deem things like The Bachelor & Fear Factor with the respect of checking the rules.

How can--what?! How can you be too old to audition for any of those things? You personally, and anyone?

Wow, I guess society now thinks that if you're past thirty you really do go in the garbage bin.

Not that I'm assuming you're past thirty. ;)

My friend Lisa and I used to watch the Real World Hawaii together over the phone in grad school, and we discussed trying out for it until we found out we'd both just passed over the cutoff age. Then we were heartbroken. Seriously! Sharon from Real World London was how old?

No to burst your bubble, but dude. Meredith and Gretchen on the Amazing Race are how old? I think as long as you're physically able, they'll take you.

I'm way past that one, and I'm too old to donate eggs, and I'll soon be too old to apply to be an astronaut. If I remember the chart right, I'm almost at the turnover point (late thirties? forty?) where staying on the pill is more likely to kill me than a pregnancy is.

There aren't a whole lot of positive milestones along the way until maybe senior discounts at Denny's or qualifying for Medicare.
