It started when i was 2 years old. 0 years old if you count the shorts, i'm middle aged in a few years. It's probably still gonna be on when i'm just ashes in an urn.

35 isn´t middle aged...

It is if you only live to 70

"Middle-aged" doesn´t refer to the half-way point in your life...

I'm afraid it does. It was scientifically proven by Stephen Hawking before he wheeled off this mortal coil. It's called Hawking's Third Law of Middleagedodynamification. Look it up.

Ah yes, the old "troll/bad joke response rather than admit you are wrong," trick.

Or maybe it's the old "Give someone a ridiculous response when they take an obvious quip as a literal statement" trick. Now go help your bro Christian with his receding hairline.

I was under 30, and my Mom was still alive. I think Terminator was new back then, and we watched the Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense. She was ill but she enjoyed having a diversion. She liked intelligent movies, or at least something made well, like Terminator.

This show began before I was born. I saw my first episode when I was a child around 1994-1995. My parents were still considered young adults then; my father is now retired and my mother is about 7 years away from hitting retirement age. I myself have long since graduated from college, and I’ve held full-time jobs for years.
