Getting old sucks! In the list of notable births, Morty is the first one to still be alive ... and he's younger than me!

What I don't get about this site is that their models are all young.......in their 20"s!!

Maybe they figured there aren't enough 80+ year olds on the internet to generate significant buying volume...........and of course they're gifts.

But if I was buying a gift shirt for my wife, I wouldn't try it on to see how it looked on me first.
