That was perfect! I'm glad the poll encouraged me to read it.

Gosh, Dr. Dreadful. I don't know if I should be ashamed or secretly pleased, but I'm old enough to be your wife's mother, and I'll still find something to wear there, although I refuse to buy the large-logo items. I guess the American Idol age limit coincides with the one for the FBI. If you're over 35, you're too old to begin a job there. I'm sure there is a correlation but I'm not sure what it is... ;-)

The reason for the age limit on American Idol is twofold. The record industry is looking for someone young enough to be: a) dumb enough to be exploited; b) a worthwhile long-term investment. [/cynicism]

"Likewise, I'm probably too old for shopping trips to Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch..." Bah. Anyone who's had the umbilical cord cut is too old for those places. Dunno exactly how old you are, but my wife was in Abercrombie's "men's" section a year or two ago looking for shirts. The assistant asked her if she was shopping for her son. She was 30 at the time.

Yes, Diana. You can only make a fool of yourself (uh-hem, try out) on American Idol if you're under 35.
