"Like A Virgin" turns 41 next month

I was 11 & obsessed with it upon debut

it's noon so now I'm feel like going to have a drink and contemplating how a not insignificant chunk of my life is behind me while looking at used Boxsters

what's the album anniversary that makes you feel old?

Mine is Green Day's Dookie turning 31, because I bought it with my own money after walking to the record store down the street before basketball practice when I was 11.

Late Registration turning 20; because it came out after college graduation?

Updating my priors & may have to apologize for my old posted Schottenheimer opinions

Was anti-Pete long before other fans joined [2018-ish? oft had to defend that early stance], but the more data I see reinforces my opinion Pete got lucky w/the cards dealt him & was mostly a good 'locker room' guy

might be my least favorite. even worse that all of those [I refused to even touch 2 of them - me & 8]

it's just... bad

more importantly, it'll never be right or good

I think I would proactively exclude anyone from my life if they disagreed with that 🤣

98 was "better" but 95 is my sentimental OG and I bump it higher because of the "innovation"¹

and I took the extended life option as I qualified for it for free, but would have paid. win10 is that good and win11 [which I use at work] is that bad

as a 30 year "primary" Windows user I will politely agree to disagree

it's a no brainer top 5, and in some ways competes for top spot though it depends on what day of the week you ask me that

[my top 5 in chron, but not rank, order: 3.1, 95, XP, 7, 10 - 95 over 98 is the only one that's not firm]

would also be happy for the Brewers. be pretty cool to see a world series where it's guaranteed the winner would be a 1st timer

as a Phillies fan old enough to have the pain Joe Carter's 1993 home run burned into by brain, I am overjoyed at the Mariners taking a 2 game lead back to Seattle. no forgiveness lol

Ms are a really fun team to watch too. hard not to want them to win it all
