Youth is wasted on the young. I'm lucky I survived in one piece!

Yep. Remembering the numbskull stunts I pulled in my ute boggles the mind. These days I have to map out a strategy just to go into the kitchen so's I don't pull something.

Do you suppose the insurance on that venue is through the roof ?

Not everybody is as old as you (or me)!
That said, I have definitely gotten more risk-adverse than I used to be, but that does kinda look like fun.

"The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in."
