Nifty Fifty (AKA, Why Men Suck)

Oh, I'm just kidding!  Men don't suck!  It's just incredibly unfair how they get gooder and gooder looking, while us women, well...we don't. 

Case in point: THE BIRTHDAY BOY!  Tom Cruise is no stranger to the pages of BBB!, so we have to send up his 50th birthday with a bang.  I don't mean to bring him into my ever present discussion of how men age gracefully, but while looking through some Google images, this unfair rite of passage was brought to the forefront of my mind once again.

Here's Thomas Cruise Mapother IV's senior high picture:



And, here he is NOW:



Sure, he was a cute lookin' senior kid.  But, REALLY?  REALLY.  Now he's distinguished, with laugh lines that are considered handsome instead of heinous, and well...he just looks a lot better than that little boy did in 1980.  I don't believe in bringing my sex down, so instead of posting a current photo of Kelly McGillis, Mr. Cruise's Top Gun co-star, I'll just give you this link to click on.  Let's just say life isn't always fair for the fairer sex.

Anyway...back to the subject at hand.  Tom Cruise is FIFTY!  Happy birthday, old chum.  Come over for dinner sometime.  We'll chat, talk about whatnot, and you'll have no judgment in our house, so it'll be a relaxed, fun evening.  We might even break out some 80s Scene It.  Now, THAT sounds like a great way to spend 50.
