You should be familiar with this then:
Linky!
Happy birthday!
And my own contribution to the list:
- I realized that there's no end-game so I decided to reroll.

Great album.
I've been trying to reroll into a mastermind, but I seem stuck in this aging and fatter by the month SS/WP brute body.
Happy bday, Steelclaw. Thanks for all the lists!
Be well, people of CoH.
Happy Birthday ListMan!

Happy BD, happy crisis and let this not be mid-life for you, but merely the first 1/3 of it.
And please... keep those lists coming! 
I believe that a Kheldian Gold Standard should be based on SO's, and for anything above that... there's Platinum!

Happy Birthday Steelclaw.
From one 40 year old to another, if it is down hill from here let it be the sort of downhill that gets people screaming and enjoying themselves, like a roller coaster or a Bobsled run.
We will not go easily, nor quietly into the middle age they talk about.

i'll be 44 in a few days, and i avoided my mid-life crisis by following my Dad's (who is 66) sage advice: "When i found out i got to have a second childhood, i decided to never end my first."
It is working out well for both he and i.
I reject your reality and substitue my own!

Happy B-day Mister Claw.
What kind of cake would you like?
Opps, the cake is a lie. How about Pie? 
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

They all laughed at me when I said I wanted to be a comedian.
But I showed them, and nobody's laughing at me now!

First of all, thanks so much for all the birthday wishes... It made my day... especially since the other high point of my birthday was taking my lady-love in to get her flu vaccine shot... which promptly made her sick... |

Some present.
Any-who... as far as how old I would be if I didn't know how old I was... I can say with great certainty that I have no idea how biologically old I am... I can also say that I have no concept of my maturity age, mental age or emotional age.
I am happily muddled... a mixture of old and young... wise and foolish... gallant and goofball... and I wouldn't change a thing about myself.
Except my bank account total... I may change that.

"Besides, we can get another cat." Okay that one really got me laughing . Happy Birthday. Just remember that you're only young once, but you can be immature and childish your entire life. 40 I was okay with, but then again I bought a car with a wing spoiler at 38....

Today, Nov 2nd, will mark my 40th birthday. Being an organized sort of person, I realized that my mid-life crisis is likely right around the corner and it got me thinking that I should start making preparations for it.
That '69 Corvette ain't gonna pay for itself, ya know.
Anyway, I won't bore you with the details of my own, mundane, descent into temporary insanity, instead I'll bore you with how our lovely heroes and villains may handle the same situation.
So, Mid-Life Crisis: City Of Heroes Style...
* "I don't care if I can fly... The Maserati isn't for ME... it's... well... it's for my secret identity."
* "Listen... I'm bored with this... I've lived half my life away and what have I really accomplished? Oh sure, I've repelled Rikti Invasions, thwarted Nemesis Plots and saved the world more times than I can count... but I've never even left this CITY! That's it... I'm going to Disney World!"
* "Don't look at me that way! I still love you... it's just that I looked at you today and realized I was never going to have sex with any other person but you for the rest of my life... What the hell do you mean 'now I'M depressed'?!"
* "It's not cheating if I do it with one of my own Illusions honey! No, even if she DOES look just like Sister Psyche... What do you mean you know Manticore's home phone number?!"
* "I'm not old! I'm not even GETTING old! Why, Statesman is far older than me and no one thinks HE'S middle aged! No, I don't think his being immortal should count."
* "No, I am NOT getting glasses. My vision is just as good today as it was when I was 20. It was an honest mistake! No, I don't think having laser vision requires me to set aside my pride for the sake of safety. Besides, we can get another cat."
* "I'm thinking of changing from being a Thugs Mastermind to Mercenaries. Oh, no reason... it's just that... well... these new young minions of mine... I can't tell what the (censored) they're saying half the time! What the hell is a 'homie' anyway?!"
* "Dangit... I don't care if the sunnuva canine female is coming out with Windows 7. My robots have been running just fine on Windows 98 these last years and I'm not 'upgrading' them. Gates is why I became a villain in the first place!"
* "Well, Doc... I guess the reason I've decided to start therapy is... well... I'm a super-villain who doesn't want to rule the world... there... I said it... truth is I don't even want to rule my neighborhood... or my house for that matter... Doc, will I just be a minion all my life?"
* "Stop laughing! Just because I have to suck in my gut a little to put on my power armor... No I will NOT 're-size' the armor! Can you imagine how stupid this would look with a built-in pot belly? Dangit woman, a few sit ups will take care of this anyway."
* "I need to get a gym membership... Why? Because super-speed isn't all that useful if you can only run 30 feet before falling over from hyper-ventilation."
