imomusI don't know whether to laugh or cry at this recent exchange on alt.fan.momus:
xyzedd: The sad thing is that Momus is one of the few "pop" artists over 30 who has become yet more original and inventive as he grows older; most of them run out of ideas or run their ideas into the ground by the time they get their first gray hair.
Roshan: Sometimes when my friends are talking about how horrible it will be to be middle-aged, I usually just point to people like Momus and say that I can't wait. I mean, imagine all the books you'll have read, people you'll know!
Roshan, it is great, but sometimes I feel like when people ask my age, instead of the real answer (44, m**********r!) I should just say umpteen.
