    The four discussion topics of young men:

    1. Watching sports
    2. Superhero who would win debates
    3. Stories about playing video games
    4. Which women might possibly give them a scrap of pussy

    The four topics of middle aged men:

    1. Their kids' sports
    2. Their failing bodies
    3. Their parents' failing bodies
    4. Bowling

    I am both excited and horrified to learn the four topics of old men.

      Okay, for 2 a co-worker and I play Deadliest Warrior where it's like that Simpsons joke of who was better, Muhammad Ali in his prime or anti lock brakes and then do a but together where we improve the entire episode. I've found I can get around this stuff by being really good at doing bits and incorporating others into them, usually with really weird hypotheticals like 'what would you do if you were invisible but only to animals?' 'How long do you think you would survive if cars were legally prohibited from stopping for you specifically?' Or 'what if you could read minds but only when people were thinking negatively about you?'
