As legend goes, a former neighbor of a Never Not Funny staffer dropped a bag of shredded cheddar cheese while making a burrito. It wasn't a simple drop, oh no. In true Never Not Funny fashion, it was one of those drop-fumble-I've got it-drop again-bobble-I've got it again-bobble again-fall to the floor drops. Legend has it that this middle-aged white Anglo-Saxon protestant then stated, "A year ago, I would have caught that." Yes, the older I get, the better I was.
Fast-forward a few years and this legendary conversation where the phrase "the older I get, the better I was" was coined and we find thievery. Someone else has started making t-shirts with our slogan. Without our approval. Without even asking. Needless to say, we aren't receiving any royalty checks or anything, either.
Oh well, our loss is the world's gain. In the spirit of spreading Never Not Funny cheer, you can get your own gear at Old Guys Rule.
