Yesterday I got a wild hair to have less wild hair, and cut most of it off (I
now resemble the logo more than ever). Later in the day we picked up some
supplies for an impromptu cookout and because there was beer in our cart, the
young lady at the checkout asked for my driver license! Now I'm not going to
kid myself that I suddenly look underage as much as she was just clueless. On
the other hand, I don't think I will ever shop anywhere else... and she sure
looked mystified when I tipped her.

Tipping a checkout girl (or boy, political correctness fans)?!? Unheard of in the UK...Dito for Germany. Then again, maybe they're being paid minimal wage here.
Anyone remember when people weren't greedy, and instead just wanted enough money to live comfortably?
Me neither.
GO TEAM CAPITALISM!!
Give it a few decades and things will change. A lot. When we run out of resources and money and the environment is shot to hell.
Yay.

Those poor video rental places are going to be losing money because the studios want more.

Good thinking, nin! Blue could pose in a hazard suit and wield a crowbar for the release of the game! I bet you could secure yourself a copy of the game at least 
There was only one catch and that was Catch-22

Which one?
I kid, I kid...If I were you, Blue, I'd be telling Valve they need a spokesperson for the HL2 blitz this fall. You could make some cash off your looks, no joke.

Blue, my wife works at a grocery store in Putnam County ("upstate" NY :D) and is required by company policy to card everyone that appears to be under the age of 30. She tends to get 2 responses to the questions. Those that are flattered, usually 25-35 women and those that get huffy, usually 21+ males especially if they forgot their drivers license. If she doesn't ask then she can be fired.
