Next year we're going as media. No, really, it's "research."

Cougar As de facto experts on all things cougar—not just because were 40-whatever but because we actually watched The Cougar—we were really sad to have missed the Miss Cougar America pageant at the National Cougar Convention held recently in our backyard jungle.

Forty Fifty-whatever women, twenty-whatever men. Plenty of white zin and "Brick House." Curmudgeons like hotel guest Mark Friedman, 45, of Boston who, after surveying the scene, scoffed, "I've never seen so many useless 20-year-olds in my life."

What the hell were we thinking?!?! How could we have missed that?!

We feel as though we've let you, our dear readers, down. We promise it won't happen again.

Next time, we'll be there to see the winner crowned and will toast her with our Cosmos. We're sure the pageant will have a media contact by then so we can request our badges.

Our PRESS badges.

Woo-hoo! I'm in. I'll be 39 by then and on the brink of… something.

Can I go as a representative of the male population that prefers women in their 40's to women in their 20's?

No offense to the younger women, but my oldest child is 20... the thought of getting down with a women in her 20's is effin' skeevy!

Miss Cougar America at Dinah's in Palo Alto?!? That's awesome! I'd go just to see what in the world might be in a Cougar Kit! Can't wait for your coverage next year!

40 Whatever Approved

Things to Do When We're 40 (The Not Bucket List)

  • A barbecue tour of the South
    We'll start in the Carolinas and end in Texas and sample the best barbecue America has to offer. Why? Because we like meat.
  • Hotel Living
    We like: mini bars, movies, and lounging around in our pajamas with our laptops right where they are supposed to be. We'll bring running shoes to pretend like we're going to work out, but really, who are we kidding. You see where this is going?
  • Knock some sense into dumb people
    We'd love to be the camp counselors on a show like the Real World or Rock of Love.
  • Eating Dinner in a Vineyard While the Sun Sets
    You know those scenes of a dining table set in a Tuscan or Sonoma vineyard dressed with beautiful linens and people sitting around it drinking wine and eating and laughing while the sun goes down? We want to be those people.
  • Yoga Retreat in New Mexico
    Some of our fondest memories are of spending time doing yoga together. Do other wannabe yoginis spend the entire class laughing together? We do.
