How could a woman so small make such big noises when she stamps her foot?

I am grown up and I dont like it. Can I be little again? Stupid Stupid Stupid time making me older.

Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
I agree. I won't grow up! I won't! You can't make me!

(But I will eat my lima beans. )

Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
being a grown-up is waaaay over-rated.

Posted by Frio on :
 
So I hear. When I grow up, I'm going to marry rich so I never have to take a dumbass receptionist job like the one I have now.

Wait - damn it! I think it might be too late.

Someone pass the lima beans. I need comfort food.

When I grow up, the world will kneel before me as I claim the glorious prize that is my birthright. I'm thinking posh palaces, powers over life and death, my exploits recounted in song and story.

Darwyn Cooke's DC: The New Frontier, Chapter 9, Page 20, Panel 2. I believe it's near the end of Issue 4 of the mini-series. It's the scene with the caption "What flashed before my eyes was the life I never had"

---

With Rick Flagg and the love of his life holding hands...great scene Tamper.

Oh, and er, my virgin ears can't handle such innuendo!

The scene in question.



When I first read this comic, I wondered why Rick Flagg would retire on Georgian Bay. Then I read Cooke's bio and figured it out. Note the maple leaf, that panel's gotta be Canadian Thanksgiving weekend in cottage country.

So if I can't have the universe, I'll take Muskoka as long as I get the soulmate too.

Well, what are you doing Thursday? That looks like a good day to retire.

Indeed it was sunny and unseasonably warm today... Unfortunately I was stuck in the city. I did manage to make it to the waterfront this afternoon.

Posted by Fat Cramer on :
 
With climate change, soon the waterfront will manage to make it you!

25 is the first time I can recall driving past a group of teenagers and having the following thought.

"Look at that group of kids, they must be up to no good"

Oldest 25-year-old ever. Jeez... what a dork!!

19 and proud. Best of all -- Tamper Lad is 10 years older than me. So I can mock him. And the mocking... it is joyous.

Okay, you all know I am old (I turn 46 in December) and what the hell, it's okay. I mean inside I fon't feel any different then I did when I was in my 20's. But for fun, for over a year now I have been playing City of Heroes and now City of Villains with an alternate personality who is only 20 years old. I really should have been an actress, or should get off my lazy butt and write, because I am really good at carrying off this ruse. And I have a blast as not being 'me' and getting out of my real head and all my real problems for a while. Anyway, it's what keeps me young lately

Why must i be mocked for fearing teenagers. Very well at 25 I was using my skills to maniupulate teenagers to my will. And enjoying it too, I might add. BWAHAHA.

As for being 29, (and 10 years older than you) perhaps you'd volunteer to be bent to my will as well. It's been a while .
