    God invented Harley's for those that refuse to grow up....

    I thought those were for a mid-life crisis.
    No, that's what Corvettes are for.

    I thought Corvettes were for men with small penises :huh:

    Hell, I hope not!! My goal is to become more and more "real". I'm naturally a fairly serious person with a gr8 smile and I love laughing. I wear rainbow woollen sox under my long black skirt. I dye my hair red and when I wear fingernail polish I try to have a different colour on each nail. My son, when he was in his mid-twenties still jumped on the back rail of the supermarket trolley and went whizzing around the store - he received smiles not frowns lol. One day he skipped going down the Mall, so I did the same. Gee it felt GREAT!!! That's what I want to be when I grow up - unpredictable. I'm only 55 now. Oh and my last wee story - when my son was about 6 years old my grandfather would have been 84. We were visiting - my grandparents lived on a section that was reasonably steep in parts. The boys both came inside and my son said they had been doing roly poly. Thinking of Pop's age I assumed they were lying on their sides rolling down the hill and only found out this year (my grandfather is long gone) that no, it was the somersaults they were doing, head first body tucked under. I felt sick lol. So Devon's goal in life is to do Roly Poly with his great grandson when he is 90!!

    we never grow up, we just get better at pretending we've grown up.

    I concur!!!

    you know, i still like to assemble lego sets occasionally. i was in denmark a while back with a friend, and he likes to build lego sets as well. anyway, there was this big lego store in copenhagen and we went in. he picked up a lego version of the millennium falcon (star wars space ship thingy), and as we were both looking at it, he said "yeah, but it's so big you can't really play with it".

    something about the use of the word 'play' made me feel a bit awkward. i just sort of mumbled, "yeah, true", as if this was a common problem for most men approaching 30. i guess im not much better, as i was in the store as well, but i like to use the analogy of a cannabis user looking down on a heroin addict: neither of us are behaving normally, but he appears to have drawn his line a bit further back than i have mine.

    so anyway, we never really grow up. i like to think that as we go along we learn how to play the game of life a bit better, but that's about it.

    I've got the word 'Kid' tattooed on my back to always remind me to have fun in life and to keep a young heart!
    How do you see it?

    The the midst of a roadtrip last night, the entire car had an in depth but hysterical conversation over farts. Farts will always be funny.

    Growing up is boring and dull. I'd much rather giggle over the word 'fart' than to be old and bitter

    Farts

    No,we don't grow up.. eventually we (hopefully) learn how to act in public but that's about it.

    One of my favorite quotes:

    When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

    It means you have too much money. Please wait for the government to redistribute it for you.

    I'm Canadian. Our government(s) are very, very good at redistribution. In fact, that's the only thing they're good at...

    Every time my husband and I go to a movie where there is a fart joke, I end up laughing louder and longer than anyone in the theater. And even well past that moment in the movie, I'll think about it and laugh again. Farts will never NOT be funny.

    Also, right before reading this thread, I was writing an email to my boss, named Bob, and I wrote Boob ... cracked up at myself. There will be no growing up over here! Glad to know I'm not alone on this front :)
