I can’t recall having read anything which sums me up better. Seriously. The other day, I only had a limited amount of cash on me and had to cook dinner. I was terrifying close to impulse-buying an Ice Age 3 pez dispenser. I almost went hungry for a Pez dispenser. And I don’t even like Ice Age. In fact, I once referred to the entire franchise in passing as “hobgoblin vomit”, but I’d never seen a pez dispenser with tusks and a trunk before, and my simemtaneously complex and retardedly simple brain got all baffled and enamoured.
Long story short, I’m probably the dumbest smart guy you’ll ever meet. Confusingly charming, isn’t it?

Is it just me … or does the real estate agent look like a stick-figure version of Luke …?

@brett: Haha, yup! He does! Go Stick Figure Luke!
I know what you mean about being a kid pretending to be an adult. The first thing I did when I stupidly thought I was ready to be entrusted with a credit card was to impulse buy a play station 3 and 6 games and an extra controller in the one hit!
Play station 3: $900
6 Games: $500
Extra controller: $100
PC game to keep the computer happy: $50
Parents having to pay off my credit card at age 23: Priceless!
(worth it)

Went on a proper adult date to the revolving restaurant (which is still quite childish in itself, I guess), but was so shocked by the doorman calling us ’sir’ and ‘madam’ that I started giggling. Any appearance of adult-ness went completely out the window.

@brett: that entire comic strip is a fairly good representation of the relationship between paul and i

Good God, I just realized that sums me up too. I still idly fantasize about meeting a dalek, wear bottlecaps as a monocle when enjoying a tipple with my friends and eat brightly coloured sweet things late at night and giggle like a small girl. I’m 22 and legally considered an adult. I shall blame society, as it is easier and more convenient than meaningful introspection.

I just used the word tipple, didn’t I. Dangnabit.

Yeah that sums me up too. I’m 25 and still i daydream during boardroom meetings of batman or spider-man breaking in through the window coming to ask for my help on something.

I depserately try to find ways to validate my manchildishness through other means. Oh, hey, my librarian girlfriend needs a display for the holidays on medieval times? I just happen to have a big pile of Lego Castle, oh hey, just happened to buy this big $150 troll fortress to make it look better..
